    for some reason i got this error message on my first bootup and it still popups every now and then (an attachment should be uploaded with this post)

    i seem to have one dead pixel as it remains white all the time and i was wondering what are my options to remedy this or will I have to live with it?

    if i hit ctrl+f11 right at the dell bootup screen will this really reset my notebook to factory settings (i havent partioned anything yet or reformatted yet) since I did it once before and the bluetooth icon doesnt look like its in the factory state?

    Is it always the EXACT same message or is it basically the same with different memory addresses each time? It could be a sign of faulty memory or other "hardware" issue, or a faulty configuration somewhere

    Most manufacturers won't replace a screen if it's just a single pixel. Do a google search for stuck lcd and there are a variety of things you could try but most likely you are stuck with it.
