something is seriously wrong!!!

I AM HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH MY DESKTOP.  I HAVE WINDOWS XP, AND I HAVE HAD THE BLUE "FATAL SCREEN" COME UP AT LEAST HALF A DOZEN TIMES.  I HAVE CALLED DELL AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

    crystal eyes,

    Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

    What is the exact text of the error so that we know what you are dealing with? You may also want to test the system with the diagnostics that came with it to determine if the problem is hardware.

    i really don't know what the text is, and how do you run a diagnostic?

    In order to help us narrow the problem down from a few hundred thousand possibilities, you really need to write down the error message that appears on the blue screen when it occurs and type that error message into a reply on this forum. In other words - what does it say on that screen.
