Your network interface card that connects you to the internet is not working because you need to install the software for this device. If it worked before, then maybe you network card is deffective.

Means that the software device drivers are not loaded for that device. Did you add anew card or drive?

Open the BIOS. Go to the password part. Enter the current password. When it cues you for a new password just press return.

just update your windows and get genuine windows.

Take stiff tooth brush, remove and clean laptop battery terminals, if no! battery will need to be replaced.

No universal keys are used that I know. The only solution is to remove power, battery and access the hardware under the laptop to find the CMOS battery. It looks similiar to a regular PC battery but has a plastic cover with two wires coming out into a plastic connector. This plastic connector is very fragile. You only need to disconnect it and let the machine sit over night... it should work without a password in the morning. Make sure to plug the battery back in... carefully! A magnifying glass may be needed. The battery is usually located near or under the hard drive or close to the processor..

Note... as this cleares all information saved in your BIOS system, your device may start detecting new hardware or USB / DVD drive letters bay change.

hmmmm sounds familiar, i had the same issue it turned out to be a cracked ram clip that caused the random beeps from time to time. i would take a look at your ram and reseat and check for damage to the clips.

Hi,
Please follow these steps,there are different way on going to BIOS depending on the brand of the laptop.
1
Turn on your computer

2
Hold down F2, this will take you into BIOS. On some computers it might be the DEL key, or F1.

3
Change the settings in BIOS to what you desire. You will see parameters for various devices, if your BIOS allows it, you can even overclock the CPU.

4
Look at the BIOS menu. You will be able to see the make, model, and capacity of your hard drive, processor speed, time and date, among many other settings.

5
Click "exit without saving changes" if you make a mistake, and nothing will be changed.
Hope this will help...Your response is very much appreciated...

this 2007 year PC OLD, has many limits (CORE 2 is one) is this windows 10? 64bit> I bet not its CORE 2 old) I came with VISTA if MS loaded OS, or XP or RedHat Linux? what boot menu are you talking about.? F12? wild guess me, VISTA OS: (now zero support) in windows, we have disk manager, do all devices show up now? this is first, if not here, explorer can not work. lets do the correct order: 1: bios sees my media. (good) 2: then in device manager, it sees them, if not drivers bad. 3: then Diskmanager sees the devices, and must have drive letter or next. if letters missing right click device and add one. 4: explorer (This PC) fails to find it. if above fails sure. easy as 1,2,3,4 order, matters. can't see CD does that mean a disk or the whole drive? cant See HDD, is this HDD0 ,1,2, 3 or? how many HDD do you have, and are there SSD drives there and last what SATA ports are you using, some are limited. here is your DELL.com support page, (12 years later still here) https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/precision-t7400/drivers what HDD fails, does the PC boot at all? my wild guess NO. what OS what OS do you want to run, that be first thing to ask on any 2007 old PC, as Windows 10 will fail here. I Bet. for sure 64bit.

Could be a faulty psu or disk drive - suggest test both
