Dell dimension 3100 dual monitors - Dell Dimension 3100 PC Desktop

Check your monitor cable first! Try reconnecting your display cable both at the computer and monitor ends. If it's still pink, try reinstalling the vga graphics driver from the Dell Utility CD-ROM (Or download from Dell's support site http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/dimension-3100/drivers then select you PC model's video driver and re-install it. if after re-installing the video driver your display's still pink, try connecting to a different monitor - if a different monitor displays correctly, then its your monitor that's faulty. If it's pink on a different monitor too, then it's your PC video hardware that's got the problem - At least you'll know whether it's the monitor that's faulty or whether it's your computer's graphics hardware. (if your computer's video chip is faulty, then I suspect you'll need a replacement motherboard - $$$ - as I think the video is "on-chip" on the Dimension 3100 - so it may be time to consign it to the scrapheap and buy a new system if you can afford to)

I have met the same problems, just visit Mannualbirds.com to refer to the DELL 3100 manual, your problem will be well solved! View Dell 3100 PDF User Manual Online

ok did you add this drive in or did you replace it with the drive that was in your pc

You can found the drivers on Dell Support site for Dimension 3100 Desktop PC thru here.

If you had reinstalled your OS you may have to download Chipset first then second Software Utilities and lastly Video drivers.

Yes it has. But my best advise or suggestion is to call Dell technical support for assistance for them to set it up. Thank you.

Check to see if the monitor cable is connected properly.

You can purchase and aftermarket monitor. I bought a nice LCD from Wal-Mart for about 99 dollars. Also, tigerdirect.com sells refurbished and new monitors relatively cheap.

open the side panel, write down the manufacturer and model number of the motherboard and look for the specs of the board on-line

To run dual monitors will require you to install a PCI video card.

Speakers are not built into the box itself. They may be in the monitor, or completely separate.

Did you get this directly from Dell, or from a third party. Dell would have shipped you speakers with it, or a monitor with speakers built-in. Purchased from a third-party you might just get the box itself.

If you have a monitor with speakers, you still have to connect the sound output from the box to the monitor.
