Your windows software has loaded something that it cannot find now. Did this just start? Have you loaded any software or hardware recently?

You must have turned off the Welcome screen. go into Dell help and search for Welcome and have it "Default".

Cant use my rad 5 with a desktop Dell computer with Vista

Temporarily connect another monitor to your computer.

Set the screen-resolution to 800 by 600 at 60 Hertz.

Disconnect the other monitor, and connect your RAD.

It should display.

Try changing the screen-resolution to 1024 by 768, and "test" it.

Show a blue screen

You need to go into the Setup Utility or BIOS when the computer boots. You need to enable the computer to boot from the CD drive, and set up boot priority with CD Drive first, then Hard Drive HDD.

Then it will boot the disc.

Dell Inspiron 531 gets me crazy..

also while you are at it reset BIOS by remove battery from motherboard and/or switching jumper setting.

hope it helps.

Dell inspiron 1300 display

Hi,
Does this happen regardless of operating system state? (e.g. if you interrupt normal booting to windows)? You could try booting from e.g. linux live cd to see whether the issue is operating system-specific or if it's caused by a hardware problem.
I've seen very similar symptoms on several Thinkpad T41s where ATI graphics chips were failing, I hope it's not the case with your dell.
Good luck,
Raf

How do I get into safe mode on a Dell Inspiron 531. PF 8 doesn't do it?I can only get into Setup with PF2. Otherwise the boot up only goes to the DELL screen and hangs there.

You cant get in safe mode because the PC hangs before windows ever try to start.

Try to press F8 multiple times but right after the Dell screen.
Some computer don't like that you press F8 while the bios is loading and just hangs there, maybe its your case.

The LCD display dims almost to black after 20-40 mins.

Power save settings or it may have an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the screen to "match" the surrounding light. Power settings in the control panel will hold the key.

No desktop display

Ok. Try pressing ctrl shift and esc at once. Then go to file- run (new task) and in the box type explorer.exe, then press OK. This should solve it.

Can't get pass the background screen when pc load

The sequence is:
a) The Dell bios splash screen is displayed,
b) the screen will go black,
c) the disk activity light will flash for about 5 - 7 seconds, then will remain off.
d) you force a power off,
e) wait a few seconds,
f) then turn the machine back on.
g) The bios splash screen is displayed,
h) then a black screen with white text is displayed, reporting that Windows was not shut down nicely and would I like to boot into safe mode or safe mode with networking, or others.
g1) If you choose Safe Mode, Windows will boot up successfully. If I restart, the computer will usually (probably) boot into Windows fine.
g2) If you choose Boot Normally, the computer will usually (probably) enter the black and hung state.
see if that helps and the if possible do a do a system restore to when the system was working correctly.
