    The first time it was turned on, the display was all garbled with multi colors. You could make out that it said it could not load windows. Did a reboot and it was OK. Everything works as it should. But, it does the same thing again coming out of sleep mode or when it is turned on. Doesn't do it everytime, only about 10% of the time. It does it from when it would come up and start to say DELL and begin loading, sometimes you can almost read what it says other times it is total color garble with sections of complete black screen. Thanks for any help.
