20 Most Recent Dell OptiPlex GX1 PC Desktop Questions & Answers

don't read in Spanish, sorry

Go on your desktop and right-click on the "My computer" icon and go to its properties
Then go to "Hardware" Tab and then go to "Device Manager"
In the Device manager, notice any yellow question mark or exclamation mark especially on the CD Drive. Right-click on it and choose update driver. The the driver installation wizard will take you through the process. When complete, restart the computer and try if its working. Do the same on the USB component in the device manager. This should solve you out of that, It means the CD Rom drivers as well as the USB are corrupt or missing...

If this does not work then consider using any software that scans your computer and reveals to you the drivers missing on it.

If this does not work, i think you just have to re-install your Operating system

Welcome to Fixya

Try to use 1 stick if memory module if you are using 2 sticks. This is a common problem with new motherboards, dual channel mode is not activated. Once you access the Bios just reset the motherboard and that should do it. If you still get the same thing, try to use external video card and see if you are getting issue with video card.

Let me know is you need further assistance.

Hi,

The device drivers for your model computer/laptop can be downloaded from the Dell WEB support site.
To download the drivers from Dell WEB site, select your model desktop or laptop, or a better option, type in the Service Tag number, this is printed on the label on the bottom of the laptop and on the back or sides of a desktop. (If the Service Tag label is missing then go the BIOS setting and on one of the BIOS pages, the Service Tag number will be displayed). The Service Tag will open the page where the drivers specific for your model computer/laptop are located. Also make sure you select the Windows XP or Vista version of the drivers for your Windows operating system.


For download copy bellow the link and paste on address bar.

I hope this information was useful, if you have any questions or comments please reply to this and i will try to help as much as i can.

Firstly check the volume is not low or muted on both windows and the speakers. In windows click the speaker icon in the bottom right of your screen, check the volume is turned up. Then click mixer or advanced and check that all volumes are turned up.
If using a laptop, check that the hotkey control for volume is on. You will see an audio icon on one of your ‘F’ keys, hold the Fn button located near the ctrl and press the volume function key.
Next open Device Manager from Control Panel and check there are no yellow exclamation marks on any drivers. If there are then you need a new driver.
If you are still having issues the sound card may be faulty, this is usually integrated into the motherboard. In a desktop PC you could buy a new PCI soundcard if you have a spare PCI slot in your machine.
You need to goto the manufacturers website, find their support section and there should be a list of drivers for your specific machine. Installing these should resolve your problem. I have a list of links to most manufacturers drivers on my website.
Hope this helps,

In order to use the SCSI zip drive, you'll need a Windows 98 driver for that drive. Go to the manufacturer's website to download the driver; if there isn't a Windows 98 driver available, that device may not be compatible with Windows 98.

Hello,
If you connect the drives using one single ribbon cable with two connectors on it then you need to set the drives to Master/Slave using the jumpers on the drives. Master being your OS drive.
If you are running a very old Operating System, make sure it can support a 20GB drive.

well u can GET A NEW COMPUTER!!!!!!!!

AVG is (Anti virus guard) just update or remove the software

try to change your booting setup in your bios maybe it reads first the hardisk not your cd rom.

put the windows cd in cd drive...and run it...it will ask for a partition where it should b installed..select the desired partition...and it start installing automatically..

That will work, but you may also consider using that windows xp disk to upgrade, it'll fix the problem plus give you an upgrade. Kinda kills two birds with one stone.

check whether ur ram is working or not. remove the cpu side door and remove the ram from the ram slot and clean it using a eraser gently and fix again it back and power ur pc on and check it

Pleaase provide the service tag or the express service code and i will be able to provide you resolution
