Hello Bran,I will give everything a try. I got the map, only thing it does not help. It goes Yellow, then stays green, HDD light lits for a moment or two then nothing. It has not given me the 3rd and 4th light in sequenced since I knew of the map and started watching. I dunno what happened in the past.
Thank you, Eric VogelComputer Running Slow? Need PC Help? http://www.beacontechnologysolutionsllc.com

Sounds like CPU or Memory, if you have any cards in any slots I would remove all cards and install one by one until the symptons appear , or just reseat all the cards. Their is a map to the 4 lights just do a google search. On 11/5/07, Hugh Vandervoort <hughva@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Most Dellls have diagnostic software to test the HD. I think it's F12 when you boot. Just run the IDE test, which tell you if you have a HD problem. On Nov 5, 2007 11:44 AM, Eric C.
