Well I tried unplugging the SATA HDD and replugging it in (I couldn't get to what I think is the MSATA drive) and it has not helped. In fact the problem is becoming more and more constant (i've attached another screenshot) . This is just about 10 minutes after re-powering after 're-seating' the HDD and without loading up any apps/programs other than Chrome. So I don't know what is going on and I haven't had any luck getting to a warranty...Very disheartening I must admit. What began as more of a mild inconvenience and technological curiosity is starting to impede my 'computing' and it's very, VERY frustrating/discouraging that I won't have the Dell warranty...which is one of the main reasons that I felt so confident buying the machine 'second-hand'...*sigh*
