Our office ordered several Dell Precision 470's with Seagate Hard Drive's. Most of them crashed. I'm wondering: Did Dell make a faulty batch of computer's? I'm not understanding why so many of the computer's we have ordered would crash. Any feedback you would have would be great, thanks!

Please explain crash...did the hdd's fail and need replacing, or is it a software issue, and a reimage fixed the issue. Was there a blue screen, a noise? computers froze and stopped responding? did the drives fail seatools diags from seagate?
