This happened to me twice in a two week span a couple of months ago. One thing I noticed, just before it happened, was a prompt for me to reformat the CF card that I had in the slot. I was keeping the card in the slot at all times. I had encountered this message quite frequently, usually after I accessed something on the card and then done a soft reset. I had installed a game on the PDA, and due to the size of the game had installed directly to the CF card. After plaing the game one day, my Dell locked up, I did a soft reset, and instead of coming to the normal screen, it performed a hard reset. My last backup had been done about 9 months earlier. After restoring everything, about a week later I received the same problem. Luckily I had done a backup after the first incident. I've since removed the card, and have not had any issues since then. The card itself was a SanDisk 64MB card that came free with my Axim when I ordered it a year ago. I'm guessing, due to process of elimination, that the fault had something to do with the card itself.
