BIOS Recovery Utility

If your computer loses power and beeps constantly but does not boot when
power is restored, the

BIOS

settings may be corrupted. However, these

symptoms can be caused by several different problems. Before you restore
the BIOS, check the

beep codes

and

diagnostic lights

to see if a specific

problem is identified. Otherwise, perform the following steps to restore the
BIOS:

1

Turn off the computer and disconnect it from its electrical outlet.

2

Go to a different computer that is working properly, and download the

BIOS update utility for the computer from the Dell support website.

NOTE:

After you download the BIOS update utility, generate the BIOS

recovery utility. To generate the recovery utility, you can use any
functioning computer. You do not have to use a computer of the same type
or model as the malfunctioning computer.

a

Go to http://support.dell.com.

registration.

Click Downloads for Your Dell.

Service Tag Number

for the computer or select the
