What is the manufacturer of your hard drive? And see if you can get into bios and find the +12V, +5V and +3.3V readings. You also have a Dell Diagnostic on your laptop. Boot into that and run the whole test.
how do i find that info? and how to access the Dell Diagnostic Tool? if i press F2 on startup i get the Setings listing where i cant see any of the qw's you ask.
You may not have it, but try F11 or F12 at the Dell Logo screen and see if you have the diagnostic option.
ok i ran itdidnt show anything "no Diagnostic Utility Partition Identified" Whatever that means. So now what?
Again, if you can boot into bios and tell me the +12v, +5V and +3.3V reading. Also, download and run the manufacturer of your hard drive's diagnostic program. Run the short and long test and tell us the results. And, Please fill out your system specs in as much detail as possible. Go to your last post, click 'My System Specs' There will be a link there to update it, when finished, please be sure to click save at the bottom of the page. Also, please keep a close watch on your CPU temps.
