Re: Dell with a capital H
No, I think what it is, is that they use cheap bits, Dell own brand mobo? unbranded ram.
This puter was £1099 + bitys and pieces which took it to £1500.
Thats not cheap, I could build a super puter for that!!
But it does have a 19" tft :01:
Anyway I's done it. It seems the only disc which would boot (for some really bizzarre reason) was the Dell diagnostic cd, altho you put the disc in, choose the diag and it restarts. Once at the menu I ejected the diag disc and bunged in xp and booted from disc :D
Now fully reinstalled xp and drivers and it's running fine :)
Just gotta put progs and stuff in.
Jonno :cool:

Is it possible you got some kind of virus or tojan that caused it?

Re: Dell with a capital H
Yeah thats what I think it was,6 kids trolling game and ringtone sites all day and shit, d/ling stuff that they don't understand, installing shit and stuff they don't know what it is or does.
Something in the startup which holted the process.
Proved simply by the fact that it started in safe and diagnostic mode.
But I went in startup and could'nt find anything, ran htj, cwshredder, pest patrol and avg and they found nothing. Regcleaner too.
Cleaned everything up and could'nt get it to boot normally, same screen every time.
Format was the easiest option.........or so I thought :lol:

So you were badmouthing Dell for something that probably wasn't their fault :nono: :whistling ;)
Re: Dell with a capital H
No, I'm badmouthing Dell because the software they installed made it run slow and when uninstalled they would'nt go away, kinda like McAffe and Norton lol, I'm blaming dell because their piece of shit only has usb ports, and because Del button does'nt take you to bios......nor does any other button :frusty:
If the same happend to my puter I would have been able to sort it a hell of a lot faster :rolleyes:
Oh well, it's a Dell :lol:
Jonno :cool:
