Inline tasks come to mind. Here's your example with inline tasks:

,----
| * Installation of PC X
| 
| ** Hardware configuration
| blah,blah,blah,
| 
| ** Software configuration
| I intall app x, no trouble
| 
| I try to install app y, but no luck
| *************** TODO App Y is giving trouble, fix
| Details about trouble...
| *************** END
| 
| I install app z, no trouble
`----

The command to insert an inline task is 'org-inlinetask-insert-task'; I
believe that there is no default binding.
