Optiplex GX270 Thermal Problem (Flashing Yellow Light)
Hi guys, I recently bought a Radeon 9250 for my dell optiplex gx270 and it was working fine once i got it installed but earlier my computer shut down complaining of thermal problems, and im assuming its something to do with my new graphics card because i've not had this issue before, the problem is when my computer lid is shut my computer won't load up, it attempts to power up but then the light on the front just flashes yellow.. If the case is open then everything works fine, not a problem, just when its shut i have issues.. anybody know what the problem could be..

sorry to hear you feel this way joeyoung25.
the capacitor issue was an industry-wide issue, not just Dell. I had read reports that IBM got hit really bad with this as well as Compaq & HP. The capacitor was supplied to most OEM's. Dell's affected system count was pretty low, considering. I was able to get mine replaced under warranty - I did a batch reporting of them (even if some 'seemed' OK at the time - about 40 systems).
