Issues with new Intel i7 quad-core processor.?

Try getting the latest drivers. If it still doesn't work, get the latest Bios from Dell. If that doesn't work, you probably have a hardware failure in the motherboard or something...but hey don't give up. Don't bother calling Dell customer services because they treat you like **** (past experience). I am going to check out your problem online and see if I find any solutions. If I do, I'll get back to you asap.
