Wizard Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 When I start up my Old Dell Dimension 4700 I get an error on immediate startup which says ' X300 SE 128MB BIOS P/N -113' Whatever this means I know it is something to do with the motherboard I cannot boot into BIOS or load windows normally please help anyone.

KenB Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 X300 SE 128MB This is your Video Card if I am not mistaken. Take the card out and try booting the machine. ( obviously you will have no graphics ) If it doesn't boot take the RAM out too. If it still doesn't boot take the CMOS battery out for 30 seconds then replace it. ( + on top ) Try again.

Wizard Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks It loaded up but now I got to the Dell Logo screen and the loading bar freezes and will not do anything past that any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote
KenB Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks It loaded up but now I got to the Dell Logo screen You are not giving me much to analyse here. "It loaded up" ............ I suggested a few options ..........Video Card / Ram / CMOS battery What have you tried ? What worked to get the system to "load up" ? We need detail if we are to make any progress.

Wizard Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 It was an issue with RAM I got past the loading screen and everything seems to be fine I just need to install fresh windows. Quote
