Okay Then

Either not the memory, or not only the memory.

Joy.

Update: Memtest-86 is on the third pass without finding any errors.

Not the memory, then.

Not the disk drive, since I swapped that yesterday and it died within ten minutes.

It happens whether I'm on battery or mains power.

Grr.

Dell is having a sale right now...

1 Could be worse. You could be Scott Adams: When I worked at Pacific Bell, all of my computers crashed and fried on a regular basis. One time my assignment was to build an electronic bulletin board – essentially a souped up PC with special circuit boards. I ordered all of the components, including the several special boards. But I couldn’t get it to work. It took about two months to determine, through trial and error, that every single component I ordered was defective. Everything from the mother board to the specialty boards, to the monitor, to the keyboard. What were the odds of that? For me, it was routine.

2 Sheesh... I'd go out and buy a lottery ticket after that.

3 Dell are always having a sale.

I have to say the XPS M1210 looks pretty sweet.

4 When every single component you order for a computer is defective, and defective parts are a routine experience, it's not time to change distributors, it's time to review your safeguards against static electricity.
