    Hi, 

    Do you mean to say the system is not booting into windows just a blinking line on . 

    Or do you mean the machine is not stuck at dell logo??

    Please elaborate the issue a bit more.

    Regards

    I meant that when i turn on the machine it don't appear the dell logo, the monitor it's going on but black screen, and after a few seconds apear the blinking line. Also on the machine the 1 2 3 led it's stay on.

    When i try to hit F2 to enter the bios setup nothing happen.
