This alarm indicates different errors. A common one is that the computer system is not able to detect the RAM installed in your computer. What you need to do is to remove the RAM modules and clean their gold fingered connectors with tissue paper. Be sure to also clean the RAM slots with a vaccum cleaner, be gental though. Then install the RAM modules into the slots in the correct orientation, indicated by the small cut out around 3/4 on the module connector.Take care!damnor01

As I see you have two choices to connect your PC to TV.1. Use VGA to RCA Component Cable 2. Use VGA to Scart Cable - It is hard to find that one.So if you choose the first option, you have to connect VGA to your computer (it is marked with 9 in the picture below) and RCA end to the TV.Before that, lower the resolution of the computer and set the frequency of the Video adapter to 50Hz.Make sure your Video card software initializes the TV.That's all. Simple as that.Good luck!

Hi, The rear jack will do fine. You don't have to disable anything. Good luck.

Dell has the User's Guides for the Optiplex GX520 here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx520/en/ug/index.htm . Select your desktop form factor. The direct link to the manual for the desktop version is http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx520/en/ug/dindex.htm . If you would rather download the files, see http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx520/en/index.htm . The Quick Reference Guide is a pdf; the user's manual is a .zip of the html files. Download the user's guide and then locate it on your desktop or downloads directory. Right click on the file. Select Extract All. (I'll assume a version of Windows with the built in unzip tool. Otherwise you need the software to extract the file.)


I hope this helps.

Hi lyndsayharve.. Try this solution to your problem. Look for the speaker icon on your desktop in the right bottom portion of the sceen.Also when you find it, RIGHT click on it, you will have two choices to make, choose and check each one of the choices to make sure that NONE of the boxes on each choice has a checkmark in Mute,if there is a check mark then uncheck it.NOTE:In "Open Volume control: you will find slider to adjust for volume,Wave,CD Player,etc.After that is down, then LEFT click on the speaker icon and make sure that the slider is all the way to the top and that the Mute does not have a check mark,if it does remove the check.If that does not work then re-install the audio driver for your computer.Audio driver for your Dell GX520 at this webpage.Please take time to rate mehttp://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?os=WW1&catid=3&dateid=-1&impid=-1&osl=EN&typeid=-1&formatid=-1&servicetag=&SystemID=PLX_GX520&hidos=WW1&hidlang=en&TabIndex=&scanSupported=True&scanConsent=FalsePlease take time to rate me thumbs up

Remove your RAM Clean ram and RAM SLOT then insert Ram then your pc ok

Reformat the hard drive and reload operating system software.

A solid orblinking Amber power button indicates a voltage problem. This can be caused bya defective power supply or a defective motherboard. Just to make sure thatnothing else is causing the problem, remove any PCI cards like modem, videocard, sound card, etc... Remove the memory modules and disconnect cables toCD/DVD drives. Look at the USB ports to see if any are damaged.

Power supply complaint

Go to Search Dell.com on the page you will see the Keyword or Part Number search TAT. Put in your model number and over 400 files will pop up. I am sure your sound card files are there.

You can get sound driver into dell website, friend. Just visit their website and look for download drivers...find the model of the driver...choose what kind of operating system you used...to make the system driver compatible...then DONE

Might have a memory card problem, see to it that it is working properly. If it is not,,, try to clean the contact point . If it still is not working try to replace it ,for all startup problems constitute by our memory card or videocard or worst our motherboards. Have a nice day and i hope this could help..
