If it were me id take my £250 and buy anew mobo, case and psu and say good riddance to Dell. Lots of people swear by em but i have no time for them at all. I know this dosent answer your problem but i think your just going to end up getting no where and end up forking out at some point so id save the stress and do it now. The_DADDY
