Using Support Tools

No boot device available — No bootable partition on hard disk drive, the hard disk 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 at support.dell.com/manuals).

No timer tick interrupt — A chip on the system board might be malfunctioning or motherboard failure. Contact Dell for assistance (see “Contacting Dell” on page 61).

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.
