    I just finished reformatting and I'm on the desktop, but the highest resolution it'll go to is 1400x1050. I had 1080p before! Help? Is this a driver problem because I have not installed them yet
    Also I'm clicking the Eject Button and the DVD isn't ejecting

    There should be a small hole on the outside of the dvd drive. Jam a paper clip in there.

    That should open it.

    Nahh, but you'd never guess what happened. After having a DELL TECH SUPPORT guy install all the drivers and help me, today after installing firefox and steam, I get a BSOD and am forced to restore to factory settings... My god..
