Hi Allen,

The only thing I did not see you mention was firmware;
GCE 84000

I like your PS, sad part it`s True!!

Hi Allen,

BR55342.exe is the firmware update, these are not the same as drivers. Considering all that you done, click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 12, article 3 and run these Dell tests. If it fails, then do as Dell-Stephen suggests, contact Dell to discuss a replacement if under warranty.


Best Regards
