I did the 10 minute test about 1pm EST. It asked if I wanted to continue with a full test and that took about 45 minutes or so, rechecking memory and my HDDs.
How long did the hard drive diagnostic take? The quick 10-minute test is not definitive - you need the extended test, which takes somewhere around two hours (or more for larger drives).

Press F12 at powerup, boot to the Dell diagnostics, and run an extended test on the hard drive.

I just got done doing full Dell diagnostics. Everything is operating normally, or so it says.

Problem persists. Any other insight?
