    So today the screen of my m1330 suddenly messes up. The background went completely white with vertical purple lines everywhere. I couldn't make out anything on the windows desktop. I restarted the machine but I couldn't even see the startup Dell logo. After several restarts, (by pressing the power button) the screen was back to normal :confused:
    Under Win XP pro SP2, I get a message saying the system has recovered from a serious error.

    What do you think has caused this? Should there be any cause for concern? I first thought it was a loose wire or something but now its ok. (I haven't shutdown the system yet to see whether it will happen again)
