Just received my brand new Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows 8.1. As directed by the "less than adequate" instructions (instruction 1), I plugged in the power cable and switched on the power button. IMMEDIATELY, I was met with a screen that looked like something had crashed into my monitor's screen, with most of the 'visual' being in the right upper 1/4 of the screen. Never seen anything like it. The screen remained and the computer did not even start to boot up. I gave it a hard shutdown and restarted and the same thing. I tried several more times and to no avail - same screen with not activity to boot up. Can anyone help me with any kind of explanation for this. I am thinking 'DEFECTIVE' Computer??? Any advice would be kindly appreciated.
