    What a piece of crap
    I was loving this machine up until yesterday, when I started getting random BSODs

    I ran windows update (vista business) all the way through all available updates.
    Now?
    I can't even start windows
    the Initial Dell splash screen takes a good 45 seconds or so, and then I just get a black screen

    I can't even get into the freaking bios or boot menu
    Well done dell

    I actually managed to fix it by swapping hard drives and reformatting the original one by putting it in a USB bay
