Constant Boot Issues and Freezes
I've been having some issues with the booting of my XPS 420. I got it a few weeks ago, and it was fine orginally. It'd had two problems in the last two days. It is standard except for the 2x500GB NON-Raid.
Firstly, it keeps freezing. The "Busy" cursor appears with the spinning circle, and the mouse continues to move and it continues to spin, but everything else locks up. You can't switch applications or turn off the PC. I have waited a long time, and eventually had to give up.
After these crashes happen, I tend to have problems booting up. It fails at different places. Sometimes, I get the green loading bar for Vista, and then it freezes before logins screen appears. Sometimes, I log in and it freezes like it does in the first point. A lot of the time, it doesn't get past Intel Storage Matrix - it just sits there with a flashing dash seemingly forever.
What can I do?
