XPS 700 woes
Hi all,
probably come across this one before but here goes.
XPS 700 been playing up since it was bought October 2006 (belongs to my CEO), intermittent bsod (pointing to nvidia 7950 from what I can see by the dump) done dell call they've replaced motherboard and video card (thanks dell ltd for including uk on the motherboard upgrade exchange program 700 to 720 - not).
Now I re-built from scratch my problem is this, on shutting down gets to stuck on WINDOWS IS SHUTTING DOWN... screen. It's intermittent though, have checked logs nothing showing, have to power off manually. Thing is the system is still responding, or at least keyboard and mouse work.
It has been re-built with a test copy of xp, and the system software xp media.
I have a feeling it's the bios, as it's only been doing this since I upgraded it. Is anyone else experiencing this.
Cheers for any replies in advance
Jus

That was nice of them. Won't be buying another.
Cheers for the reply though Boldie, have sorted it out, don't ask me how was under pressure as the ceo wanted machine back but I messed with the following.
o I checked power settings in the bios, turned off green stuff.
o Turned off green stuff in the os.
o Re-installed latest nvidia nforce drivers
now running solid again. Shutdown everytime, this with the latest bios as of last week. 1.4.1

Would you consider going back to old bios version?
