Dell 780 Problem:
Mark,
Thoughts, suggestions? A quick search (DELL 780 beeps) turns up this: http://ebay.redplanettrading.com/des...M_DT/diags.htm Look under "beep codes" and see if you recognise the pattern. .... It could well be that your 'puters memory has become unseated (hopefully just that). Regards, Rudy Wieser

Dell 780 Problem:
Thanks for the link,.
from the diagnostic lights it looks like it's a memory module problem. I may have unseated one when I bashed into it or something. What do you think? I don't have any spares. Thanks, Robert

Mark,
from the diagnostic lights it looks like it's a memory module problem. The beep code will give you a bit more certainty to that. I may have unseated one when I bashed into it Quite possible. If thats indeed the case than re-seating it (removing and placing it back) could solve the problem. Regards, Rudy Wieser

Dell 780 Problem:
I just re-seated both RAM modules
and now it came back with more beeps (hard to tell a sequence) and the number 1 light is lit which indicates no memory modules detected. I made sure I push the clamps down on each end when re-seating the modules. Thoughts/suggestions? Robert

Dell 780 Problem:
As I said, the beeps are hard to
follow but If I read the beeps correctly I have a master DMA register failure. That along with the 1 diagnostic light lit indicating no memory modules detected. Robert
