[Baron_3]

Hi i have a dell insperion and The Stock Dell Motherboard that is in it i tried and moved it into a gaming pc case. All the holes line up right, all the wiring is right but i get no signal to anything when its in the new case but when its in the old case everything works perfectly fine. could someone tell me why?

**ALL FANS AND LIGHTS WORK TOO IN THE GAMING CASE**

may look over dell forums for any tid bits of info ?? like then proprietary headers and fans ??

Ive looked up the info for the connects and such before hand so i know how to wire it all correctly. Im just wondering if my Mobo maybe will only work in this dell case? The only difference in cases is the back side of the motherboard at the top is showing because there is a hole there(for wiring im assuming) so im just wondering why it wont work in this new case.

don't know you dealing with dell and there proprietary ways , and why we do custom builds and not prebuilts . they got there tricks and like I say

in the end any upgrade you do is all your own risk . the prebuilt manufactures only guarantees there computers work as sold to you as is out of the box from there factory with what they put on it , not a drop more

there in business to sell you whole ready to go computers , and dont worry about you upgrading them or giving you support to do so . thats not how they make there money they prefer you run to wal-mart and buy there ''better'' latest models

I was looking it up to see if anything was on that but so far nothing but like what I posted

by the way did you see in that one link about the dell fans and how they work in the dell bios ??

''You may also have to use the same CPU fan and case fan because Dell fans typically have a sensor in them that is checked by BIOS at boot. If BIOS doesn't see the sensor, you'll get a "Fan Failure" error every time you boot.''

so now you wonder what else its checking and failing to boot ???

see you put it back in its dell proprietary home and its all good and boots right up as you say it does .

most folks trash the dell motherboard and replace it with a real one

Sounds like a problem with the leads from the front of the case.

Even if the fans triggered bios, in this new case, nothing boots up at all. i would get some error message if that were the case.

well it works in its proprietary dell case properly , but not in aftermarket case ??? welcome to dell ..

once more

''in the end any upgrade you do is all your own risk . the prebuilt manufactures only guarantees there computers work as sold to you as is out of the box from there factory with what they put on it , not a drop more ''

anything over that is your own risk .. then I sure hope you not planning anything nice for a graphics card upgrade along with all this ?? may be your next surprise to come

I'd be hitting them dell forums hard to see your best answers will more then likely be there on any workarounds - tricks - what will work and watts found not to from dell gurus over the years on dells from dell users

se if any from this can help
