    ok so this morning i booted my comp up only to be greeted by an oh so familiar problem...

    STOP 0x00000007B

    however it didnt have the inaccesible boot device i was told last time this happened that the hard drives had come out of sync and that the comp was fried :| so PC world gave me a replacement..... anyway i booted it up and got this now im running a Dell XPS M1730 with Vista SP1 however when i press the Dell Media key which is locatewd next to the power button just over the Caps, num and scroll lock indicators it sometimes boots and sometimes dosent i dont wanna have to go back to PC world again as there all idiots and arnt really much of a help , plus thewy usually end up blaming me for it :| so anyone got any ideas as to what it is?

    Moved to Dell XPS.

    A cursory Google search suggests that it may be a HD problem?
