    Well I just called Dell a few hours ago and he did the same exact thing I had done to uninstall/reinstall drivers and what not to try and fix the issue and told me if it was the card then running anything even simple programs would cause the crash which I honestly don't think is the case. I have a feeling the guy knew nothing so I'm probably gonna call back tomorrow and try and get a tech out here with a replacement or something because this is kind of ridiculous. Brand new computer and I can't even use it for the reasons I bought it.

    What's going to probably happen with another DELL Tech is they will have you run the built in diagnostics, when you boot the PC you press f12 and choose run diagnostics and write down any errors it reports. When you call the tech and they suggest you do what you have been told to do by the other tech it will be in your profile so you can state you have done this w/o resolution and ran the diagnostics and received the following error codes. You can also post those codes here and maybe tou'll have an answer before having to call DELL again.

    Problem with that is I've ran every single test with no problems. I'm quite confused to say the least. But Dell is already shipping me a new system so if THAT doesn't fix the problem then someones getting their face chewed off.

    When the new system arrive I cannot stress enough that you, or your brother, open the case and reseat very component card, RAM module and check each and every cable for tightness prior to booting up the system, regardless of who the carrier is and the fact that a carton shows no sign of damage things do get jostled in transit! Keep us posted.

    Well it's gonna take ~a month to build and ship my new system so I won't have much of an update for a while but I'll be sure to keep you guys posted and thanks for all your time.

    I'd do to this PC what I suggested you do to the new one when it arrives a GPU card not completely set in the slot can and will cause great havoc much like what you are experiencing, as I said PC's get jostled in transit.

    New PC is here and it's working absolutely perfect. So I assume it was just a fried card or something. Thanks for the help.
