    I recently re-formatted my studio xps 16 after I got it. Now I'm experiencing random BSOD's which I solve the problem by selecting the option of starting windows at last safe spot, or whatever it says. My question is should I re-format again to solve this problem or is it something I have to deal with?

    I had a similar problem that went away when I pulled from my6gb configuartion a 4G ram chip, and left in a 2G chip. To make a long story short, eventually dell replaced the motherboard.
