Dell :: Inspiron 640m Won't Run ...

computer was working as good as new before this happens. I'm extremely careful when it comes to installing apps, hardware, etc. The day before this madness started my computer was working 90% equal to how I received it.

Now, here comes the story...

1.- A month and something ago, while playing Guitar Zero II, my PC ran out of battery. I turned the whole thing off - closed the game, shut WXP off, etc. And started to charge the battery - it was already 5am and I needed to go to work the day after.

2.- Three days after, I went to my laptop to check my email. The PC started fine, until I opened IE... a blue window popped up and then the PC shut off. "huh?" I said.. "this is wierd"... I try to start my pc and nothing. Power light, lock lights on for 2 seconds (no fan, no hdd, no CD, no nothing) and then the lights would turn off. I try to reboot my pc several times in various moments of the day, and nothing.

3.- Called Dell, and though my warranty was off, the guy from tech support guided me to remove both rams and hard drive (I knew how to get rams out but I didn't know where the HDD was). Once we finished with other tests the guy told me "sorry Sir, your motherboard is fried"

4.- A week ago I was about to press "submit" to a newly DELL pc (I'm starting B-school next week, so I needed a PC), and only because I was a little bit typsy, I got sentimental and said "meeeh, I might as well try it one more time". Took the laptop out of its bag, turn the damn thing on and VOILA! back to life!!!!!!!!!!! (?!?!?!) After this, it was obvious that motherboard wasn't burned - or anything within the PC for that matter. Desperate, I did defragmentations, CHKDSK, and restore WXP to a date in which I knew it was working (april or something) I worked on my computer for the rest of the day without any hickups.

5.- The following day I turn my laptop on again and it gave me a blue screen with the following msg "IRQL_not_less_equal" and died. I looked over the internet and found that one of the reasons could be that some hardware could be damaged, so I took every single part I knew how to take off (both rams, hdd, battery) and started testing. First I put only one ram. Nothing. I swapped the rams. Nothing. I left the "B" ram in the "A" slot. Nothing. "A" ram to "B" slot. Nothing. Took both rams out and installed Hdd. Nothing. Well.. at this point you can imagine i try to reseat and combine everything within my capabilitied.

6.- Today, I was about to buy a new computer again and the exact same thing happened. I know it sounds freaky (it seems that my moribund PC still has some feelings for me?
