I almost sent my new laptop computer back to Dell.  It was taking 15 minutes to boot up, a disc was stuck in the drive, the hard drive light was on constantly, and it was super slow.  I was following the instructions from the Dell tech on how to re-image the system using the built-in recovery partition, but that wouldn’t even work.  So the tech was proceeding to send me a shipping box.  Just one more thing to try - press the optical drive eject while in the BIOS setup screen.  Viola.  Out pops my Nintendo Mario Kart Wii disk.  “Huh.  Been looking for that,” I thought.  It was surely inserted by one of my boys.  Probably Aaron.

There you have it.  Wii games cause Dell computers to go wonky.
