Yello power light, dell

Jan 10, 2009

-   I've got a sold amber light after a total freeze up on my computer. tried restarting to no avail... pulled video card didnt change anything. I get the keyboard check and hard disk spin but no video and its not completing the boot (no bios beeps as there is no internal speaker)
i found a refurbished motherboard here:

im thinking of just starting over with these parts and keeping everything else in the case (harddrive, dvd drive, etc)
XFX GeForce 8200 Motherboard CPU Bundle - AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Processor 2.60GHz Black Edition

EVGA GeForce 8500 GT Video Card - 1GB GDDR2, PCI Express, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) DVI, VGA, HDTV

Corsair XMS2 DHX 2048MB Dual Channel PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory (2 x 1024MB)

any suggestions (this rebuild would cost me $190 plus shipping)
what do you think?

-   I had just cleaned the fans (power supply and processor) of my optiplex GX260 PC. I started it the first and it worked well. I then restarted and changed the hard disk. It just stalled. When I opened I observed an orange/amber light that comes on and just stays on. But nothing else works. HELP!-   Guest
