Always get your drivers and specific software from the manufacturer of your Laptop, Notebook or Desktop.

If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, usually one is able to download if available, by model number, All available Driver downloads as required.

If the driver is not available, perhaps your manufacturer does not support the OS you are installing.

This is the best way of ensuring up to date drivers for your system and they are free of charge!
Download the latest drivers from dell.

I hope this helps.

Welcome to Fixya.

Your computer system is is a state that is referred to as a dead computer system.

See my published guide entitled My Computer is not turning on!!! Is it dead!!! No POST!!!

There are many things that you can do to diagnose the faulty component/s.
The guide will clear things up.

Thanking you

your powersupply could of gone bad try to unplug the powersupply and plug it back into the motherboard if this doesnt stop it the part of the powersupplly that tells it to kick on is bad

Test your PSU or replace it if your power supply units fan is not working your PSU is faulty

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up a computer hard drive

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your ((motherboard to your hard drive)) make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they are probably old and faulty a computer needs its connections to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error

hope this will help don

Try booting it up in safe mode by holding down F8 on boot up and then download and install Malwarebytes and Super Anti-Spyware which are both free. Install them update and run one at a time.

Go to Dell.com and download factory drivers for your machine there under support and drivers section. This is the best way to go about it. I have owned one of these in the past and this is what I did with it. John

Hi,
If the power light is blinking amber, the computer is receiving electrical power, but an internal power problem might occur.

Ensure that the voltage selection switch is set to match the AC power at your location, if applicable.

Ensure that the processor power cable is securely connected to the system board.

Could you not format your computer? Usually, when formatting with XP blue screen appears for a few minutes and then it continues formatting. But if it is not your problem, try formatting your system again with another OS.

Replace the hard disk, it's dead.

1-try safe mode.(pressing f+8 before starting for windows)
2-mostly with reinstalling Os this problem will disappear.
3-send model of your OS.

There could be many reasons for this...we will cover a few.
First go here: http://www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscareper.html and download Advanced System Care (these are all free programs). Install the program (during installation be watchful of the program asking you to download toolbars and things of this nature you do not need, just un-check them) and click "Maintain Windows" Click "scan" when it finishes click "repair". Then click "Diagnose System" as well...scan and repair (may require reboot).
Then go here: www.malwarebytes.org and download the free version of this program. Save to desktop, install, update and run full scan. Follow instructions to delete any Malware. This may take some time so make sure you do it over your lunch hour or when work is slow.
Lastly, check your computer fans to see that they are running properly, or are not obstructed by anything like dust or just lying on something that will restrict the air flow.
Hope this helps you
