okay so i was on my other pc, and i launched up SL, then m,y pc froze, the whole thing, i left for a few seconds then when i came bakc i saw it pop to a blue screen of death, so does SL hog THAT much ram that it causes a bleu screen, or does my back up PC suck?

The bleu cheese screen of death is almost always caused by out-of-date drivers. After that, 99% of the time it flaky hardware or heat problems.

Oh my it DOES make a big difference. My laptop used to get super hot running SL. I had low memory on my graphics card so I think it was working hard to run the app, plus the fans were clogged with cat fur. That computer died very soon after. LOL Couldn't take the SL heat!

What kind of graphics card is in the backup PC?
Write down the BSOD error text next time and post it here. It might state a device driver name, allowing us to pinpoint it to specific hardware in your machine. _____________________

OH YES, hint for cat owners- regualarly check pc innards for that damned cat fur....  I had a BSOD when my memory failed a while ago. _____________________
