Is it the hard drive dying or software issues?
dell inspiron 1525 windows vista, tried to perform factory restore but f11 doesn't work, just loads forever then I get a blue screen stating that it had to terminate. ran diagnostic and got error 2000-0412. reinstalling by cd only brought up desktop and internet works but all my programs cannot run. unknown internal error on everything, including windows search, help, and 'find solutions', other programs such as microsoft office, itunes and adobe all get the internal error message and will not run. I need my office, i have papers to due for school so this is an emergency. I need these programs working as soon as possible. I have already ran a registry cleaner, a virus and malware scan several times and it finds nothing. I have done uninstallations and reinstallations but nothing different. Will factory restore work and fix these errors? and if so, how do I do it since f11 doesn't work? keeping it in mind the cd installation didn't work the first time and wouldn't like to try it again. Is this even a windows problem or is this my hard drive dying? safe mode doesn't load either. the windows cd is clean, never opened.
Cant access bios options for anything.?
The most common causes of this - 1. The computer input/output system (BIOS) does not detect the hard disk drive. (check the cables, too) 2. The hard disk is damaged or corrupted (most likely corrupted - did you make partitions or something? But it could have failed in some way. That's pretty rare these days, especially with a Dell. But it can still happen. 3. Master Boot Record (MBR) on hard drive is broken. Note that some third-party programs or disk operations can damage an MBR 4. An incompatible partition is marked as Active. 5. A partition that contains the MBR is no longer active. You could try the motherboard manufacturer, Dell,or Microsoft (But you say that you have 'searched and searched' so that was surely the first places you went for help, right?) http://support.microsoft.com/ Have a look at what came on the motherboard disk. The most common way into the bios setup is to keep pressing the del key (or F12) continuously as soon as the machine is switched on. Don't wait, just start hammering it as soon as the machine is switched on. (You could also try pressing the F8 key instead. On the splash screen, try safe mode. or 'last known good configuration'.) The easiest way to fix a computer is to have an engineer sitting in front of it. If it's new, it's under warranty. You could take it to the service agent. It's pretty rare these days, but sometimes things may go wrong. Dell are good people With a new computer, the first thing you should have done was make your backups, including an image of the C Drive, and a bootable windows recovery CD. This advice is so common. And it's easy to do. Failure to perform this basic step is a ID/10/T error (= idiot) http://www.reviversoft.com/blog/2012/08/... http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/window... http://www.wondershare.com/fix-computer/fix-system-not-found.html Other very good sites are ask leo, or bleeping computer. Trying to download and install a mass of windows updates at once, is a mistake many make with a new computer. Be selective and download one at a time at first, and then in batches, with a restart and check it out between each) 3 things that never fixed anything are - being angry, rude, or sarcastic (though personally I always keep a hammer and some whiskey in the drawer of my computer desk - just in case)
I am looking to buy a new desktop computer I came across a quick and nice looking Dell "New OptiPlex 7040 Tower". And I need a "2nd" opinion?
I have been looking for a new computer lately, and I came across this computer made by Dell. I heard that Dell has awful customer service, but their computers are pretty good. I just wanted to know if i should "invest" around $1800 for a new computer. I need this computer for school, and I would use it for very light "gaming." The specs I've selected are as shown below.

What can we learn from Nokia's failure?
Nokia failed not because it wasn’t competitive but because it got comfortable with the market. When new competition were entering the market Nokia did not take this to be an issue. The time Nokia got a wake up call it was too late to create something that would keep its market. Therefore, two lessons can be learned:Don’t get too comfortable with the little you have.Lack of innovation eventually exposed you to risk of failure.My advice is that, whether you are in business, school or just home, whatever you do, don’t get too comfortable with your present situation. Always be as creative and innovative as possible.
