Since you and spots seem to know what your talking about. See if you can help solve a problem Dell can't.

Dell XPS R400
P2 400
128 EEC Ram
10 gig Ultra HD (7200 rpm)
STB 8 meg video
NEC P1150 monitor

My add on:
Umax 1200s scanner
Comunicator 4.06
NU3.07
Quicktime 3

Every so often, usually on a warn boot, or sometimes just working away, I will get a "grey" screen. There is a click from the monitor and the screen goes all grey. The only way to solve it is to shut the system down. It is hard to say when the problem started, as I have only had the puter for 4 days.

Note:
There was a conflict with the scanner driver and the machine, that has been fixed.

Dell doesn't know what the (grey screen)problem is. I am tempted to do a clean install of everything as a last resort. Must be a conflict somewhere??

I remember I had a strange problem with a mother board years ago. It had a hail line crack in it, when the puter heated up, I would loose the use of "A" drive. Many Many hours to figure out the main board was to blame.

Any ideas guys?
