So, bought the above to be a cheap to run as a media server, but I thought it a bit more sluggish that I expected. When I benchmarked (CPU-Z & UserBenchmark) it had terrible CPU scores (single core described as barely able to handle email and light browsing - 24% - on UserBenchmark). 6%...

Hi everyone, I recently bought this Optiplex 9020 MT and upon turning it on I am met with a screen telling me "no boot device has been found". In diagnostics it says no problems found, however it also says no Hard drive found. I have a ssd plugged in with the correct wires. Any help? Thanks

I got my hands on a Optiplex 3040 SFF and it's flashing a 2+7 Amber light. I looked up what that means, it says that I need to flash BIOS. Is there any way I can do that without buying additional hardware?

I bought a Dell Optiplex 990 the other day. The system has power but doesn’t show a post screen or a display output. The display port detects something is connect but nothing else. There is no beep codes or led error codes as well. Any suggestions? I have tried Clearing the CMOS Reseating the...

i know this maybe such a goofy question , however i see that these optiplex's can now be transferred into an entirely different case , is it possible to maybe lets say put a 9010 or 3020's optiplex's motherboard into my optiplex 980?

That the motherboard supports? Here is a CPU-Z validation showing the motherboard and etc https://valid.x86.fr/8k0rr3 from googling it seems a 1155 socket (tho googling it also shows a 1156 socket weirdly?) but pretty sure its 1155, so curious to what this board supports, I'm on the latest...

I have a Dell 9010 sff. I ran AIDA64 and noticed that the 3rd gen i5 never drew more than 30-35 watts. Is this normal for SFF Optiplexes? Does Dell throttle the CPU like that? (for my purposes, it's a retro gaming rig, so that's perfectly fine). Main reason I'm asking is because I found a...

Hello everyone, I hope you can help me with my problem. I have an Optiplex 7010 SFF, with 4GB of RAM. The PC worked fine, but when I installed Windows 10 on the PC, I got a BSOD, it happens I think after the first reset and just before the creation of the user. The PC still works, but it can...

My Geforce 1050 Ti and Dell Optiplex 9020 combo was working fine until a couple of weeks ago. The graphics card has stopped giving a signal when booting.
