    Hi, I've had my Studio 15 for about a month now and every so often it doesn't startup properly and only shows a blank screen. Then when I reset the computer it goes through startup repair and system restores. This usually happens after I install any new program on the computer. Anybody know how to fix this problem?

    Are you using the factory installation? If so, I'd do a clean installation and see if you still have the problem. A lot of these Dell factory installations seem to be utter junk these days.
