    I doubt it's dirty, he must have cleaned it putting it on a new board, it must be the cooler isn't seated correctly, or he used to much thermal paste.

So picture guy, LOL

Most all boards have two power plugs from PSU, (power supply unit)
a 20 or 24pin and a 4 or 8pin.

The rest from PSU are for hardware, except if you have any video cards in pci-e slots, but they are not truly part of the motherboard they are addon.

Then from the case you have power button, reset, pled,hdled.

Sata ports on mobo, cpu fan, addon fans, DVD rom.

Front panel audio.

So now you have taken one memory stick and entered the BIOS, then tried each one.

You need to check each stick.


Now you put in your hdd erase disk, boot from it and you're going to erase your hdd so it's all clean for a fresh install.

Now you throw in the windows disk and you boot from it to install windows.

Right !!!

Go into thye BIOS and turn off USB bootable device. The error is because the computer is trying to use the keyboadr to boot. At least it solved my problem.

SOURCE: Upgraded Studio XPS 435/9000 Ram - Now No Windows 7 Start

Check speed settings in BIOS, make sure that the sticks are the correct voltage for your motherboard. If the specs are correct, try a program like memtest86. This will tell you where the problem is, but it is up to you to find which stick that location is :) Might take some trial and error before you find the defective one!

SOURCE: Boot fails at Dell Inspiron logo at half way mark

you need to reset the processor and test your ram, one last thing make sure your dvd rom is working check cable make sure its connected

Testimonial: "Resetting the processor is something that would not come to my mind as a resolution. However, I did along with most others. It worked. Thanks!"

Why doesnt my compter get past the booting screen?

Early in the post stage, bad ram or failing hard drive.

Do all the following with the PC unplugged:

Remove cables from Hard drive - pay attention to where the go back, turn on pc and see if it goes further (if it does, you probably have a failing hdd and should seek professional help immediately. Don't keep trying it, else you lose everything for sure.

If that doesn't work, plug the hdd back in and again with power UNPLUGGED, remove one of the ram sticks. Turn pc on.

If works, you have a bad stick or slot, if still nothing, put ram back in and take out next stick. Repeat until you find the problem.

After switch on button activation Dell logo appears with load progress bar stopping 1/2 way and screen freezes. The F2 and F12 buttons options at bottom right of the screen do not respond. Tried using...

The first check you could make is if every component is correctly plugged.
When the pc starts it makes a control of all components before booting. You may want to check also internal components.
For this reason is also useful to know if when the pc starts it does only one "beep" or a "beep code" (for instance one long and one short "beep" or two long "beeps" ecc)
If everything is correctly plugged it may be a motherboard problem.
Let us know if you solved your problem

My dell studio 1555 is not operating ....when i power on a screen with dell comes and and it does not goes further more .....at the right bottom of the screen it says F2 for setup and f12 boot ...and when...

This could be a problem with corrupt files. As for the stuck CD drive, there should be a small pinhole on the drive's door. Stick a paperclip in there and it should pop open. As for the boot screen, hit F12 and make sure it's booting to the C:/ drive, which is the hard drive inside your computer. If there still isn't any progress, if you have an operating system disc (like Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows XP Professional) pop that in the drive and go back to the boot menu to select the disk drive. If that takes you to an installation menu, you should simply follow the onscreen instructions to recovery or a formatting (wiping of the hard drive and reinstallation) which is your choice. I'm not sure if the fan has mechanically failed or if it is due to software error, but the laptop should be able to function at least during startup without a fan. You should worry about getting the computer up and running before you are concerned about the fan. Best of luck!

Is it possible to take my IDE harddrive from my old dell dimension 8100 running 'XP' and install it as a second harddrive in my dell studio 8100 studio xps with W7, then boot "XP" from harddrive...

If your motherboard in your new machine supports IDE and you set the jumper on the HDD to slave then I dont see any reason why you wouldnt be able to use it as a second drive
