You can't get it, but you can reset the password. To reset the BIOS password read the information from this link.

TRY TO REMOVE THE RAM MODULE AND CLEAN THE SLOTS THAN REMOVE THE CMOS BATTERY ON THE MOBO FOR A FEW MINUTES THAN PUT BACK CMOS AND RAM AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS NOT HELP MAY BE THE PROBLEM IS IN YOUR HARD DISK TRY TO CHANGE THE INTERFACE CABLE BETWEEN THE HARD DISK AND MOBO AND TRY TO BOOT AGAIN :)

I depends upon the type of graphics card you have purchased. The white slots are PCI expansion slots
and if the there is a longer slot in the middle of the motherboard next to the PCI slots, then it will be a AGP expansion slot.
APG graphics card are better graphics cards and these slots are designed for these graphics cards.

It will go in any PCI slot.When you boot the machine it should come up with found new hardware wizard.Follow instructions.If new hardware wizard does not pop up go to control panel,then dbl click on add new hardware and follow prompts,it will ask if you have the disc if you dont it has options for what hardware you are trying to install.If you do have the disc you can  put the disc in the CD dirve and it should automatically start,if not click on my computer dbl click your drive where you put the disc and when the program opens click on install,

check power supply, check bios betery

Hi,
This should be the front panel header configuration of that particular motherboard.


6-8 (red) is your power sw
2-4 (green) is your power LED
1-3 (yellow) is your HDD LED
5-7 (purple) is your reset sw
black is not connected

The motherboard should go into a custom case no problem.

Regards.

The motherboard is the main part of the computer. The memory, processors, network, video, sound all are either built into the motherboard or are connected to it. the picture above shows a basic motherboard. why is it called a motherboard? because in general computer components are named by gender (females accept connections, males make connections) the motherboard accepts the all kinds of connections to make your computer work.

You need to do some simple tests. First make sure the monitor is working - test it with another pc.
Start by disconnecting everything and try to boot at least in the BIOS; if it's the same then replace the power source and try again; if it's the same then install another video card in it and try again; if it's the same then replace the memory sticks and try again. Finally replace the processor and try one more time - if even now you can't get the video to show up then the motherboard is dead, replace it.

Before swapping it out, I would try:
clearing the cmos, reseating the memory, checking the power switch (PS wire from the power button to the motherboard)
If you get no life then the board is bad and will have to be swapped out.

During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup

Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS the scroll down to advanced bios features press enter change your first boot device to cd,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart

hope this helps

Hi.

Remove battery for 30 minutes. If i were you I'd first start by using a multimeter and see the condensor surrounding the Processor area. when they are down, that is what happens to your pc.

If condensors make that beeping sound........ it means u have to replace them. then find someone who knows soldering..


good luck

Try a different power supply if you have one on hand...

As its under warranty, you have to go back to Dell, call them, ask for advice and any other questions such as How long?

You can download the drivers from Dell WEB site, the support download page. Make sure you select your model desktop or laptop, better still, type in the Service Tag number, it 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 into the BIOS setting and on one of the BIOS pages, the Service Tag number will be displayed). This will open the page where the specific drivers for your model computer are located. Also make sure you select the Windows XP or Vista version of the drivers for your Windows operating system. Click on this link to download the drivers: -
