Re: [SLUG] Dell GX1 Optiplex Wont boot

Thanks for the ideas, still no joy at this stage. (I'd give up if it was just the one box, but it's happened to both of them so I find it hard to accept that I've got a simple component failure). The video is on board, ATI 3D Rage. There are no other cards in the box. There are two jumpers on
