BWJ,
The next time this happens ( before you press delete ) note the colors of the 4 led lights on the back of the computer. Post that information here and someone will steer you in the right direction.
Also post as much information about your computer as possible ie model, amount of ram, etc.

Hi:
I have a dim. 4100 and had the same problem. This url may be of some help in understanding the diagnostic lights and some suggestions on what to do.
http://docs.us.dell.com/docs/systems/dzuul/codemess.htm
I tried removing and replacing the cards with no success. Finally I ran a diagnostic on my hard and it warned me of an imminate failure so I replaced my hard drive. That did the trick. This is not a software problem so you might get more info. in the general hardware forum. Good luck
