Okay,..........

1) You can download a wireless Ethernet adapter driver all day, but if you Do Not have a wireless adapter card installed in your computer, the drivers do you no good.

Or if you do not have a wireless USB adapter plugged into a USB port.

Example of a wireless adapter card,

Example of an Ethernet adapter card,

If you are just going to hardwire the computer, just buy an Ethernet adapter card, (PCI version), and install it in your computer, (On the motherboard), in any available white PCI slot.

IF it is the Mini Tower model.

The Desktop, Small Form Factor (SFF), and Ultra Small Form Factor (SFF) computers, are too small in width for a regular size Ethernet adapter card.

They need a Low-Profile Ethernet adapter card,

This is for a Dell Optiplex GX620 Mini-Tower computer,

Scroll the page down until you come to the bold blue heading - System Board Components
This is an illustration of a Top view of the Mini-Tower's motherboard.

16 and 17 point to two PCI slots.
This is where an Ethernet adapter card that is the PCI version, will plug into.

PCI slots are White in color.
An example of a basic PCI slot, ( 3 are shown),

If you do decide to go wireless;

1) Wireless networking operates at half of the speed of wired networking.

A computer that is wired directly to an Ethernet adapter card, is twice as fast on the internet, as a computer that is connected wireless.

2) Make sure your Router is capable of wireless.
Make sure the wireless router has a built-in Modem, or that you have a separate Modem.

[ For DSL.
Phone line connects to Filter. Filter has a place for a telephone cable, and an Ethernet cable.
Ethernet cable connects to Filter, and other end connects to Modem.
Ethernet cable goes from Modem to Wireless router that does not have a built-in Modem.

OR,
Phone line connects to Filter. Ethernet cable from Filter goes directly to wireless router, that has a built-in Modem.

Computer has to have a USB wireless device, or a wireless adapter card, installed.

For additional questions, or to clarify anything I have stated, please post in a Comment.

Hello,
I would suggest that you reseat all the parts connected to the motherboard such as memory, PCI cards, etc.
Once you have reseated everything, try to boot it up. If you're still having the same error you might need to isolate the cause by removing everything from the motherboard then installing them one by one. after every installed part, try to boot up your system. It will give you a series of beeps. Please refer to the link below for the beep code

Dell Optiplex Beeps
You might also want to check some troubleshooting steps on that link to isolate the problem.

Hi, you need to just put its jumper up and replace on other pin and then you need to hookup. After hookup you need to go once again in mother board and replace the jumper on the same place. And now you have got access in Bios.Best of Luck

Hello,
please try the driver found on the link below
Audio Driver
Thanks, hope this works!

may be your computer have no proper sound drive so u must install your sound driver first after we can check the hardware error of your motherboard.. you can download driver from here http://www.getpcmemory.com/drivers/download-dell-optiplex-gx620-desktop-pc-windows-xp-vista-drivers/

Hi, you can download the audio driver here:

http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=&SystemID=PLX_GX620

Please unzip the file before installation.

And use the green outlet jack for speakers.

Go to Dell.com and check for new audio drivers. Download the newest versions of the audio drivers and your audio should work.

Hi

You do not say if the sound was working before.

You do not say which operating system you are using.

Install the Audio Driver from the Dell Drivers & Utilities CD that came with the computer or download them from here, selecting your operating system:

When the CPU overheats then it will shut down (i.e. thermaloverload) and won't boot up again until it has cooled down. If this is theproblem is not fixed then the CPU will eventually fail.
A faulty fan causes the problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are cloggedwith dust.
Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan.
If the fan and heat sink is clogged with dust the remove the dust and make surethe vents are clear and dust free. Use a can of compressed air to do this.

You can download the audio and device drivers from Dell WEB site,the support download page. Make sure you select your model desktop or laptop,better still, type in the Service Tag number, it is printed on the label on thebottom of the laptop and on the back or sides of a desktop. (If the Service Taglabel is missing then go into the BIOS setting and on one of the BIOS pages,the Service Tag number will be displayed). This will open the page where thespecific drivers for your model computer are located. Also make sure you selectthe Windows of the drivers for your Windows operating system. Click on thislink to download the drivers: - http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen

I recommend replacinf the CPU fan, It may be a bearing problem and could fail soon and cause the CPU to overheat and shut down.

You will need to visit the Dell website and download the Windows 7 drivers for your computer. Click their downloads/support button.

Take care!

Hi target to sp...
Try doing a Defrag of your Hard drive and also a disc cleaning.
Both will get rid of junk on your computer to make it run faster.
1...Left click on Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools> Disc cleanup
2...Left click on Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disc Defragment
Note: > means "next"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If that does not work then try restoring your computer to an earlier time when it was running fast.
3...Left Click on Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Restore

is the network card driver installed?

Replace you video adapter

do the following 1.check if the monitor power cable is fixed good.
2.try to connect your cpu to another monitor and see if its working.(if it works no prb with the video card else prb with the video card)
3.if your video card is good .then there must be a prb with your monitor a little soldering will fix it !!!

I do believe you can order the parts (cd drive/floppy drive mounting bracket/cage) from Dell. I recommend to call Dell.

It sounds like a power management issue. Click Start > Run and type control panel. Hit enter and find the power management section. There should be an option to select how long it takes for the system to "sleep." You can disable this option, so the system won't sleep. I've included a brief how-to on the matter.
