Optiplex 9020: PC will not start after easter holiday/ Summer time change (?)

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 07:04:34 -0700

Hi! After a prolonged easter holiday I came home and my good old 9020 would not start. It is power but I think the first error message had something to do with time issue. We went to summer time here in Norway while I was away. (One hour forward from regular time) I got someone to put in a new SSD Drive (C drive) when I bought the computer second hand several years ago and there is also a second operative system on another drive, win10 on both. But neither will start. Have seen online that maybe the CMOS battery could be an issue? I feel reluctant to try and go into the bios.... No experience..... If I try to start the computer, the repair program starts right away, but after a couple of rounds the power button turns yellow and it seems dead and I just have to “pull the plug” I am using the computer for many things including Cubase and music production and I am hoping of a solution... Anyone? Of course greatful for any help!!!

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 07:30:28 -0700

When I turn it on, the light is a steady amber with no beeps. However, the operating system does not boot even when the cables are secure. I think that it is an issue with the power supply or the motherboard, but I'm not sure. If it helps, I have Ubuntu version Noble Numbat. I have successfully booted Ubuntu before, but one day it randomly stopped working

Alienware X51 R2: Weird PSU light shuts down and PC doesn't boot

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 12:18:53 -0700

So a few days ago I woke up to my computer being in a hibernating state to which I tried to wake it up with the mouse but it didn't work. The lights of peripherals were on and the Power light of the PC so I tried to turn it back on with the power button to which it shut off.

It started turning on and 2 seconds later turns off and the PSU cord which has a blue ring light shuts down while the PC is off when it turns back on is when the computer turns on too.

I removed GPU it isn't it, I removed the HDD and it handled a few seconds more on but it kept on shutting down, then I removed both RAM sticks and reseat them but they were not properly seated so the computer Mobo started beeping twice for (No RAM Detected) but it stopped shutting down, then I tried separately in different slots and no Luck. Tried replacing with the original RAM sticks and it did the same thing as the newer ones.

I even tried different configurations like for example:

no RAM no GPU and no CD Drive with HDD only and with the HDD it beeps twice for no RAM detected but it shuts down quickly right after the beeps the first time and then it shuts down right on the second beep. So the HDD and/or the RAM being seated are doing the same things.

My mobo is model: 0PGRP5
