Dell is know for that crap, I don't know how many I had to fix when I was doing repairs (just up to last year). Chances are you've got a hardware prob, perhaps some bad RAM.
Wait till you call their tech support, even if you know the exact nature of the problem they'll still run you through their god-awful service flowchart of hell. A friend of mine has spent 5 months trying to get his new Dell to work, and I know it's a blown CPU but they won't send him a new one, so far they've replaced his RAM, his hard drive and his video card. Supposedly next on the flowchart would be the CPU but now they have to send out their own on site guy to look it over. What a joke.
