I'm having a very interesting problem with this unit. When we turn the PC on it appears to be on but we get nothing on the screen. No error messages, NOTHING!!! It takes about 3 to 5 manual shutdowns for us to get the PC going. I have done the following and I'm still having this problem:

 

- Re-install windows xp pro with SP3

- Updated BIOS to A07 (I think this is the lastest)

- Update the display updater driver to the latest

- Updated the network card drivers to the latest

- Updated the  Intel chipset to the latest

 

I don't know what else to upgrade as this doesn't seem to be a windows application problem. This only occurs on a cold boot. I have also run the Dell utility program that comes with the PC and had it run a complete test on all the HW devices and the program didn't find any errors. Any ideas? Any help/info would be appreciated.
