Precision 380 goes into power save and won't come out of it
My precision 380 workstation will normally turn on and let me login but after a minute or so it goes into power save mode and I can't bring it out of it. I have to unplug it and leave it a few minutes before it will boot back up again. The power light is blinking orange. I have the power settings set to always on but that hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

If the power light is amber and green or steady amber — A device might be malfunctioning or incorrectly installed.
I would suggest you remove all the memory and cards like it mentions. Then power the system on. I should make beeps as you dont have any ram or cards in it.
If the power light is now a steady green, power down and start adding in the parts one item at a time.

Thanks. I had a look in the manual but it doesn't give me a lot to go on. The light is actually flashing amber constantly once it goes down. This is what I found:

The computer is receiving electrical power, but an internal power problem might exist.
