***UPDATE*** Actually, I had called Dell Tech Support who told me this was a fried graphics card, but because the graphics card and motherboard are all integrated this laptop was sent back to Dell for replacement. To top it all off… this exact same problem happened AGAIN a couple months later. I ditched the Dell and went with a custom built desktop. Personally, I’ll never buy a Dell again as this is the second Dell laptop I’ve bought and had major issues with.
