    Help please: random reboot problem with new E6600 build

    I updated the BIOS from 1004 to the latest 1101 which didn't help. I've systematically replaced pretty much all the components and the CPU is the only thing left at this time.

    Help please: random reboot problem with new E6600 build

    I'll have to rip up everything to get to the CPU before calling Intel because they want all the numbers on it for the RMA. Probably another week before any update on this saga.

    Help please: random reboot problem with new E6600 build

    RAM: tried moving to different slots, tried one stick at a time, ran MemTest for 8 hours with no error. Installed a different pair of Kingston RAM and still got random reboot. So I ruled out my G.Skill as the problem.

    I notice Firefox is doing this to other websites as well in a random manner. Take eBay for instance. I can see the favicon in the address bar and the tab but not in the bookmark toolbar.

    Is %35 off Inspiron 6000 HOT or WARM?

    There's a coupon right now for %35 off $1399 or more on the new Inspiron 6000. I'm not in a hurry to get a laptop - sometime this year is OK. Should I jump on this or hold out for a better deal? Can it get any better than %35? Thanks.

    Question regarding rebates

    Keep in mind you can't send an envelope first class and have delivery confirmation. It has to be a "parcel" - at least 3/4" thick. Using an envelope and certified mail with online return receipt will cost you close to $4.

    Can I 'unactivate' Frontpage 2003 and sell it to someone else?

    I made the mistake of buying a copy of MS Frontpage 2003 for some web page editing. I installed it and activated it via the internet. It's not meeting my needs (...cough, cough, ...Dreamweaver MX, cough, cough...) so I want to sell it. Can I somehow 'unactivate' it and make its license available...
