    Just keep an eye on it, as soon as it blue screens reboot and check the log the last one should be the error that caused it.

    The i8042prt error was the last one before the BSOD today. There aren't any other errors for today except for my "unexpected shutdown"

    That sounds like it was an error at startup though?

    If you want some piece of mind on the hard drive you can test it with http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/sup...loads/seatools it doesn't matter if it's a seagate hard drive or not, run the quick tests and if it passes those then run a long test. The long will take a couple hours though, I'd try not to use the computer while it is testing.
