The PC was running very slowly here this morning, I thought it was the snow thing hehe.

I then got this BSOD, then rebooted got 'little or no connectivity' error on my modem so rebooted both now I get this black screen on reboot after it has identified all the HDDs and mentions the Marvell network adapter.

Not having any luck getting into safe mode - not sure what that would do.

Any ideas?

Marvell = wired network LAN normally (Well, on my advent it is anyway)

Normal trick in sorting the drivers, would be first port of call, but best thing to do, is burn off a copy of hiren's Boot CD I sent you the other day, and boot into mini xp, then disable everything with the marvel name to it, reboot, then install the drivers from here: Marvell: Consumer Driver Search

Arrgh, had that BSOD myself on this, the computer was going Clunk-click-clunk-click, and it kept appearing. Hard drive had gone, in the end after one instance it self partitioned I believe and we lost one of the .dll files that helped start it up...therefore COB(computer or bust) was BUST
After several calls to Dell's shit-of-the-shit aftersales team(DO NOT fork out extra for this!) We got a new hard drive from calling an outside computer repairman and it's still working well now

Get an Alienware, I believe there's a couple of posts about them on FF.

Heh, looks like Geddy has finally sorted the BSOD issue, after turning off the on-board lan, boot to OS, install new drivers, re-enable lan, boot to OS.
