It's happened twice so far. The screen will go black; and then it will start to flash. This last time I shut it off and turned it back on; and it was OK. If it continues, it will have to go back to Dell for repair.
My printer should be coming today.
What are you up to?

How is it working today? Did you have to take it in?

No. The Dell techs got into it twice and downloaded some needed software. For right now, it appears to be OK.

So sorry you are having trouble. What kind of printer did you get?

Sounds nice. I have an HP printer with a scanner and copier in it.

It happened again after the Dell tech downloaded some software...So another Dell tech downloaded some more software. It seems OK for now. Knock on wood. It needed some firmware and drivers I guess.

@porwest Hopefully this should be it. A brand new computer should not be having these problems.

@LindaOHio No. I agree. I get a new computer to absolve of problems.

Technical support updated the drivers; and that seems to have helped!

Actually I'm quite calm. It's like I'm expecting more things to happen.

It ended up just being some drivers/firmware that needed to be downloaded. It's fine now!

My computer was acting slow a few mins ago. It's working fine now. I have been trying get everything I need to get done before 5pm tonight. I'm going to see Christmas lights with my Sunday School class.

I would ask for a new one, messing up after two days is ridiculous...
