Hi,

 

My first post on here, so please be gentle!

 

My Dimension XP system has stalled on start-up and gives the "checkpoint [Ithr] - contact Dell support" message.

 

I've searched the forums, but there seems to be no defiinitve answer for fixing the problem. Some say remove all USB kit and reboot, some say removing the battery for the motherboard, others say try and crack into the BIOS at start-up.

 

So which one do I try, and is there a checklist (I guess going from the easiest to the most difficult, or the most effective to the least) of possible soolutions I should try?

 

TIA,

Bruce
