Dimension 8400 fan goes nuts Hello Everyone, I purchased a Dimension 8400 in the beginning of August. Yesterday, pressed the on button, the Dell started with the usual power up. Both CD bays flashed as if they were being detected by the bios, then the lights went off. Usually, the harddrive...

I've been to MSFT forums, and yesterday, an XP newsgroup, but they are not helpful, so before I do an XP repair (not from Repair Console): The machine is a Dell 6400 laptop, running XPHome, SP3. All's been running fine for a long time, until... Now, upon each reboot, if I open up any applets...

I'm looking for a PC w/at least a 3.4Mhz processor, 1 Gig RAM, 128 Meg Vid. RAM and 80 gig hard drive. A 2nd 10k RPM 80 gig HD would be nice but I think it'd be cheaper to by that on aftermarket & install it. I'd also want a 17 or 18" LCD. I'm looking to spend $1400ish. The machine will be used...

Hello all, please note I'm NOT asking for pirated software! From what I've read, and from talking to Dell representatives, this isn't pirating. I just bought a laptop used, and it didn't come with the restore disks. It DID come with the Certificate of Authenticity and product key for windows xp...
