Simple fix found in the settings.
Dell Dimension SFF

The motherboards overheat
because there is little room for air flow.

This customer was getting a thermal error.
After opening the case, I found the heat sink on this video popped off.
This usually happens when the unit gets banged or dropped.

(In case you did not know: USERS LIE)
Bottom Line on thermal errors:
Always look at heat sinks and/or fans.
