My experience with tech support people over the last couple of years has been pretty bad. I don't know what happened to all the good ones, most now a days are clueless and it's hard to believe they can hold a position as a tech support technician. Bad, clueless tech supports I have run into this year: Microsoft Lenovo Seagate Acronis Years ago I had really good luck with Microsoft, but they are pretty bad now.

(my I/O parity BSOD) So, the problem seemed to go away, but today I installed ATI's Catalyst Control Center (my video kept stalling/freezing when I switched to full screen). Again, right at bios check I/O card parity interrupt at 0000:0077 Death! So after a couple attempts and even a safe boot to poke around, I finally remembered that there is one lone video setting in this PC's bios that I can change, so... "SERR DMI" whateverthehell that is, is now disabled and everything is great now, no tech support required! Today was a good day.
