Push in all the connectors.


Better yet, unplug and re-plug all connectors, memory DIMMs, PCI cards,
etc. Connectors are the biggest source of problems in anything
electronic and it the unit has just been moved a good distance the
probability is high that one of the connectors is loose.


It's over 1 1/2 years old - replace the power supply.

If that doesn't fix it, it's a Dell - throw it away and get a REAL
computer.

Ever hear of "The DELL from HELL"?


No, I have several Dell Optiplex systems that I got used for next to
nothing about 4 years ago and all still work fine, including one that is
my 24x365 mail and web server.
