I received my X back yesterday. Sony said they could not find anything wrong. I figured they wouldn’t since you have to practically have a dead pc for anyone to notice anything.  So…I still have my warranty and they said they would replace the hard drive if it does fail ....so I’m content, but not happy.  I am glad I got it back early before my trip to DC tomorrow. 

Thanks all for the input and I will keep posting…

...(thinking) hmmm where are those pics of my setup…
