The Vostro 1700 looks to be a 2007 era 17" C2D laptop. Not much info to go on in your message. You say it boots; how do you know? What OS? Latest firmware? Can you SSH to it when the OS comes up? Can it successfully drive an external screen? Have you opened it up and checked its CPU and GPU fans are clean, unobstructed, spin and it's not overheating? -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lproven(a)cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lproven(a)gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
