Thanks for the different PoV Mike. I took the AMD driver out (even though we only need the Intel driver) and it seems like maybe that did it? I got distracted at the crucial part and wasn't able to see if it actually continued through and rebooted properly or Blue Screened... but it didn't take the extra 4 hours from before... TS is currently running like normal, but it did that before after the wait...
Mike, what BIOS were they running? I haven't had any issue with the free-fall sensor on ours. Our new ones have the A08 BIOS even though I can find no trace of A08 anywhere on the Dell website.
