Just going on about my experience.
The problem I had was solved after reformatting. So I know it was not a
hardware issue, but an OS fault.
Have you ever had to explain to a sales rep of VP why his year old Dell
is completely toasted? Its not fun. Luckily I'm generally able to
make up some sort of excuse.
I'm sure I could have solved the Dell problems WITHOUT "reformatting".
Any time I read that someone had to do that to solve a problem I laugh.

Yeah, I could have stayed in my hotel room, and talked to Dell tech
support rather than hit the beach, and take a few tours of the island.
Of course "Harry" Khan-Gupta would have told me to reformat at some point.
You don't seem to understand the concept of "traveling." When one is
away from home the last thing he wants to do is mess around with a PC
while watching TV in another language.
That is simply not an option for me. The ONE time I absolutely needed
to use that machine and get something out, it died on me. Blue Screens
- even in safe mode. Luckily hotel management was more than helpful and
I did what needed to be done.
Don't sit here and tell me *you* could have solved the problem; I find
that hard to believe. I've been doing this along time, I've seen it
all. Perhaps you could have fixed it as god as new. However, trying
ten different things over the course of a few days as opposed to wiping
the drive and reinstalling in a few hours. I keep all my data files on
the network so there's no problem there.
You know what I laugh at? The guy I have a meeting with who said hit IT
guy solved the problem, but it came back and he can't do a presentation.
That's what I laugh at.
