    I have a new Dell Venue Pro 11 with Windows 8.1. It freezes at random times -- on random processes (music, firefox, etc.) -- goes to the BSOD and  into a restart. Happens a few random times-- a day; no pattern. Looking through the answers to related questions seems it comes down to hardware problem (new machine) or reinstall the OS. Correct?

    Did you installed any software or programs before problem started?

    In start, search for Windows Update and run it and install all updates.

    In start, search for Action Center and open it, check if there is any message.
