I just recently purchased my DELL PC with the capabilities to run dual monitors. However, about an hour or two of working with both screens (Photoshop on one & Dreamweaver on the other) all of a sudden I’d get the “blue screen of death” (BSOD). At first I was like WTF? the PC is brand new! So the first thing I did was unplug the connection to the PC and monitor and restart the PC thinking that would work… nope! Soon after I’d get the BSOD again… this time I thought hmmm something is wrong so I called Dell customer support hoping they’d help. WRONG! The guy on the other end of the phone tells me that it might be my software and I’d have to pay for software tech support… SO I started arguing with the guy about paying for software support when the PC is new so I said “I just bought the PC!!” he then said “either pay for the software support or buy a new graphics card which may be the problem” I was like “are you kidding me?? I just purchased this PC less then six months ago and you want me to purchase new hardware inorder for it to work properly??” WTF!

So after the Dell customer support battle I Googled the error that I was getting which was “Display driver atikmdag stopped responding and has successfully recovered” or it’s something along those lines… the BSOD happens so fast that it’s hard to capture the exact phrase. I haven’t gotten any luck from Dell as to If they are going to send a replacement graphics card or something to help this error stop. However, I have found a bunch of sites that are geared towards this same topic. Here they are below… If you know of any others please feel free to leave them as a comment.

5 Things I Hate About Other Drivers

While taking my daily commute from work today I sat in my car while traffic would barely move and I thought hmmmm.. what do I hate most about other drives and the way they drive? Well with that in mind I started to jot them down.

So now I present to you 5 of the worst things I hate when it comes to other people and the way they drive.

5	Cellphone People – When I pull up to someone while driving and I notice that they are on a Cellphone it just drives me crazy not the simple fact that they are on the cellphone it’s the fact that they are either driving too slow or are driving all over the road.
4	Toss of a Cigarette - When people toss out a cigarette when they drive. OMG that just makes me want to throw a molotov cocktail in there window cause that’s pretty much what they are doing to my bumper if the cherry of their cigarette sticks to my car.
3	Slow People – Granted it’s against the law to speed but come on when it’s a 45 mph zone and the person in front of you is doing 30 mph this just drives me crazy! It’s like everyone turns into a Sunday driver when you have to be somewhere on time.
2	Loud Speaker People – When it comes to this I just look at them and shake my head because they are usually driving in a older Hyundai (yes a Hyundai) that they are trying to sport up to race their friends the money they used to buy their crappy speaker system could have been a nice down payment on a better car then what they have.
1	The Casual Wave – It’s when you have to common courtesy to let someone cut in front of you while in traffic and they don’t have the respect to give a thumbs up, a wave, or anything to thank you for letting them in front of you.

Do you know of any that drive you crazy while driving..? If so please feel free to leave a comment.Similar Posts:
