[GLLUG] dell computer

[Julie Code]

Charles,
          Yeah, if i can get it to work it would be really cool.  The 
computer just beeps when I turn it on.  Then it says processor fan 
undetected, then it takes me to a setup menu that has like F1 F2 F3..... 
Caleb keeps on telling me that I shouldn't turn it on anymore because it 
could fry the processor or something else.  But that is pretty much where it 
takes me to is F1 F2 F3 menu.
