Did you install the correct sound driver for that Dell dimension?

I am working on one just like this one. No video, from either the vga or the svga ports. Trying to see what is needed to replace and reboot the cpu. Any help will be welcomed.

Thank you

it it appears to be working (fans spinning lights on but no video.) it could be bad ram or bad CPU or bad videocard.

check and see if the computer speaker is plugged in... usually it will beep a code at you to let you know what the deal is if its the cpu or ram... but not always.

if the speaker is connected and not making any beeps at you, suspect the CPU. try removing and reinserting it. remove and reinsert the video card. AGP is notorious for bad connections.

check you motherboard for swollen bulged or leaky capacitors. google "bad caps" and see what they look like... you may have a half dozen that need replacing.

otherwise start shopping for a used dell... there is a side thread about swapping to a dell computer in this thread here a few years back.

Hi guys working on restoring my team challenge. I purchased a gx280 the only issue I’m running into is it’s a SFF and has only one IDE port so cd rom is ide but HDD isn’t. Is there a solution to this at all? From what I’ve read I need both cd rom and HDD to be ide and I know very little about ide connections so any help I would appreciate so much.

I Got Problem with Championship I

[nipsmg]

My team challenge PC died long ago. I've been digging around with a Dell replacement PC and having very little luck with the imaged hard drive I dropped in.

I was wondering three things that might help.

1 - is there any automatic driver downloader software for Windows XP? I've got some miscellaneous drivers I can't seem to find and I think they are the reason my PC will boot and load PGA tour, but button presses don't work.

Not that I'm aware of.  Are you in the facebook group?  That's your best and probably only resource for the necessary drivers.

2 - if I can't get things to work, can I update the PC to windows 7, then still let PGA tour auto-boot and such?

No.  This definitely does not work.  I don't believe you can upgrade from XPEmbedded to 7.

3 - if nothing else, could I do a fresh clean install of XP or Windows 7 and install the PGA tour software separately?

No. Doesn't work that way.  there's too many dependencies.  Again, there's a very, very manual way to make this work but it's not 100% stable and it's like a 100 step process.

Quick question folks. I am running a GeForce 7900GS in my PC I'm trying to work up to use in my setup. If I recall there's a specific driver I should be using? I searched and didn't find any info or links. Can anyone confirm?

Edit - NVM, found it moments after I asked.
