Mine (Dimension 9200) has just gone back because playing a slideshow in Vista would cause it to blue screen.
Turns out it may be a fault on the audio controller chip... took 5 reinstalls off my own back and one that they insisted I did with them on the phone.. eventually they admitted that there may be something wrong with the machine - 5 days after I called them to say that something may be wrong with the machine.
And it's so right about the graphics card fan - mine sounds like it is about to take off at any moment - it has got to the point that I have decided that I may invest in a passively cooled card.
Would I buy a Dell again... never...
I have better things to do than convince an Indian call centre that the organisation they are represented have sent me a broken machine...
