Voltage Probe - Dell OpenManage

This is quite possibly the most aggressive warning message I've ever
seen from Dell. I should probably uninstall the Dell OM software, but
before I do I'll cross-post and make some calls.

Dell Precision
Windows XP SP2

Warning Event Notification:
"A voltage probe has exceeded a non-critical threshold. Contact your
Help Desk or Dell Technical Support for further assistance."

Although the error is "non-critical" the message returns within 60
seconds of closing. This computer is running the Dell OpenManage
Client Connector. It's an out of warrantee PC but still very useful;
I'd rather run without the Dell software then to see warnings that I
can't diagnose. What voltage probe? Any ideas?

I never understood how Precisions were classified. I used to call Dell
Tech Support and go through the Server group, but then I'd be separated
into a group that was strictly Precisions. The last few times I called
I thought I went into a Desktop group, rather than a Precision group.
If you want to call a Precision a "Server" then go ahead. I just think
of the Precision as an advanced desktop.

OpenManage is another story. They only provide OpenManage support for
certain lines of computers including Precision. If that's all it
takes, then call it a server.

Out of warranty Server rather than just a PC
