Then that would/should tell you "stop" using hibernation! :-D I'm in the middle of doing a second install (of XP) in three days. :-( So I'm on my other (SLOW) computer on my website sending this. The three minute delay gives me enough light to get under the covers and get comfortable. :-) CRAZYDOVE@xxxxxxx writes:

Model(s) in question are the Dell GX270 Optiplex (all form factors) and less on the GX 280's. Symptoms were like the computer went into hibernating/powersave, you would have to restart; some would restart repeatedly; some would go black screen twice a day or once every two or three days. All would go to black screen. It was very frustrating troubleshooting each one until Dell admitted to a capacitor problem on mainboards manufactered before acertain date.
