A week later and my PC is fix0red.
Nice chap came and Dell basically gave him a new motherboard and graphics card to install. All seems well for now but I have to go through that painful process of removing the free shit, mcafee and updating to SP2.
I originally had a Nvidia GTX 8800 but they gave me a GTX 285 as a replacement.
So I bought a Dell 710 and it has now been upgraded to a 720. Woo XD
Anyway can anyone tell me how good this card is? I understood the 8800 GTX was top notch when I bought it but this card is a mystery to me. How much better are the cards above this one?
As for building my own PC. I'm sure it's exciting but like I said to my father yesterday. The Dell dude couldn't answer any of my software questions but was great at building the hardware side of it.
My point is, I'm more software than hardware and really don't have the patience to learn. Besides for 100 pounds I'm covered for three years and don't have to worry about sorting it out. Lazy ftw.
EDIT
By the way for some reason I now have a new V drive with about 47.7 mb space and filled with Dell Diagnostic this and so on. Wonder if he left it plugged in @_@
