A possible PCI expansion card failure has
occurred.
Determine if a conflict exists by removing a card
(not the video card) and then restarting the
computer.
If the problem persists, reinstall the card that you
removed, remove a different card, and then restart
the computer.
Repeat this process for each card. If the computer
starts normally, troubleshoot the last card removed
from the computer for resource conflicts (see
""Resolving Software and Hardware
Incompatibilities" on page 24").
Move each card one at a time to a different PCI slot
and restart the computer after each move.
If the problem persists, contact Dell.
