Hi all
Re Inspiron 9300 WinXP Pro.
Am infrequently receiving blinking blue screen with black dashes on entire
screen without error message. Can only get rid of it by shutting down
computer with the start button. Control/alt/delete has no effect during this
problem.
Thanks for any help.

Since this is a Media Center newsgroup and you're running XP Pro, you might
want to ask on an XP newsgroup. Offhand, I'd suggest you download the latest
video drivers from Dell for that machine and try them...
