    Hi, are there any updates on how to solve the frequent problem occuring with the XPS M1210? My xps still HANG/FREEZE on start up & shutting down. Pls help, I'm really getting frustrated with this problems. I don't want to keep formating it again and again or booting in cold boot... Pls Pls HELP. Pls guide me to the latest and best hardware driver for my laptop....
    Last resort can someone guide me to the latest and best way to format it back to dell factory setting...."With Media Direct"
    My xps originally came with Vista, so i format the whole HDD(delete every partition) and did a fresh install on xp pro....Now the laptop ALWAYS FREEZE!!!!
    TQ. Regards.

    If you are still in warranty, chat with Dell rep. online and tell them your issue (you may amplify a little bit), then ask for a system replacement...I got my M1330 because my previous M1210 smoked and screen turned white and then Dell upgraded my system for FREE.

    TQ for the reply, will just try that... Don't like to call the actually, too many question and end up with..."Just try to format it again..."

    You have to show them that the problem REALLY bothers you and you are considering the building quality of Dell...well, as it cares about its rep., things should go well...
