[SATLUG] (OT:Hardware) Dell Hardware Problems

[Shawn Bender]

I disagree..
Per his email it dosent matter what the system is doing it will reboot in 
about 5 min.
If the fax is running, then I would look at swapping out the memory, and 
try removing the wireless card if one is installed.
Also can you please remove the HD and boot from a live cd and tell us what 
happens?

Thank you for your time,

Then, I would try to restore the operating system after backing up the 
hard
drive to an external harddrive using a program such as Symantec Ghost. If
the operating system is messed up, then restore should fix the problem. 
This
would be a first step before spending money at a shop to diagnose and fix
the problem.
