Through questions like this, interviewers are mostly trying to test your skillset (and its relevance to the role) as robustly as possible, so be prepared for multiple offshoots and followups. It could be a useful exercise to do mocks with friends or colleagues in Dell to get a real sense of what the interview is actually like. Alternatively Prepfully has a ton of Dell Client Technical Support Associate experts who provide mock interviews for a pretty reasonable amount. prepfully.com/practice-interviews Less

I would surmise that there is no OS on the system or a hard drive or video card malfunction. I'd reboot the computer and go into BIOS setup. There I would make sure that the harddrives are found and the video card is functional. In most BIOS', the host OS is listed. If all are fine and dandy. Then I would see if there was an onboard vga port I could change the monitor and check that. Less
