Dell Blue-Screens, then takes off like a rocket when restarting!

This has happened many times - right in the middle of something the computer will blue-screen - and then when you push and hold in the button to turn it off, the fans rev up to full speed and it sound like a jet rocket before it finally shuts off. After restarting, it somehow works again (for a little while) You can't really tell in the video, but the fans get LOUD!

how do you restore a dell dimension 8110

Turn off computer. At boot, hold down CTRL and F11 and I think that will kick you into the recovery partition of the drive. if not, you may need a disk.

Try adding more RAM. I did this with a Dell Dimension 8400, and it solved a blue screen problem straight away -and of course it was faster after adding the ram!

Hope this helps.

That's correct. a few months ago I replaced one of the stock 256MB chips with a 1GB chip (for a total of 2.25GB) and it works better now. Still does bluescrren every once in a while, but the I think the ram that I took out was going bad, and thats what was causing it.

my dell has memory issues also. i get a lot of free dells and RIMM seems to fail most

It sounds like a plane taking off a runway! o_O If I heard that after a BSOD I would think my PC was about to blow up!? Sure my 5850 sounds like a vacuum cleaner at 100% fan speed but if I heard that i'd duck for cover! :P
