You are missing the OS.
If you have the restore CD's, use them to restore your Dell to original state, or you can order a set from Dell.
If you do not have a restore CD's you can also boot with a Windows CD and install the OS but you will have to go to the Dell website and download the drivers for your model.
I hope this helped.
Good luck and have a pleasent day.

The two USB ports in the front of my Dell Slim 540S do not work

They may not be connected from the chassis to your motherboard. If your PC is under warranty, be wary about opening your case without Dell support on the phone or they will void your warranty if they find out. However the motherboard should be clearly labeled where the USB connections are.

generally a no post, since the system will not stay on, you simplify the system configuration by removing all external connections except power, then see if the system will stay on. If it does, add items back one at a time till you ID the issue.
If no change with external items disconnected, then issue is internal. remove any expansion cards and try again, if issue resolved, the add one at a time to isolate fault. If still no go, try ram modules individually. if still no go, disconnect power to all drives, see if system will stay running with drives disconnected. if still no go, then it is either the power supply or the motherboard. replace the power supply 1st since it is cheapest to replace

If the system has a floppy drive, take the diskette out.
If the system has no floppy disk drive (Most Likely) boot to the BIOS and turn off the diskette controller and make sure diskette options are set to NONE. It appears you reset the BIOS defaults, and the Diskette controller is on by default.

Computer is on, moniter is on, but there is no picture.

Remove any USB devices such as mp3 players. If your computer is supplied with a wireless mouse & keyboard then leave the receiver in.

If it still doesnt work try it without the reciever. Or return it to the store where you brought it from

Best gaming desktop configuration for 700$

dell has a good deal on a studio desktop pc Core 2 duo quad core but even without the monitor its 550, then you have to add a good video card, integrated cards are garbage and so is intel, so the good ones are anout $100-300 intel and amd

to keep cost down you could also go with a core 2 duo (dual core) but stay away from celerons they **** for gaming
check staples/office max/best buy/circuit city or dell dot com for good deals

some dell studio's are slim desktops and unless you get a video card from dell they can be hard to find(near impossible)

Hello.

If you are referring to the "power-on" password (the password to unlock your system), power off your PC, disconnect all cables, remove the cover and remove the silver, coin-shaped battery for 10 minutes. That should remove the power -on password. Insert the battery again and reassemble.

If you are referring to the login password or account password, there is a hidden Administrator account that is created when your operating system is installed. Access that account and then reset your password.

1. Boot your computer and press F8 repeatedly
2. Access Safe Mode
3. Key in “Administrator” in Username, with no password.
4. Go to Control Panel, then User Accounts
5. Select the account you want to reset the password
6. Change the password

Hope this helps
