Advanced Troubleshooting 37
A possible expansion card failure has
occurred.
1
Determine if a conflict exists by
removing a card (not a graphics card)
and restarting the computer (see
page58).
2
If the problem persists, reinstall the
card that you removed, remove a
different card, and then restart the
computer.
3
Repeat this process for each card. If
the computer starts normally,
troubleshoot the last card removed
from the computer for resource
conflicts (see "Resolving Software and
Hardware Incompatibilities" on
page46).
4
If the problem persists, contact Dell
(see page94).
Another failure has occurred.
• Ensure that the cables are properly
connected to the system board from
the hard drive, CD drive, and DVD
drive (see page54).
• If there is an error message on your
screen identifying a problem with a
device (such as the floppy drive or
hard drive), check the device to make
sure it is functioning properly.
• The operating system is attempting to
boot from a device (such as the floppy
drive or hard drive); check system
setup (see page82) to make sure that
the boot sequence is correct for the
devices installed on your computer.
• If the problem persists, contact Dell
(see page94).
