I purchased a dell XPS400 this past March.In June the computer began shutting down and other problems occured.Called Dell and they replaced the motherboard.Two weeks ago, my computer again began to shut down for no apparent reason.Called Dell and they replaced the motherboard and put in a new processor.Has anybody else had a problem with their "new" Dell XPS400??Would appreciate hearing from you.

{size:18px}[/size]:D Hi : Too bad you got a Dell ; I "warn" everyone I can NOT to get one of their computers. What junky programs came with it ? Perhaps they are "wearing" out your hardware faster than usual !? Some Engineer developed a program for a friend of his to remove the junky programs the major manufactors put on their computers; originally it was called the "Dell De-Crapifier", but recently he changed the name to "PC De-Crapifier" available at : www.yorkspace.com/pc-de-crapifier/ .

Dell makes decent computers. I have a bunch of clients with Dells and very few if any problems. Every computer maker has an occasional lemon. I would push Dell for a new PC, if you push hard enough, they will take care of you.Davehttp://www.davescomputerserv.com

Occasional lemon with Dell = 4.1 million recalled batteries. :wink:

Well, to be fair, that's a Sony problem, not a Dell problem.(and believe me, I'm no Dell apologist)

Yeah, but it maybe not been sonys problem. Dell want configue it a speical way and so was apples problem on the battery thing. Sony just listen to what they want and makes its the way they like it.

This video is hilarious, not the dead dells, but make sure to pay attention at the end...http://youtube.com/watch?v=w13zLX3ycfcGO APPLE? (what kind of idiot woul;d make this!? Aplles blow up 2!) :shock:

Apple also recalled batteries due to the same problem, I don't hear anyone making any remarks about that fact.Dell makes good computers for the most part, well, at least notebooks, their desktops are extremely overpriced, and you usually only get the best processors on their 3,500+ dollar systems.I've never invested in a Dell desktop since the P3 days, after that, they got to be greedy. Their support is pretty good, though.The Dell computer my brother had, had to get a new hard drive, due to the hard drive being corrupted (and it's only 3 years old).
