So i recieved my dell xps m1530 yesterday. Specs:
T8300 2.4ghz
4gb ram
8600gt video card
320gb hd
3 year service/accidental
I took the computer out of the box, turned it on, and was prompted with a dialog box stating that windows had failed and when the program attempted to fix the problem, it could not. Hence, i could not access windows at all. After various attempts, i performed a factory default restore formatting hard drive etc, and this solved the problem letting me access windows.
Now, the computer is blazing fast, runs great, my only concern is that i question the integrity of the hard drive, i'm well versed in using computers, but i haven't used a ton of different ones. I feel that possibly the hard drive is performing poorly, it takes like 2 minutes to fully shut down, which is strange when i've heard of other people saying its very quick in startup/shut down.
What should i do? I realllly do not want to send my laptop back, i think i'm just going to call and see what they say.
