UNSOLVED

700m locking up, black screen, unresponsive keyboard.
All,
I have a week-old 700m and am having problems keeping it on for long periods of time. I can't pinpoint the source of the problem, but if I leave the computer on over-night when I try to use it again it is locked up. The screen will be black, it won't respond to any key combonations and requires a hard reset to restart.
I have turned off stand-by and hibernation. I have disabled "Turn off hard-disks and monitors". And I am not running any special software while it is left on. I have seen a few other threads on this board regarding this problem, but no solutions.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've been waiting for a fix for months now, with no specific solution being posted on the forums or offered by Dell. People have uninstalled/reinstalled Windows (doesn't work), bought new RAM (don't know if that works or not), had their motherboards replaced by Dell (doesn't work), changed their power settings (doesn't work), flashed back to a previous BIOS (doesn't seem to work), etc...
Dell hasn't offered an explanation as to why so many of us have and are still dealing with this issue, and worse yet, they have offered no fix or remorse for our situations.
