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

If not data on the flash drive I suggest try reformatting the drive to remove any malware

Many Dell can be a bit funny about exactly what RAM they will accept == check what other owners say on the Dell website user forums ..

At power-on, use F12 (or F8) and select 'Repair' ... DO NOT let it 'reformat' your drive or you will loose everything .. If that fails, you may have to choose 'Factory Restore', but this will re-install Windows and you will LOOSE EVERYTHING !! SO == if you have another PC, I suggest move your disk drive to that other PC and copy off all your photos/music/videoa etc you don't want to loose before doinbg a Factory Restore ..

It's simple. If you still have a problem please take a look at manual in pdf file for this dell t3500. You can find it here for example: User manual for Dell T3500

Windows 10 is new and still in testing phase, new patches are released to fix bugs almost everyday. try running an update, make sure your hardware was compatible and the OS is installed properly, you do have the option to roll back if you want to. call 1-877-805-1027 for expert help.

PCProtect is malware. What is PCProtect exe . I would boot up in Safe Mode again, or Normal if you have to, and bring up Task Manager again (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and check to see if explorer.exe is running. If not, Click on File in the Task Manager toolbar, select New Task (Run), and type explorer.exe in the Open box and click OK. If all goes well, your icons and Start Menu will appear and you can start cleaning up. Otherwise, you could try again and type appwiz.cpl in the Open box to bring up the Programs and Features to remove any bad programs you may find. Malware removal can takes years of experience, so I will leave it at that to try for a starting point.

Boot the node up and go into the bios settings, its either f1 or more common f2. Look to see if the hdd is listed. If so try to boot up. If that fails it's time to do a little diagnostics. Get another hdd of the same type and plug it in to see if it boots up. If it does then get a new hard drive. Just something else to try before putting the 2nd hdd in, take the cover off the computer and locate the hard drive and unplug the plug back in the ribbon cable and power connection.

Remove the BIOS battery, wait a minute the replace it

Hi, It is unfortunate that the computer is not turning on. Request you to try following the below steps which might help:

(1)Turn off the computer. (2)Remove all the external peripherals like AC Adaptor, flash drives, battery, etc. (3)Press and hold the power button for 30sec which releases the static on the computer (if any) (4)Put back the battery and plug in the AC Adaptor. (5)Let the computer charge for some time. (6)Try turning on the computer. If the computer doesn't turn on then check if the computer gives any series of beeps or if there are any diagnostics LEDs on it. Thanks and Regards. Kiran Kumar. #iworkfordell.

Need more info about your computer to answer your Question

you may have electrocuted motherboard if you did not stay grounded while putting in power unit. touching MB while not grounded can cause really bad issues. if cpu heatsink fan is not spinning when power on, then that would stop boot up. if graphics card boot files corrupted then no boot either. check to see none of the capacitors on MB are swollen at cross+ top. if they are bulging then they could have blown stopping power from reaching MB. things you need to check. also, ac adapter may be bad.

Your Windows 2000 cd might be damaged.

Why? Buy a new power supply.

Do you know what socket your motherboard has? What is your Express Service Code on the back of your machine?
