Vista - Windows Vista Splash Screen

10-14-2007

I have a start up problem. It is Dell's article # 316056. On startup,
There is a bar that fills in white. Sometimes it fills in only half way and
it just freezes, thus no startup. I have to shut it down again, and start
over. Usually, it will go ahead and complete startup the second time
around. And it doesn't always act up. But it is a pain. I restored my
system to factory restore. It didn't help, and I didn't think it would.
But that article #316056 suggested that be done. It was like this when I
got it from Dell. So restoring it, was for nothing. Does anyone know
about this problem? If so, please help! ahwah

The best advice is to call Dell and arrange to return the system in exchange
for one that works. If a computer has a problem as serious as this, right
out of the box, I would not trust it to be very dependable.

Hi,

If it did this right from the start, then you probably have a hardware
issue. Exercise your warranty, as the system or a component likely needs
replacing.

Sounds like a hardware issue. Send it back.
