  These days it would be closed to chance especially when watching Youtube videos. I've recently updated my driver video so cancelled yesterday. This morning when I woke up, it was off, I let it run all the time so I knew that he was stopped again. I hit the power button, the power came a few seconds then turns off back. I tried several times with the same result. No beeps and I couldn't tell what were the diagnostic lights that you see in the video. I hit the power supply test button on the back and the LED is green indicating no power problem. I removed the RAM and just put 2 DIMM back in, tried a different video card. Removed the Firewire card. Removed the second CPU, swapped the second processor in place of the first. Reset the CMOS. I tried to unplug the hard drives, diskettes and optical. I monitor the temperatures of the last two days, inactive to 39 processors, but never greater than about 52C, the video card is idling to 36 c and will enter in the 1960s during the comparative analysis, but remains in the 1940s with regular use. I don't know what else to do. Here is a video of what he does.

  As soon as the optical drive ejects, power supply is fine. Motherboard seems to be defective.
  Unfortunately there is no way we can stop losing windows. Installation of OEM disks do not have a product key during installation.

• Dell Dimension 9150 will not start, turns 2, 3

  Hi all

  I moved to Italy and handed the dip switch at the rear of the server to 230v.  The computer starts beeping sound and light indication of storage 3 and 4 is stable.   The monitor does not work and I get a warning on the screen there is no signal.  I hope someone can shed some light?  I'm not a computer guru, but I can try to work the steps to make it work because there a lot of personal things in what I would like to have access.   Thank you

  Well speak of the devil, I moved the Ram in slot 1, since it was not positioned in slot 1, but 4 and now the dell is starting up and works FINE... which is great!  I am a woman with a bit of left brain!

  If the computer can boot in any mode, then I suggest that you perform the clean boot procedure and check if it helps.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Dell Inspiron 17R will not start

  Hey,.

  My Dell Inspiron 17R laptop 5720 was working fine until today, she won't start now. I had a virus, but Avira seemed to clean it properly, so I thought everything is ok now, but after restarting my laptop I didn't even have the "Dell" screen more. I've been Googling this topic for hours, but no one seems to have this kind of problem. Most of the users get stuck after the POST screen, but I don't yet get there. I just press the power button and that's it - laptop starts, but doesn't show anything. 1 out of 10 times, I managed to start and it works perfectly, even restart Windows it works then, but once disable us it probably will start again for the next 7-8 attempts.

  Things I've tried:

  -Remove the battery, hold the power button / stop for 60 seconds

  -In the course of running Dell Diagnostics (regular and thorough mode) test - it detects no error

  -Commissioning with or without battery

  -Flashing of BIOS (A14)

  -Reinstalling Windows, even tried Linux

  -Remove the strips of memory, trying to start with one stick (I had 2 x 4 GB) - will not change anything

  It looks like a problem that does occur from time to time. It is a hardware or a software problem? Is there anything else I should try before sending it for repair?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi randomthings,

  I appreciate for all stages of misjudged shootings.

  I recommend you to disconnect all external devices. Turn on the system and check if there are codes of beeps at startup.

  Given that the system turns after several attempts, it may be due to poor nutrition or inadequate food, bad drive HARD or other hardware problem.

  A poor, distressed or inadequate diet is often the cause of this problem. If the hard disk does not have enough power during the first time the computer starts, it will not be able to spin the platters of hard drive fast enough to start the computer. However, if you restart the computer, two, three, or four times, because the platters spin already, he is able to get the drive to speed and able to boot from the disc. Try with an AC adapter / CC known good and control; If the problem continues, I suspect it is a HDD failure.

  Please, remove the HARD drive and turn on the system and check the status.

  Please find the manual for Inspiron 5720 in the following link:

• New Dell XPS 8900 will not find any Bluetooth devices

  I have a new office of 8900 Del XPS who search but never find my bluetooth devices. Seems very well in Manager devices, but just keep looking. Did not work out of the box.  10 preinstalled, Windows

  Any ideas, driver issues?

  I solved - updated the driver in Device Manager and it immediately starts to work. So, just because it is new out of the box, does not make perfect!

• Dell XPS-8900 does not start

  Worked well to date, 01/01/2016 - Happy New Year, NO!

  Change power cable, use a different outlet (other items such as router and network printer can very well). Computer still does not start.

  When I plug it in the computer power light turns on light and then turns off (this seemed normal before). So if I push the power button computer does not start.

  I don't seem to get an orange light sequence of 2-1 after trying to turn it on - and continues. Maybe some sort of signal POST?

  I can turn the computer (not my first choice) after our journey ahead. But I'd rather get it upward and now running. Have work to do.

  Phil

  More information. I had four USB3 external drives attached, whose two propulsion and two disks Seagate Wireless - which is recharged through its USB port.

  Removing only the second Seagate drive allows the machine starts. So the question can be too much of a drain on the USB card current.

  Once started, the system seems to work very well with that wireless Seagate drive attached, and it restarts with it attached - just not boot from a condition of Shut Down.

  Not sure really, I understand that, but I can live with that.

  If someone seems something more insidious in this behavior, please notify; bought the XPS-8900 at COSTCO and still about 55 days return if it is defective!

• L50 satellite will not start up - request password HARD drive

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 and when I start it, it says
  + no boot device please don't restart System.

  It is still under warranty because it was purchased only 6 months ago.
  I took it back where I bought it and they told me to contact Toshiba.

  I'm waiting on a reminder.
  I hope that someone can help you. He also asked that the HARD drive password.

  Where can I find this information?

  Hi Kym

  I guess the L50 Satellite cannot find the boot device (HARD drive), because the HARD drive was obtained with a drive password HARD and without this HARD isn't accessible disk password and the system does not start properly.

  Did you set this password for HARD drive in the past?
  I m request because this isn t password on new laptops. This HARD drive password can only be set by the owner of the laptop

  Of my knowledge if you know n t this HARD drive password, you will not be able to access the HARD disk in such a case, the HARD drive would be useless, and the data would be lost

  That's why I recommend you check if someone put the HARD drive on your laptop password where you n t know the password, you will need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the system once more.

• Computer Dell with Vista will not start

  I turn on my dell desktop computer on and it appears on the screen that has DELL, intel inside, etc.  It will go no further than that.  Previously it had been an error in kerent (?).  Then updated windows and had to restart.  When it restarted, I got a message that he was missing something - something NT initials.  What happened and what can I do about it?

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.

• Dell Inspiron 17 - will not start - get hard disk clicking noise

  I am able to boot up the laptop to the BIOS (F2) and the laptop passes all diagnostics - I upgraded from Windows 8 to 10 Windows about 6 months ago and everything has been great to work - no problem at all.  Then a month ago started the problem of loud noise clicking.

  Here is my problem laptop > I start pressing the power on button - I can hear the fan start - power and the drive light - but one or two seconds later, the drive LED turns off and it's the disk hard clicking noise starts.  I have to then press and hold the power button until the laptop stops.  I can hear the stop of the fan and Park disk heads - then all the lights will turn off.  Then I have to start this process all over again [sometimes more than 8 to 10 times] until the laptop finally gets up and allows me to connect.

  Nobody knows what will fix this problem?

  Hi FAYEDC,

  Please write to the Dell Community Forum.

  Please try to run Dell diagnostics onboard and capture messages or error codes.

  If we can verify with another hard drive?

  Please private message us the serial number of the system as well as your login email.

• Windows VISTA Home Prem on DELL Inspiron 1521 will not start

  Read the message below. It has been copied from another thread and the poster has been informed to start a new thread with his question. What is ironic, is that I have exactly the same problem on my Dell.

  After downloading some updates to Vista my Dell desktop computer restarted and tried to load step 3 updates, it moves very quickly from 0% to 100% and then restarts, only to go back into the same loop of trying to set up step 3 and restart.

  I tried the following, starting in safe mode, same results updates are trying to configure.

  Auto repair, I am told by a message, it cannot be repaired.

  System Restore, I have only 2 system shown to restore points and they are at the time of the upgrade, if I try these points to restore I get an error message.

  I tried to reboot from the original installation provided CD but all I get is 'windows is copying files', then a black screen.

  I tried the boot iso but neosoft option again to the message windows is to copy the files, and then the black screen.

  I'm in thr stage where I can not think of anything else other that to go to a data recovery specialist, to recover the files most important (have over 200 GB of various things on the hard disk) and then reset to factory settings and load data and try and find the sources of all the programs that I had. It looks like an enormous task and it is the main computer for my business. If a kind soul has suggestions as to how I can get this situation somehow, I would be eternally grateful.

  Thanks in advance

  I'm fairly warned to get to a point to get my data before a complete reconstruction, however, I give that easy. Anyone else having this problem. I'd really like to find a way to solve.

• Dell XPS 8500 does not start after the interruption of system restore

  It was one thing to do, but I turned off my PC during the restoration of the system because he took time to complete the process.  The next day I couldn't boot into windows.  I tried the automatic repair feature, but it does not work.  I tried to repair windows using the orignal installation disk, but it does not work.  I tried to install Windows 8 all over again, but I got an error message - media pilot is missing.  I opened the box uninstall the RAM, videocard unplugged and both drives and reinstall, but without success.  I noticed that there is an orange/orange light on the motherboard.  I thought it was the hard drive at the beginning, but now I hope that this is not the motherboard.  Any help will be appreciated.

  You have damaged the image beyond repair.  You need to reinstall from scratch.  Windows to say that an optical drive driver is missing, bad copy of DVD-RW, DVD + R or DVD - R media that was not burned at 1 X 2 X or 4 X, so is not readable.  This is why USB Flash Drive 16 GB or more is recommended rather than the DVD player to the installation media.

  Why doesn't my CD or DVD drive?

  This problem occurs for the following reasons:

  A bad quality DVD has been used to create the installation DVD.
  The speed at which the installation DVD is burnt was too fast.
  The DVD drive cannot read media.
  The ISO file is corrupted.
