Broken in Record Time

So my $1200 desktop that I assembled this past August has failed me. I think it's the motherboard, but I'm still trouble shooting it with the manufacturer. In the end, I'm sure that they'll deny me a replacement mobo and I'll be stuck purchasing a new one. Ugh. Now you might be wondering what I'm typing on now. I'm not using my Dell Latitude from work. Instead, I'm using my new Dell XPS 1330. There was a fantastic offer from work on one, so I purchased my laptop a little earlier than I wanted. Since my little beast desktop is broke, I'm quite happy that I have this lappy. So, what's inside, you thinking. Well, this XPS is 13.3 inches, LED back light display, 2.2 GHz Core2 Duo with 3 gigs of ram, 160HD @ 7200 RPM, a 128 meg 8400 GS graphics card, bluetooth, n-wireless, and some decent software (Adobe Premiere and Photoshop Elements). I just received this computer this afternoon, but by this evening I had to re-image the harddrive. Yes, I broke my computer in less than 12 hours. I think it was because I was installing a new virtual drive and somehow during installation it corrupted a system file. I couldn't boot up in safe mode for Windows. Oh, what a pain.

Well, I'm happy now because it's re-imaged and it's working better now. Hopefully, it won't puke on me. Later
