Dell Inspiron Power Problem
.... I don't have time in 3-4 seconds. Huh? Actually Renee, that was a very rude comment about Leo, you won't get much help if you are rude to the people who are helping you and answering questions. Please post this in the Dell forum I mentioned above. That's where this question belongs.Miguel Fra / Falcon IT Services Computer & Network Support, Miami, FL Visit our Knowledgebase and Support Sharepoint Site

I've don't know how. The Dell was brought to me when I was in the hospital for a year.... I don't have time in 3-4 seconds. Renee

If Leo knew hardware vs software problems he'd know the problem is a hardware problem and not XP related at all. I thought I made it clear that the systen only stays up for 3-4 seconds. Renee The only thing you've made clear is that you don't remotely understand the basics of either PC's or choosing the right forum. This is not a Microsoft issue nor an OS issue. Take some of the severance pay they gave from DEC when they downsized the cleaning crew and buy a new PC.Ctrl+Z

Adam, Not only do I understand computers but I was a top-flight engineer while you were still wearing diapers. Again no one asked you or thinks highly of your opinions. You bothered to enter this communicatation and essentially you interupted a conversation, Dave said you were obnoxious and I would agree with him. And you are wrong, applications developer. I'd like to remind you that you were the first person banned from this forum. "This is a hardwre probrem and is NOT an XP problem in any way." I said so on the seventh. Renee

I have an old system on what has been a reliable Inspiron 9100. I used the system for testing my software on XP. Today the Inspiron has developed a power problem. I know the battery is bad (and an obvious thing to do is to remove the battery). The system will just above boot showing the xp boot before goes through a boot death and it light sout. The power failure startd when the lights go out. Oh yes, the Dell is on it's chrger. I know the charger hums and a little power charges enough to get close to booting. Now I have taken the battery out and it stays alive the same amount of time and poops out in darkness. Renee

Hello, Does it exhibit the behaviour in safe mode? If not, you might have a driver problem or malware problem. This can be anything ranging from corruped data, to a bad hdd, to bad RAM to a mainboard problem.

It doesn't get to a "mode" in the booting process before the lights go out. Renee
