Give them the diagnosis return code and have them deliver hard drive.

Insert DELL Operating System CD in bootable CD drive. Install and partition operating system.

Goto Device Manager and find any yellow question marks on devices. These devices are missing drivers and most of them can be found on the DELL Utility CD and newer ones can be downloaded from the DELL support area.

Next install Drivers from the DELL Utilities CD.

ALWAYS LOAD CHIPSET DRIVERS FIRST.

Then the video and the rest.

Make all of the yellow questionmarks go away.
