One word, Proprietary components.
Oh Power Supply blew? Wanna replace it? Sorry, DELL PS only, no third party will interface with it. Price? oh about 3 times a third party performance PS would cost you.
Motherboards done? Sorry, DELL ONLY! The tower/motherboards combo will only mate with each other...and again, u dont wanna know what the cost of replacement is.
I think that's two words.
I have replaced Dell parts with generic, I do it all the time for my church. It may take a bit of work, but it can be done.
Now the SFF machines are a different story, for ALL manufacturers, that's why I don't use them at church.
I have even replaced the motherboards with other brands. Three "Dell" PCs at the church use Asus motherboards. Once you figure out the Dell connectors it's no big deal.
still using my 13 year old webtv. maybe i should keep it. but webtv is down to 400k users from 2 million, so i have to be ready when Microsoft shuts it off(they bought it 10yrs ago as it was a threat)DAND214 said:Build one today and replace it tomorrow. That is what is happing in computers today!

Demons are back. Everything was great for about 3 weeks. Today Windows Fax and Scan will not openmarty said:Load Fail Safe Defaults is the way its always been. I never changed anything. Will continue learning about "processor clock speed".julesa said:Cycles is just referring to processor clock speed. Try this:
Load Fail Safe Defaults
Save and Exit Setup
If that keeps your system stable for a while, you might eventually want to read up on Toms Hardware and overclockers.com (not to mention Reading The Fine Manual that came with your board) for some tips on how to tweak the settings of your specific hardware to improve performance while keeping stability.
"Load optimized defaults" will probably return your settings to the way they were set when you first built the system.
If that doesn't help, you could try opening a ticket with your motherboard vendor:

Thanks for the help!

Edit / Correction...... BIOS might have been set to Load Optimized Defaults? Just changed it to Load Fail-Safe Defaults as you recommend. Sorry about that.
