I think this is the right board but not positive.  I was upgrading my husband's Dimension 8100 from  its 256  memory to 1024 and installing a second hard drive.  When I hooked everything back up and turned it on, my monitor would not come on, the computer beeped at me two or three times and so I looked on the back of my computer.  There are four lights there a b c d that are usually green but A and B are now orange.  Can anyone tell me what these lights are linked too and then point me to the tutorials on them.  Thanks

The link to the pertinent secion of your user's manual: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dsleest/codemess.htm .

Did you by chance install each of the upgrades separately, i.e., restart system after each upgrade, then proceed to the next one?  It tends to make troubleshooting problems a little easier.

You know I never thought to restart after each time lol... thanks for the tip I will definately start doing that. 

Also thanks for the link, I spent almost two hours yesterday trying to "find something"that would answer my question sufficiently. 

I am now off to go read lol.
