Suggested Resolution
1
Determine if a conflict exists by removing
a card (not the video card) and then
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" in your
User's Guide).
4
If the problem persists, contact Dell.
Reinstall the graphics card and restart the
computer.
If the problem still exists, install a graphics
card that you know works and restart the
computer.
If the problem persists, contact Dell.
Check all power and data cable connections,
and then restart the computer.
Reinstall all USB devices, check cable
connections, and then restart the computer.
