Dell is Sending Me a New Computer Comparible to What I Have Now by Monica
Saturday, I got a blue screen with a PFN_List_Corrupt error message, powered down the computer (to restart) and when I did, it revved up like a jet engine. I'm sure it would have (literally) blown up if I hadn't reached the electrical plug in time! Smoke was coming out of the back of the...
