Light Pattern Problem Description
A possible expansion card failure
has occurred.
Another failure has occurred.
The computer is in a normal
operating condition after POST.
Suggested Resolution
1
Determine if a conflict exists by removing
a card (not a graphics card) (see page 67)
and restarting the computer.
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
page 49).
4
If the problem persists, contact Dell (see
page 108).
• Ensure that the cables are properly
connected to the system board from the
hard drive, CD drive, and DVD drive (see
page 62).
• 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
page 105) to make sure the boot sequence
is correct for the devices installed on your
computer.
• If the problem persists, contact Dell (see
page 118).
