    Hey Guys!

    I've encountered a strange problem with my 9400,
    sometimes it hangs after the xp bootup screen and i have to turn off the power sevreal times to get it upp and running again.

    And sometimes i even have to go into safe mode run chkdsk and after that i can login again.

    Spoke to dell and they thought it might be hd/driver relates issues.
    Reinstalled Nvidia drivers from dell no other driver is better according to him :D.

    So what do you guys think?

    I would do a re-install of windows...that will tell you if it is Windows or hardware causing the problem.
