Dell Inspiron 6400 - Incorrect Startup/Boot Fan Noise

Problem: Dell Inspiron 6400 about 6 months old would only start up correctly about %50 of the time when temperature was below about 15 deg c. The fan would make a massive noise and the computer would run really slowly.

Solution: Upgrade your BIOS with the latest from http://www.dell.com.au.

Background: I had to contact dell support about this issue, and surprisingly I got a very quick response with the solution. Funny how there wasn't a post on the dell website saying what the problem was (well not that i could find anyway)
