I have a computer that has had some problems which are Crashing and freezing. The original cause of this was from a bad download for GMOD9.(I think) Then I got Windows 7 for it and the complete new memory fixed this. Until the computer couldn't power on. (We have Best Buy warranty on it.) So we brought it in. This first trip was one of 6 spanning from January to Present. After we got it back for the first time the freezing and crashing started and never ended after several things were replaced via Best Buy. Since the 4th trip some smartass at Geek Squad said it was Steam and had noted to keep the firewall off/update. This was a crock and after 2 weeks the problems started again. Motherboard, Drives, Reinstall of Windows 7(2). Power system, and fans have been replaced.
Also, the diagnostics the support runs showed no hardware problems, so nothing could be done. Since computer warranty only covers hardware problems they can't do shit, literally, they thought updating the graphic drivers would do something. I'm beginning to think Steam may or may be the problem. Any thoughts or suggestions can help.
If you think you can help I can go get th model of the computer.
The problem is that you keep bringing it in to the morons at Best Buy.

I'm aware of that. And I'm actually about to get a hands on person at Best Buy who knows what they're doing and could help.
Geek Squad is scamming you.

your answer is no
valve made steam to crash and destroy computers
Your problem is you are taking your computer to the idiots at bestbuy. Learn to fix it your self, you will save allot of time and money.
What kinds of errors are you getting exactly and what are you doing when they occur? From the sounds of it there could be lots of different things causing this, I wouldn't really put a whole lot a faith in geeksquad either. I mean they perform diagnostics to a certain degree but really they can't do much real troubleshooting that doesn't result in simply reinstalling the OS (I used to work for geeksquad).

Well usually it freezes during almost everything browsing the internet, playing a game, or just dling a game using steam. It's really random and frequent. For crashing (blue screen), only every few days.
