Should be in power management and look for last state. Terry

Unless only one 256-MB memory module is installed, the modules must be installed in identical pairs. If you want 512MB total, you will need to populate by using two identical 256MB modules or use the same technique for larger memory sticks. That model supports up to 4GB ram of the following type; PC3200 ECC DDR SDRAM DIMMs

Hello,

This usually means there is a problem with your keyboard connection at the mainboard end. If you keep getting this error and you can not use your input devices, you will need to replace the board.

Good Luck

Hi

Besides standard beeps codes indicating Processor, CPU, Memory or Systemboard failures,
Dell PERC (PowerEdge Expandable Raid Controller) or SAS Controllers (Serial Attached SCSI) generate beeps to alert failures on the RAID sub-system.

From your description of the issues (when the beeps start), i suggest you check PERC or SAS setup. If you have Dell OpenManage Server Administrator installed, you can log-in and check for more information. Additionally, on the next reboot check the PERC/SAS/CERC boot up for any messages. You may also access the PERC (Ctrl+M), SAS (Ctrl+R) CERC (Ctrl+A) Management Menu for specific failures and attempt a rebuild (assuming you have a redundant RAID Volume).

You can also speak with Dell Support and raise a warranty call if the system has warranty.

Note: PowerEdge 840 would ship with PERC or SAS Controller. PowerEdge 700 will ship with PERC or CERC.

Please be more specific. You haven't actually asked a question. What are you trying to do? What happens that you aren't expecting?

Computer not recognizing the hard drive. Look in BIOS to see if hard drive is listed. Reload system disc/CD.

driver here hp v165w driver

It could be a couple of things 1. the computer Cpu fan is not working or is clogged inspect it and clean or replace.2 The power supply could be bad

Namrata_stha, The I912 error is referring to the System Event Log is full of events and because of this is unable to log anymore. You must clear the log in order for the Server Management controller to log any more events. Now depending on the OS installed there are different ways to clear it. If Windows Server 2k8 you would use this command - wevtutil el ' foreach { wevtutil cl $_ } Where with Server 2003 you can go tot he Event viewer and clear it. Let me know if this helps.

what is your server model? in most cases you can use the operating disc to format the server drives

Go to start menu. click on 'control panel'. Select 'system and security". Then select 'system'. This should give you the info.

You will have to get into the controlled setup in order to find out what the problem is, or you can simply hit ctrl-D and do the Dell disk diagnostics which will take an hour or more, but will give you an idea of where to start. Logically, if it won't boot, then your RAID is probably broken. it can sometimes be repaired through either the RAID or controller setup menu, which you can see during boot. go here, for the manuals and documentation on how to do that: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/poweredge-t105/manuals

Is it in a 1, 3, 2 beep pattern (beep....beep, beep, beep........beep, beep)? If so, the memory is either not seated well or may be bad. Try reseating your memory. If it continues, try with one stick at a time just to see if it will boot up with a display.Thanks,--Brian

What question do you have about your battery? Do you need to order one or are you experiencing low battery life?

Kindly start windows in safe mode by pressing F8 key while powering up, Goto device manager and uninstall any new installed drivers or device. Regards,Kaushik Patel

You can download the service manual from Dell`s website or either check some youtube tutorials if available.

Please replace CMOS battery and then will not be losing time.Regards,Kaushik Patel

Step 1:

First open look on the back off your pc and see if you have an onboard video card (closer to the power supply and pointed up and down or one much lower down towards the last two-thirds off the case....

Step 2:

If you have an onboard I would think it's toast but if you have a seperate video card swap it out for another one and if that don't work I would guess it's your motherboard.....
