Vostro 1500 CRASH with XP.

It's the Finals Week and I'm busting my Ass off trying to finish some papers on my new Vostro 1500.
BUT, when I decided to take a break from studying by playing Fifa on it, it
crashed 3 times in less than 15 minutes. WTF???

FYI: I had it for less than 2 weeks now with absolutely no problems.

Could Anyone please tell me what I should do?
Should I ask for a replacement for it? or should I return the whole piece of crap and get my money back??

Once I'm done with the exams, I can send it back and then wait for a while...
I don't really mind waiting...
but the problem is I have been having trouble with laptops ever since I switched to DELL?
Should I get an HP or something?
if you have any advice, Please shoot it my way.
Thanks

 

Would you mind discribing that what kind of crash it was? blue screen?

 

I got a white screen, and none of the buttons would respond, I had to restart it three times for the crash to disapper

 

What drivers are you using?

Does this happen with other software and/or games?

Did you do a clean install?

 

I just mentioned the details bro...

but here they are again,


I started Fifa 2007 on my laptop, played for a 5 minutes and then the screen turned White with some weird colors. None of the buttons were responding, I had to press the turn ON/OFF button for a while to turn it off.

I did that 3 times until it was fixed, temporarily.

What should I do in this case?

 

As sleepy0 said, please also provide the info. of video driver and whether you OC or not...

 

Man, all the specs are in my sig.... I don't have an Nvidia,
I have the basic intel graphics card which SUCKS

Dell Vostro 1500
Intel® Core 2 Duo T5270 (1.4GHz/800Mhz)
15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA LCD Display with TrueLife
2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
160GB Hard Drive
Windows® XP Home
56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery

 

Quick tip: run the dell diagnostics upon boot.

You still haven't answered my other questions, bro...

 

Thanks,

But I don't seem to be following..
I don't know what you mean by OC, and I don't know what's a video card.


Not my fault I think,

But thanks for looking anyways,

 

Well, you should have said so in the first place!

At this point, your best bet is to call Dell.

 

Anyone can help here???
