Solving Problems

 

If you encounter interference that hinders 
reception on your computer

 — An unwanted 

signal is creating interference by interrupting or 

blocking other signals. Some possible causes of 

interference are:

Power, keyboard, and mouse extension 

• 

cables.
Too many devices connected to a 

• 

power strip.
Multiple power strips connected to the same 

• 

electrical outlet.

Memory Problems 

If you receive an insufficient memory 
message — 

Save and close any open files and exit any 

• 

open programs you are not using to see if 

that resolves the problem.
See the software documentation for 

• 

minimum memory requirements. For 

assistance, contact Dell  

(see “Contacting Dell” on page 63).
Run Dell Diagnostics (see “Dell Diagnostics” 

• 

on page 46).

If you experience other memory problems 

— 

Run Dell Diagnostics (see “Dell Diagnostics” 

• 

on page 46).
Contact Dell (see “Contacting Dell” on 

• 

page 63).
