Advanced Troubleshooting

57

A possible expansion card failure has occurred.

1

Determine if a conflict exists by removing a
card (not a graphics card) and restarting the
computer (see "Removing PCI and PCI
Express Cards" on page 89).

2

If the problem persists, reinstall the card that
you removed, remove a different card, and
then restart the computer.

3

Repeat this process for each card. If the
computer starts normally, troubleshoot the
last card removed from the computer for
resource conflicts (see "Resolving Software
and Hardware Incompatibilities" on
page 64).

4

If the problem persists, contact Dell (see
"Contacting Dell" on page 142).

Another failure has occurred.

• Ensure that the cables are properly

connected to the system board from the hard
drive, CD drive, and DVD drive (see "System
Board Components" on page 78).

• If there is an error message on your screen

identifying a problem with a device (such as
the floppy drive or hard drive), check the
device to make sure it is functioning properly.

from a device (such as the floppy drive or
hard drive); check system setup (see "System
Setup" on page 131) to mak
e sure the boot
sequence is correct for the devices installed
on your computer.

• If the problem persists, contact Dell (see

"Contacting Dell" on page 142).

condition after POST.
