No boot screen on Computer

Smithy0115 · 27 Nov 2011 at 16:17

I have a Dell Dimension 5000 which, when turned on, puts all fans on full blast beeps 6 times and gives no output on the screen. :/

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't think of where to start with no screen output.

Thanks,
Smithy

EDIT: Even when disconnected from the mains there is a orange light on the mobo.

There aren't any LEDs on the IO shield but there are some on the front, called A B C D. A and B are orange and C and D are green. Thanks for the fast reply!

EDIT: Grammar.

Look up the error code on google or on dell support.

Try 1 stick of ram and remove the GPU (if any) try on board GPU.

Ah thanks, looked up the lights, looks like a memory issue.

Try single memory module and try the other one, you might only have one faulty stick.

Your right

faulty RAM stick, it boots fine with only one. Thanks for the help. I should have really been able to do this myself though
