Solving Problems

If the power light is solid white and the computer is not responding — The display may not be responding. Press the power button until the computer turns off and then turn it back on.

If the power light is blinking white — The computer is in standby mode. Move the pointer using the connected mouse or press the power button to resume normal operation.

If you encounter interference that hinders reception on your computer — An unwanted signal is creating interference by interrupting or blocking other signals. Some possible causes of interference are:

Power, keyboard, and mouse extension cables.

Too many devices connected to a power strip.

Multiple power strips connected to the same electrical outlet.

Memory Problems

If you receive an insufficient memory message —

Save and close any open files and exit any open programs you are not using to see if that resolves the problem.

See the software documentation for minimum memory requirements. If necessary, install additional memory (see the Service Manual on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com).

Reseat the memory modules (see the Service Manual on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com) to ensure that your computer is successfully communicating with the memory.
