    Have you tried a different video card? Does it have a video card or is it on-board video?

    We bought a bunch of those small form factor Dells about 4 years ago and they're all beginning to drop like flies. Those small cases just don't allow enough airflow to cool adequately. We've gone back to mini-towers.

    Regarding the power supply, I did try to check and clean the pins. Then I purchased another power supply for the thing and that didn't work either.

    I believe the video card is on board on this one. I don't see any place where there is a detachable card unless I am missing something. I didn't think of the airflow problem until I actually had it in hand and was thinking the same thing. Seemed to get hot very quickly when using it to most of it's potential.
