Plug & Play Configuration Error

When the GX50 boots, I get the following message:
Plug & Play Configuration Error
Strike F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility.

If I strike F1, the system continues to boot normally and everything seems to work fine. There is some sort of PCI hardware that the system wants to install and can't, called "PCI Simple C___ Controller"

What do I need to do to make this message go away. I think the system is functioning well

Karl,

Thank you for visiting DELLTalk.

The first thing that I would recommend trying is to clear the NVRAM (see below) and see if you still get the same message. If so, try removing any added hardware from the system to restore the original system configuration, clear the NVRAM and then restart to see if you are still getting the same error message.

If the problem persists, please contact Dell Technical Support via e-mail for personalized assistance.

You can find information on clearing the NVRAM on most newer OptiPlex systems in the Dell Online Knowledge Base article located here.

I got the same message at boot!
 
After removing a bad NIC card it solved the problem!
