hello, I need help on my Dell PC. I have a Dell Dimension 5150 that when I try to turn it on, it gets stuck on the Dell logo screen. I tried hitting the F2 and F12 but it does nothing and it begins to beep after a while of hitting F2 or F12. I took off all hardware except, motherboard, RAM, CPU and PSU.
Now the weird thing is that when I take it all apart, which means cpu out of motherboard and take off RAM sticks, then I put it back together again, it works fine. the Bios Runs very slow though. But when I try to restart or I turn it off and back on, the PC gets stuck on the Dell logo screen again. I took it apart again and put it back together and it worked...This time it went straight to windows with no problems. But again, I try to restart and it gets stuck on the same Dell Logo screen.
What could be causing this problem????? I really need help. I'm thinking it's the motherboard but it seems to work fine when i take it apart and put it back together again. So at this point i don't know what's wrong.
