the following is nothing but ranting cause im pissed:

so, around 11:30 last night my inspiron E1705 gave me a blue screen saying it has shut down to prevent damage. I try to restart, and the screen has all kinds of weird colored lines on the loading screens. But...the screen where i would select my user name and enter my password never comes... tried a system restore, did nothing, ran diagnostics, did nothing...dell support is sending me a cd to reinstall XP which hopefully gets here tomorrow. at least its still under warranty, but this fucking sucks.
