Although your computer has usually an Intel Pentium 4 chip installed, your memory of 512MB is really the absolute minimum. Depending of your Operating System (WinXP or Vista), you give WOW very little to work with. The 512MB minimum requirement for WOW means, that it would not even load/start if you had less.

My advice is to upgrade your memory to at least 1GB, to give your game more "breathing room". You can order the memory needed directly from Dell (here) or from another supplier like Crucial (here). Just check for the best price.

You did not mention if you have a separate graphics card installed. You onboard graphic chip is a "Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2". If you look at the WOW support page (here), you can find all supported (and unsupported) video cards. You might want to consider to invest into a better graphic card (like this one), if you want to keep playing WOW.

If you have any more questions, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.

• The steps are:-----
• Shut down computer.
• Ensure that your computer and attached devices are turned off. If your computer and attached devices did not automatically turn off when you shut down your computer, turn them off now.
• Disconnect any telephone or telecommunication lines from the computer.
• NOTICE :---- To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then unplug it from the network wall jack.
• Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets, and then press the power button to ground the system board.
• Lay your computer on its side with the computer cover facing up
• If your computer cover has a cover latch, slide and hold the cover latch.
• Grip the indents on the computer cover, and slide the computer cover toward the back of the computer.
• Place the computer cover on a level surface.

Thank you. ( the image is in the above link ).

It most assuredly can, and a fresh install will not help, if that is the problem. What makes you think it is faulty capacitors?

Did you check with Dell? Is unit posting? Will not post if you have bad memory, peripheral, Try disconnecting everything except one stick of memory and see if it posts or you get something on the monitor.

you may require a new DVD drive

Are you kidding? That model is a boat anchor now!

Hello, Exit all programs and then re-boot the computer first to see if the sound returns. If you hear the start up sound, things are probably working. Here is a link to the Dell support page to investigate further: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/dimension-3000/manuals

Try Re-seating the RAM. This mostly does the trick.... does it beep any error sounds?

For the diskette drive 0 seek failure, does the computer skip past this error without difficulty ? If it does, then you may ignore it. It is caused probably by your replacing the battery having reset the BIOS which is thinking now it should find a floppy disk to boot from. If you haven't a floppy disk, or have floppy disk drive you will get this message. I do, but I ignore it. When you power up, you could try entering the BIOS setup, by pressing for example, the esc, F1, F2 or F8 keys - for your model I don't know which, you may find out from the internet, your manuals, or the Dell website/help or support - repetitively before the computer starts, ( from Dell support - "You can enter the system BIOS or Setup on a Dell PC by pressing F2 at the Dell loading screen").and somewhere the BIOS setup there should be the boot order change this to CD first (no CD inserted unless it is bootable), then USB if available (no media USB inserted, some USB devices are ok), the HDD. You should not set HDD first because this will give you big problems if it goes wrong and you need to boot from somewhere else. Put floppy disk after HDD and the message will disappear. I don't know about the password issue. I suggest you contact Dell support on this topic.

Robin Guzy, You will need to start the computer and tap the F2 key to enter the bios. Tab to where it reads the diskette drive and choose to disable the diskette drive. If you have a diskette drive you will need to replace it. Not many uses for diskette drives these days. For the password, you will need to try and remember the password or use a password recovery disk. This disk would have been created by you. If you did not create a password recovery disk you are going to either format and reinstall Windows or search the internet for programs that will recover your password.

The CMOS battery is a CR2032 button battery. You can find this at your local Radio Shack or other electronics store for about $5 or less.

You can only do a system restore if you can boot into safe mode. If you do not have Dell rescue discs then you need to reinstall your OS and you would need an OS disc for that.

Do you not have other options like pressing F5 or6 during boot?

Sounds like he may have turned on the "Sticky Keys", to turn this off , tap the shift key 5 times....should take care of it!
