Hi Francois,
Go here for an explanation of your lights. Your beep code doesn't seem to be listed and I am not familiar with the specific beep code you are getting, but I'm sure someone else here will be.
Good luck,

Hi,
OK, I'm sorry to have not been of help. If it were me, I would wait for a little bit and see if someone here can identify the specific beep code. If no one posts your answer, then I would call Tech Support and see what they suggest you do.
Unfortunately, you don't have any guarantee that anyone here will post, but I would keep checking back over the course of the day and see.
Once again, I'm sorry, but I wish you luck.

good luck! I have the same problem. Tech was sending a new mother board. No show. Called to check on it. He forgot. Will be (at best) six days before I get it. Best service???? But-the problem "probably" is a video card or mother board, to give you Dell Techs answer.584

Jeff, my personal choice, was the same as your...the gold sig! But that one was great for the water app!
Tha background is actually taken from the Dell water .bmp...
I have them all saved, will use them all at one time or another!
Did you see the sig I made for Goon Boy? I am rather proud of that one... I edited one of his Business Cards, and used it for the background...
Rather proud of myself, considering I am just learning! I have stolen a bunch of your post to study, so I can learn the color thing!
Hope you don't mind!
Thanks!

I have a similar problem with my Dimension V333c.
4 Yellows. Sometimes 3G 1Y.
I've solved my problem by reseating the processor.
For your info, reseating the memory, PCI and ISA cards would not help.
The question now: Why does the processor needs to be reseated????
Lam.

But I already know the explanation. I need to know how to fix it (actually there is no explanation on the book or webservice!)
What to do?
