The round male plug is the older style PS 2 plug. The rectangular plug is the newer and more common USB plug. Just plug it into any of the corresponding ports on the front or back and that's all you need to do.

Ensure that your Graphics card is connected properly, you may clean the contact fingers with tissue paper. If however you don't have a graphics card then you can put it down to bad drivers in which case you would download the latest of the net, use google, or heat, your computer may be getting too hot. Install as many fans as possible and clean your computer of any dust. Dust attracts moisture and can cause short circuits. My published guide entitled My Computer is not turning on!!! Is it dead!!! No POST!!! may help in this case, hey there is always some-thing to learn.

Thanking you

How far does it reach before it restarts itself? Upto Windows Splash Screen? or before that? What is the operating System installed on your system? i.e. windows xp or vista or etc..etc... In the first part, it seems a hardware issue, but when I read "Once it's running, it's good...." it seems application issue. I can't make sure right now. We need to diagnose and do some analyses.

The first thing you can try is "Safe Mode", boot into Safe Mode several times and verify whether the problem persists or not. If the problem persists, you need not to do anything, but if there's no problem booting into Safe Mode, then uninstall installed programs which you could reinstall later, clean the system's registry files, delete temp files (use this program to do those cleanings [Click Here to Download]). Uninstall and reinstall the Antivirus Program or any other security programs like anti-spyware [never install two or more antiviruses on a system]. Now try again and check whether this helps or not.

Also disable all the Start Up programs except Microsoft's programs, restart your computer and try again. To do this, press "Windows Key + R" [Windows key = the key on the keyboard with Microsoft Logo], type in "msconfig" [without quotation marks], press enter, click "StartUp" tab and then "Disable All", click "Ok" and again - restart your computer several times. If this doesn't help. Then the problem must be with the Windows or the Hardware(s).
Let me know the result so that we can proceed........ All the best.

You can search the CPU Z software,
and installed the software in your pc.
than go to the Motherboard option and
see the motherboard no. than search the driver
in the dell web site by the motherboard no.

If your computer still works with its internal hard drive, I would say the issue is with the external drive. Try to backup data, then run check disk on it with the option to repair/fix errors it finds. If no luck, try to completely reformat it. If the external drive was purchased as new August of this year, it should have its own warranty of at least a year. This means, if it is faulty, you can get a warranty replacement for it. Just provide the order number or sales invoice number for the drive as a proof of your purchase in the event that you need to get a replacement for it.

i hope this helps
