has an Inspiron 1100 that has just recently given him some
problems. The notebook works just fine, except whenever he moves
the LCD forward, the screen goes black and it looks as if the
system locks up. This happens at any time the computer is on,
even from the boot screen. Great to hear jaycrew. You'll
definitely see a noticable difference if you upgrade the RAM
especially since the video runs off shared memory. Try the
MediaDirect repair utility on Dell's website. It requires you to
burn a CD that you'll boot your computer from to run the repair.

Took a little to time to figure out all the right settings but i
think i got it right. Any way to get these processes down? Did I
not do it right? Well, I didn't look at what processes ran when
I did the clean install
