| 652253 | 2008-03-24 02:55:00 | I have just put a computer together and when I turn it on it says it cant detect media cable. I dont know what media cable it is talking about. The motherboard is a Dell from a GX60. Appreciate the help. | nzjab06 (101) | ||

| 652255 | 2008-03-24 03:03:00 | no, just comes up with that message | nzjab06 (101) | ||
| 652256 | 2008-03-24 03:03:00 | But does the computer boot up and load properly? Or does it hang waiting for the mysterious cable? | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 652257 | 2008-03-24 03:04:00 | Could be the hdd or cd IDE cable, if it doesnt boot | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 652258 | 2008-03-24 03:05:00 | Two things - 1.When you say "I have just put a computer together " do you mean you unpacked it from new and plugged every thing in - all components originals from dell. 2.The motherboard is a Dell from a GX60 ? Was this PC you are having troubles with a fully assembled Dell, or have you got parts from a Dell and put them into another case ? The reason for asking is the GX60 is an old model. |
