Hello! 

I recently bought a "gaming" laptop. I say "gaming" because laptops are not powerful enough for real hard core games, I know.  I bought an MSI GT72 Dominator G (32GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia 970M 3GB VRAM 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD. And ever since I got it it's been running, well, sometimes good and sometimes bad.  When it runs bad, it crashes about twice a day on the BSOD and I wanted to ask, are all gaming laptops like that? I want to know if I should return my computer and get a different one if not all gaming laptops are like that. If I do return my laptop, please recoment a good gaming laptop. I need a laptop because it's portability is essential for me, so no desktop.  Please recomend a laptop with a 980M and if it can sopport more harddrives as I have two m.2s here with me.

 

Thanks!

Josh

Could be overheating which is causing the problem, try monitoring your temps.

i'm not to sure if this will apply to your model but..

 

My msi laptop had BSOD issues as well,in the end it was due to conflicting drivers.

Mine didn't have as many varietion of BSODs tho and definitely didn't BSOD as frequently.

but theres still a possibility that it might be the issue
