    Hello people,

    I just got this amazing netbook yesterday and I'm loving it.

    But I just found a problem that I'm really worry. I'm trying to use Sisoft Sandra Lite 2010 and do some benchmarks and when I start with the processor benchmarks the computer freezes. It is not OC.


    Also I have this problem when I use the VMWARE Workstation, I have a virtual machine with Windows 2008 R2 and runs slow and sometimes gave me this frozen screen.

    My configuration is: i7 ,4GB and 320GB. It

    I ran the Alienware Test in the start up and it didn't find anything wrong.

    Also I have issues when OC at 166 or 164, the system does the same thing.


    Please help me guys. I have Windows 7 Home Premium.

    That doesn't sound normal at all.
    It may have a hardware problem or a driver problem.
    Try booting up in safe mode (F8 @ Startup) and run Sandra from there. If you still freeze up, it's most likely a hardware problem. If that's the case, you will have to call Dell and go through the whole song and dance.

    Sorry to hear about that problem.

    I cannot run the Sisoft Sandra 2010 Lite Sp1a in safe mode.I guess I'm going to need to get another software or version to see how this goes.

    Please guys let me know what else I can do. Thank you.
