It does it in safe mode too. Right after the xp splash screen all thats left is black screen and the mouse cursor that still works.
I tried all the check disk from the recovery council and last good configuration. I even tried a restore from backup from a run from disk program I have.
The odd part is Ive been seeing quite a few like this come in for repairs. I normally just wipe them and reinstall but they want to keep there data on this dell laptop.
