Xps 410 seems to take a long time to boot.It takes 4 or 5 min. and seems to do alot of hard drive swapping. I have already taken it back to factory condition, got rid of the extra preloaded stuff. Updated the bios and all the recomended drivers. This didn't seem to help at all. I have live one care as my internet security. I added 2 gigs of memory to 3 gigs total. Also didn't seem to help. Please help

Not sure what you are trying to do. If you are trying to convert 32 bit to 64 bit Apps, try going to manufacturers website to look for drivers.
Win 7 will actually find the best drivers for your devices.
According the the dell specification you can only install up to 4gb, so I don't understand you saying that you were upgrading from 3gb to 6gb. Make sure that all the ram that is installed is of the same brand and speed (667 / 800 MHz Dual Channel Dual DDR2 SDRAM). The fact that it is saying no boot device also would suggest that it is possibly something wrong with your harddrive, whether it was corrupted or damaged while you were changing the RAM, if you have a spare harddrive try installing and booting from it. If that doesn't work it could be a motherboard issue, which the BIOS should be update, all the jumpers on the board should be checked etc. Its rather hard to diagnose a problem such as this, and the fact that after you installed the new RAM, even the old RAM would not work, suggests that you may have damaged something while messing around in the computer.
Sounds like you disconnecting the cmos and it helping was just coincidence.The hard drive may be bad or your OS needs to be repaired or reinstalled.Alot of times when it does as you indicated the boot sector maybe corrupt or your hard drive has bad sectors where the boot info was written on the hard disk
Hi. the mother board seems to be having some initialization issues during boot up. this is common when the mother board is failing. i would check to make sure the battery on this board is working. if it is, the board my be ruined. power board seems to be fine. please rate and god bless.
The only thing RAID 1 does is make a real time backup of everything you do in real time. Its like having a mirrored hard drive. You dont really need it per say.
try to remove all external device connected to your computer. just leave the keyboad, mouse and monitor connected.
restart computer.
if still a blank screen
remove everything connected to your computer (mouse kyeboard and monitor) restart if nothing happens
open your computer and remove all devices (hard drive, optical drives, memory... restart,,, you should be hearing beeping sounds indicating motherboard is looking for memory. try putting back 1 memory at a time and checking all mem slot. to identify if one of the memory could be causing the blank screen. if both memory will not work try to use known good working memory. if you dont get to hear the beeping sound using a known good working memory. your memory is the problem.
give me more info
