Using Support Tools

No boot device available — No bootable

partition on hard drive, the hard drive cable is

loose, or no bootable device exists.

If the hard drive is your boot device, ensure

that the cables are connected and that the

drive is installed properly and partitioned as

a boot device.
Enter system setup and ensure that the boot

sequence information is correct (see the Dell

Technology Guide on your hard drive or at
support.dell.com/manuals).

No timer tick interrupt — A chip on the system

board might be malfunctioning or there might

be a system board failure. Contact Dell (see

“Contacting Dell” on page 73).

USB over current error — Disconnect the USB

device. Your USB device needs more power for

it to function properly. Use an external power

source to connect the USB device, or if your

device has two USB cables, connect both

of them.
