Hey everyone, a year ago I installed a Dell OptiPlex 7050 SFF with a compact GPU. It works fine most of the time, but occasionally I face some odd problems. When I power it up, Windows sometimes throws random errors—like the 6400 code, iGPU warnings in Device Manager, or both. This leaves me with no output and forces a restart. I’m not super experienced with power supplies, but since this unit has an 180W PSU, I’m wondering if that could be the cause. Or perhaps there’s another issue at play. Could it be worth putting it into sleep mode temporarily until I resolve the problem? Thanks for the info!
