I have just purchased a refurbished XPS8960 with 64gb ram, which I expected to be quite a fast machine. However, from pressing the "On" switch, to getting to the stage where I can actually use the computer, it takes 7 mins 30 secs.  Is this normal?It is also very noisy with the hard drive (I a

Hi, I am new to the community. I have an XPS 8930 with a BIOS version 1.0.2. This is clearly out of date. The system was crashing but a new monitor and keyboard has rectified that.
