My pc wont switch on, the power light just shines a yellowish colour instead of a normal green. When it does boot up. It freezes after a minute or so. I previously had viruses on my harddrive, but, i had it scanned and cleaned. I also re installed windows. Its a Dell gsx 280 pc. The previous o s is still there as i didnt format my harddrive. Please help, thanks. |

Turn on (or restart) your computer. When the DELL logo appear s, press F12 immediately. NOTE: If you see a message stating that no diagnostics utility partitio n has been found , run the Dell Diagnostics from your Drivers and Utilities CD (optional). When the boot device list appears, highlight Boot to Utility Partition and press Enter.
