However, after putting in the XP disk and starting up the computer I am not getting the hit any key to reboot from cd message I expected. (from what I've been reading maybe this is because XP was preinstalled) in any case I can hit F4 or F12 and am given options, but don't know the right way to reboot from here.

Aug 14, 2009Dell Dimension 8400 freezes several times a day when I'm surfing the net. I'm using Windows XP, Media Center Edition, 512 MB of Ram. The only thing to do when this happens is to turn off the power and restart. I stopped using Internet Explorer and switched to Firefox after this started happening with similar performance with both browsers. Used Spybot S&D and found some problems, however the freezing continues.

Mar 22, 2008My Dell Dimension 5000 (Win XP Home) which has worked fine for 2 yrs now starts in standby mode 90% of the time. Pressing and holding the on/off button only shuts it down. The box never starts to power up - I just get the on/off button flashing orange. If it does start up (after trying 20 times) it works perfectly. I've replaced the internal battery, disk space and memory are good, isolated the power supply, disabled Standby and Hibernate in Control Panel and BIOS. Regularly virus and malware checked, disk defragged etc. No new h/w installed.

Feb 3, 2010I just installed a new hard drive on my computer, it is a dell dimension E521, it had windows vista os on it, this was installed on the pc when I bought it ,after putting my new hard drive in I didn't have a recovery disk with windows vista but I did have an xp cd from my laptop so I've used it. The windows xp installed just fine on my pc but the problem I've run into is the drivers, the disk that came with it wouldn't work so I went to dell's website put in my service tag and downloaded all the drivers that it says my pc needs. everything installed ok except for my broadcom, which is not allowing internet, my warranty on this computer is out so I can't get any advise from them without paying a fee even though I bought the hard drive from them, and the computer! Just hoping I could get some help, and wondering if I have to install vista for everything to work right.

Feb 5, 2007I've been trying to bring my husband's older Dell 8100 P4 desktop back to life. It was an old ME system initially. I've done the following:Replaced the motherboard and ide cables New CMOS battery Flashed BIOS Replaced and upgraded the memory Reformatted the harddrive (using another system) and loaded Win XP Pro I've used this same harddrive (with XP Pro) sucessfully on another Dell so I know there is nothing wrong with the boot files. But when I install it in the broke Dell...no joy.
It hangs in the "Windows can not start normally" pick Safe Mode, Last Known Good Config...etc loop. None of the options work and it flashes a quick BSOD dump error (too fast for me to see) and then back through the loop.The BIOS recognizes all the drives, the memory, processor, etc.I also tried to boot with alot of the extra hardware removed (removed NIC, sound card, modem, un-hooked optical drives, etc) --- still same no-boot loop.

Apr 6, 2007I downloaded some windows updates but not all of them installed. When I go to Turn Off Computer, the "Turn Off" button has changed, indicating that when I hit it, it will install the updates. There's also a field I can click which will Turn Off without installing the updates. When I click the Turn Off buttion, it attempts to install two updates. It doesn't appear to be successful. Every time I Turn Off Computer it apparently tries to install the same two updates. I can reboot and do this over and over and they don't "take".There's nothing in Event Viewer to indicate what's going on. I couldn't find any installation logs though I'm not sure where to look.

Jan 13, 2009Okay so I usually leave my computer on all the time. I went to bed and when I got up it was off and couldn't get it to turn on. So I assumed it might be the power supply so I went and bought a new one from stamples. He turned on for maybe 5 seconds then turned off. so I took it back thinking maybe I didn't have enough watts. The higher watts didn't doanything. I am lost without my computer can anyone help? I have Win XP..Could it be the fan? Even though the fan worked when i plugged in first PS...Second didnt do anything. Could it be something to do with motherboard?

We looked all over google and the Dell site and can't seem to find out how to do a clean install. We pressed F12 and tried to boot from the CD-ROM and thought it was going to work, but it said that we were trying to install XP on a partition that already had XP on it. I saw no option for full/clean restore.

View 6 Replies View RelatedTurn VGA Back On
Mar 31, 2006Had to reinstall Windows XP. It appears there are issues with SP2 involving the video graphics card and the sound. Now I'm stuck. I thought that if I chose "do not use this device" under "Device usage" on the display adaptor tab, that it would pick the right adaptor.
Anyway, my screen went blank and I tried to reboot in safe mode and it sticks at mup.sys. I disabled mup and it now sticks at "nid" something or other.
I use "Windows Narrator" to try and reenable the adaptor but I think the reinstall or the SP2 killed my sound.
Is there a way to reenable VGA adaptor from the command prompt in recovery mode?

Sep 5, 2008Once again the computer impaired one comes to the table of knowledge.I shut down my PC, fans stop, lights go out. About 6-8 mins later it starts up again, been doing this for four days now. I ran a virus scan which came out clean. The only way to keep it turned off is to unplug it. The only tinkering I've done lately is to try to open a port on my router which I didn't get done, forgot password and reset button doesn't work. I don't think my PC is set to hibernate, I have never used that feature.

View 8 Replies View RelatedDual Monitors -- Can't Turn Off HELP!!
May 11, 2004I have a Dell Lattitude C840 laptop with an Nvidia video card installed by
Dell.
Whenever I plug into a LCD projector and activate my external monitor the
dual monitor feature comes on and I cannot disable it.
Some times I want to run dual monitor with the laptop (such as for
lectures), however, sometimes I want what appears on the laptop screen to be
the same as on the projected image.
I have tried going into the Display Properties and Settings to disable the
second monitor and when I do all that happens is that I go back to only
seeing my laptop's monitor and nothing on the projector. When I activate
the external monitor the dual monitor feature kicks on again.
It never used to do this and I am not sure what changed on my system.
suggestions?
