| Advice depends on how much work you want to do vs. how long you want to live without the machine. If it's still under warranty, Dell will undoubtedly be able to repair it for you, but they will most probably reimage it -- meaning that you will lose EVERYTHING on the machine, period. And, you will be without the use of it for as long as they take to fix it. that timeframe depends on your support agreement with them.
There are known problems where the windows update infostore gets corrupted and it can't perform anymore updates. I can look for that info, but it's going to be a fair amount of detailed, complicated work.
It might be easier to just back off your files and have Dell fix the machine.
Your call.
