Dell Dimension 8300 PROBLEM :(

StumpyNL.

Have you installed chipset drivers? They should be on the "Utilities and Drivers" CD.

Hello,

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately the problem isn't solved. I can't call the helpdesk because I live in the Netherlands and we ain't got any technical support, at least, a good one. I installed the Chipset thingy from the Dell CD but the hardware is still not detected. Could you please help me.

After looking at the image you have posted I can see that you have installed many of your softwares also by now. What I can suggest you now is to remove all the external devices if you have any printers or scanners or else any USB devices and then try reinstalling the chipset drivers again.Do a windows update if you are able to connect to the internet..
