These exploits are difficult to be used in practice for regular users so itвЂ™s your decision if the performance penalty is worth it for you.ДЇor more info on why updating Haswell microcodes is a good idea, read this:ДЄnyway, you should try a different method of flashing the BIOS. I would rather flash BIOS A15 (dated march 2017, the last version that does not include these mitigations, which can be found by clicking and expanding the вЂњ VersionвЂќ section on the download page of the BIOS on DELLвЂ™s support website). So any motherboard BIOS with updated CPU microcodes from at least this date has added a bunch of patches/mitigations that can negatively affect your raw CPU performance. In January 2018, the first wave of exploits were found for pretty much every modern CPU (Meltdown and Spectre), especially older Intel CPUs. The latest BIOS for your Optiplex 3020 (A20) was actually released on June 2019, but you may want to flash an older version to have slightly better CPU performance. While the Optiplex 3020 motherboard only have the common CPU 4-pin and the proprietary 8-pin connectors for power, it's still based on the ATX specs (for example, it still uses PS-ON and POWERGOOD), so you can keep using the Thermaltake PSU for peace of mind with your 1050TI. While that Thermaltake is an average PSU at best according to a quick Google search, I think it вЂњshouldвЂќ be better than a stock/original DELL PSU it has a newer design and higher current on the 12V rail (the only one you really need). Thanks for any reading about PSU recommendations around here I read some of your posts and then I found this topic I just registered to give you some suggestions to help you solve your problem. System has been working fine for over a year, but my seagate green drive just STB and is forcing me to re-evaluate the entire system. Only the ATX connection using an adapter to the old style MB power plug.

Looking at the power connections now, I see the header marked : HDD_ODD_PWR has nothing connected. If memory serves, I recall having some question as to the power connection. I replaced it with a Thermaltake 430W Smart Series supply. Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction of a possible fix, perhaps it's a bad jumper setting. If I hit reboot, it shuts down, but again, just sits there.

This PC has always exhibited a strange behavior in that it never fully reboots on it's own. However, once I click start, rather than seeing the nice progress bar, the screen flashes to off, no signal from PC and it just sits there.

The BIOS update IS able to find the update file. The BIOS update file is on a USB stick formatted to FAT32. The process I am using it to hit F12 and using the BIOS Update Option.

exe BIOS update files for every version in between. I have a Dell 3020 desktop that is stuck at BIOS ver A02. Having exhausted all my options, I figured I'd stop by Tom's Hardware for guru advice.
