My XPS is 2 weeks old and overall I'm pretty happy with it, but it did 2 screwy things, 1 time each.
After coming out of hibernation last week, the usb ports were "dead" until I restarted. I tried 2 working USB devices in 2 of the ports.
Just today, after defragging, the audio was "dead" (the volume controls worked). I opened an old game (Biohazard 4) and noticed major lag and no sounds on the title screen. However Alt+f4 was very responsive. Oddly enough I opened iTunes, double-clicked a song, and it wouldn't play at all. The timer stayed at 0. I tried a few songs. The computer was able to shut down and restart properly, and everything is normal now.
