PCI bus failure
Getting "Press to Resume" on boot up. Once is pressed system finishes the boot up normally and all seems to function OK. Shutdown is smooth; no problems. Checked diagnostic lights A, B, C, D on boot up and when the screen has "Press to Resume" the lights are A - yellow, B - green, C - yellow & D - yellow. According to Dell's diagnostic codes this means a PCI bus failure and to remove all cards, re-insall the cards (I assume) and see what happens. No conflicts exists as indicated under device manager.
Can anyone enlighten me as explanation of problem and possible solutions..........please. I get tired of pressing everytime the system it booted up!!
HELP....................HELP...................HELP.....................HELP !!!!
