• Dell Dimension E521 starts and stops on its own at random times... a lot of attempts to repair/restore without success! What's next!

  Well, it's a bit of a long story, so I'll try to make it as short and easy as possible.

  My grandmother had the Dell Dimension E521 for some time in December of ' 06.  She had filled the C: drive with a bunch of junk and mandated the bureau with many useless shortcuts.  Later in November 10, she told me he had begun to stop and start on his own time at random, so I tried to do what I could with antivirus scan (AVG Free Edition), remove applications and unnecessary programs and try to demand for system recovery short.  While that makes the computer run faster, it still started and closed on itself.  His house has only the dial-up connection (which is almost impossible to update anything), so I brought it to my house for the best connection around 01/01/11 (9 days ago).

  I could update the AVG Free Edition and Windows updates, and it found and cleared, a Trojan Virus.  The Dell still started and shut down on its own.  My next step was to use the disc re - install for Vista Home Basic 32-bit.  He old programs saved in a folder "Windows.old" on the C: drive and completely re-installed everything back to the original.  After I checked in the "Windows.old" folder and recorded something she didn't lose (such as images and videos), I deleted as much as I could out of it.  The only thing I could not remove from it was 4 'driver files '.  For a while the computer trying to run 'chkdsk' on its own seizure began, but froze in the middle of it.  He finally ended the 'chkdsk' once and didn't try again since.  It downloaded and installed updates Windows of 100 or more on its own as well.

  After all, it still does the same thing he has with housing starts and shut downs.  The closure of downs occur not just in the middle of the execution of a given program; they occur at any time at random, even if I use the computer in safe mode.  She always goes through the whole stops the process with the "logging off" and "closing" legends, it is not as if the electric system is down.  The start-up occur randomly as well, even if a stop is purposely through the Start Menu or hold down the power button.  Sometimes, he's trying to start and shut down on its own several times without fully load.

  Again, sorry this is so long, but I would like to know if there is anything that can be done to get this thing to CUT IT OUT because my grandmother wants as his computer back!

• Dell Dimension 5150 do not start LED logo on 123 + progress bar is stuck at 5% no beeps

  My old Dell Dimension 5150 has sometimes suffered from crashes during startup for quite awhile, but it now appears permanent.

  The symptom is the logo dell appears, but the startup progress bar stops at 5%, diagnosis LED 1,2 & 3 are stable on, power light is green fixed, no beeps, no response to the keys.

  In the past disconnecting the cable for 5 minutes, which gives all the internal connectors a re-allocation of places, you try to start again seemed to do the trick, but no more.

  Any suggestions where to look?

  No such thing as PC2 4300 except for sellers who are less honest.

  PC2 4200 is too slow

  PC2 5300 5 5 5 12 works fine. Suppliers must match for speed and the CASE.

  Blockages can be feed if it isn't certified EPS12v PFC.

  Minimum recommended is CS750M Corsair.

  http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/dimension-5100/CT667636

  Supplies are not units of 12 v x watts.

  You need 150W on the 3.3v 5v Rails and 15-20w on the + 5VSB rail.

  RAM RAM may NOT BE ECC or buffered or Registerd HIGH density AMD.  Must be LOW DENSITY INTEL Compatible ram.

  RAM cannot BE QUADRI ROWS can operate 2R and 1R, but you can NOT MIX the ranks.  They must all be single or dual rank.

• Dell Dimension does not start in Vista after upgrade

  A friend had a Dell Dimension E521 that won't start - has the missing file system\hal.dll.

  As there was nothing on this computer, he needed, I rebuilt it install a new copy of Windows XP, used the upgrade disc closed for upgrade to Vista and ensured everything in its original package has been installed. Let him install the Windows updates at night and in the morning, after a reboot it indicated that there is an update available. I've updated that and restarted and he said there are only four more updates that memory on the video card. I've updated those, but now it does not start at the top.

  I'm going through the boot process, but as soon as it is the screen black with the Microsoft Corporation and the (green?) bar he starts moving forward a very small amount, and then restarts. It comes up with the selection of Windows startup screen and I tried the secure boot and last good Configuration known without result.

  I tried the original XP disc to do a repair, but this doesn't seem to work with Vista?

  How can I recover a work computer or do I have to reinstall again?

  Thanks for any help, that all the world can offer.

  If you have installed Windows Vista good the first time that the hard drive should be fine however I would suggest running the Dell diagnostics just to be safe. To do this follow the instructions on page 405 of this document and perform extensive tests.

• Dell Dimension C521 does not start

  I have a Dell Dimension C521 desktop computer. When I try to start it, the fan turns on and is really hard, but the screen does not light. The power light on my computer lights up (green), but the 3 & 4 diagnostic lights flash repeatedly on the front of the computer. What is the cause? What can I do about it?

  NetFanatic123

  Hello Bev,

  The rest green power light on, no blinking, no beeps. I had no problem until last night after that I removed the hard drive and reinstalled.

  How can I remove the memory modules?

  Thanks :)

   

  NetFanatic123

  For the removal and reinstallation of the RAM, details are HERE NOTE from the ADMIN: broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

  A hint: make sure that the modules are filled into the slots and the clips are in the notches.

  While the case is open, check that all the power cable and the data are correctly connected to the drive and the motherboard, by removing and reconnecting them.

  Why the hard disk has been deleted and reinstalled, was this HD replacement, or what?

  Bev.

• Dell Dimension 2400 will not meet the key USB WIFI Netgear

  Dell Dimension 2400 Windows XP.

  Trying to get my old Dell back in action, but I ran into a problem. NO INTERNET.

  I have the WIFI in my house but I can't connect wirelessly with the desktop computer.

  I have a NetGear Wireless - N Dual Band, but dell WNDA3100 USB won't pick it up. The flash player is on, but it will not install the new software. It is said there was a problem and it probably won't work correctly.

  Any ideas? Thank you!

  first go to the device driver and uninstall everything dealing with netgear.

  also if it is listed in Add/Remove to uninstall and restart.

  https://www.Google.com/#q=NETGEAR+Wireless+n+dual+band+WNDA3100+USB+XP+installation+guide+and+software

  above is a search page with instructions for installing xp

  you have version 1 or 2?

  just a thought you have wireless zero config service started/automatic services?

  After all your updates should be installed which will disable the autorun, so that when you insert a usb key, nothing will happen until you go to my computer and click on the device to open it, this was done so that you would have a chance to scan a usb usb being one of the fastest ways to spread a virus If she had previously plugged into an infected pc.

• How can I add an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300

  I installed an extra internal hard drive to my dell dimension 8300. He only appears in "Device Manager" and shows to work but he does not appear in 'my computer' and has not assigned a drive letter. It's a western digital 1200js-22mhbo. My drive root 'C' is also a wd1200jd from western digital. Can someone tell me what I do to get it to show up with a drive letter, and I have to format it? Also, there is a way to format so I can install programs on it as my "C" drive or I just will be only able to use it as extra storage? Thanks a lot for your help!
