Optiplex 270, beeps on startup...........
HI all,
Lookin for possible causes for this particular problem... Upon startup, after going through the load up screen, it takes you to a black screen, beeps 2wice, and wants you to input 1 of 2 commands. 1st being a reboot, which doesn't work. 2nd being setup utility. These commands are all done with F1 or the F2 keys. Already tried to reseat the video card and the RAM. The harddrive is good, though it did have a bad cable. I installed 2 other hard drives to see what would happen and still get the same effect. I am almost down to thinking that the motherboard is bad, but would like to see what others might have to say?
Can you help out? Questions would be cool too!!

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
What do the led lights on the back of the system show? This may help in finding a resolution to the problem.
