All Dell boxes I have come with some *really* helpful diagnostic utilities. Run them overnight in continuous mode. That's the first thing dell will make you do if you call to ask for a repair, so you might as well do it ahead of time. If you don't have the diagnostics installed in the "utility" partition, you can download them onto floppies from Dell's support site. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
