A possible graphics card failure has
occurred.
• If the computer has a graphics card,
remove the card, reinstall it (see
page58), and then restart the
computer.
• If the problem still exists, install a
graphics card that you know works and
restart the computer.
• If the problem persists or the
computer has integrated graphics,
contact Dell (see page94).
A possible floppy or hard drive failure
has occurred.
Reseat all power and data cables and
restart the computer.

you are installing are compatible with
your computer (see page55).
