• Dell XPS 8700 replace / add mSATA SSD

  I have a new Dell xps 8700 and I put in an mSata 500 GB SSD, planned on getting 2 TB hard drive and simply run the pc of the ssd. My problem is the operating system. I have the recovery disk and the disk from Dell drivers. the pc came with Windows 8.1, I upgraded to 8.1 Pro with Media Player. I don't think that the Dell disk will do a clean install of OS 8.1, and I'm not sure to recover the operating system and disk set, since I upgraded to 8.1 PRO. I don't really have a problem with just the Windows 8.1, and then do the upgrade again. I think maybe even the simplest would be to try Windows 10 on it, I ran beta Windows on other computers. My Question is that I have upgraded to Windows Pro 8.1, I'll be able to get the full version if I try to recover / and with the correct product key. or do I use the recovery disk, and then try to make the OS drive / and collect the key?

  If you create recovery discs using Dell software, it will install windows 8.1 as if you bought the computer fresh from the factory with all the software that Dell gave you etc.  You then upgrade to windows 8.1 pro via the same method as you have done before, however if they gave you a product key, you should be able to just pop that in and make the upgrade.  You could make an image of your HARD drive, then run everything on the SSD by cloning the drive for the SSD.

• XPS 8700 and Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 OC graphics card

  I saw a thread on here stating that the AMD Radeon 7870 was compatible with the XPS 8500, so I guess that the overclockee of this card Sapphire version would work in my XPS 8700.  I inserted the card into my computer and connected the two power connectors 6 pins.  When I rebooted the computer, he made five beeps short and then put under tension (without the Dell splash screen, I think).  Restart again (and hear the same five beeps), I pressed F2 to enter the BIOS, but it wouldn't let me get into the BIOS.  The third time that I restarted, I just let it start and then after about half an hour of use, the computer is frozen on a blue screen (not BSOD). I turned off the unit and do not have reverse.

  I chatted with a few guys from Dell, which said that the five beeps meant that it was a problem of compatibility of video card, but he could not say more than that and pushed to me to contact Dell sales to buy a compatible card (no thanks).

  Anyone can check that the five beeps are told?  I hate to have to return this card to where I bought it and I'm not sure I can.  I get beeps if there is a driver problem that I'm missing?  Or beeps always mean a hardware problem? I'd get a beep if my diet was too weak?  Other thoughts?  Someone at - it no good they know maps work on the 8700 XPS?

  There was many problems reported with some video cards and the XPS compatibility 8300, 8500, and now the 8700.

  Make sure that you uninstall the drivers for video cards before you remove them and put in a new card.  Make sure that the power supply is disconnected and you have pressed and held the power button for at least 15 seconds.  You can also try to remove the CMOS battery.  Then install new video card, replace the battery and plug it back the power cord.

  In addition, connect the monitor to the integrated graphics card and restart.  Press F12 or F8 to access the Start Menu. Under the Start Menu, there should be a 'Change Boot Mode Setting' setting. This parameter will have the possibility to turn UEFI Secure Boot on or Off, change it to Off.  It is a common problem in Windows 8 that occurs when you try to add another video card due to conflict with Secure Boot and new motherboards UEFI where you post or get the beep codes.

• Dell XPS 8700 - secondary SATA Hard Drives don't appear not

  I tried to install two additional hard drives on my new XPS 8700. The machine came with the primary drive connected to the SATA 0 and the DVD drive connected to the SATA 1. When I installed two additional hard drives, I put in the SATA 2 & 3 ports. Hard drives appeared in Windows (8.1), nor in the BIOS. I played a bit with ports SATA 2 & 4 and 3 & 4. Hard drives are not recognized. When I looked in disk management, they weren't there. As a last resort, I unplugged the DVD player SATA cable and plugged the cable on one of the secondary hard drives (which was then attached to the SATA 1 port) to connect the DVD player to the SATA 2 this drive cable port. When I started my computer, all drives have become visible. I don't know why. SATA cables I used comes from a 5 year old computer (like hard drives). Was it a problem with the cables, or is it a problem of SATA port? The first disc hard school should go in port SATA 1?

  I searched the forum and couldn't find a similar problem (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19520798.aspx). Eventually, the person back to his computer.

  alexsyseng,

  for the most part, you are right. I had this same problem as well, but I already had the a06 bios. the problem is with the uefi bios feature. its ment to be safer, but causes problems when adding disks. I tried your suggestion to change the secure boot options, but it does not work for me. I found the solution by chance when I went from uefi boot inherited so that I could use my cd discpart of secure erase my ssd.

  so here's the solution, whenever you add a drive, you will pass the bios in legacy mode, then return to the uefi mode. If your computer came with windows 8 then more than likely your bios is set to uefi. When you switch the bios the legacy of your desire to computer error and you say that he has not found any what boot drives. No worries, switch to that return to uefi, reboot and now your system will start properly and all your disks will be visible in the windows and disk management. no need to replace your motherboard. Unfortunately, I spent two hours with tech support and they didn't know that either.

• XPS 8700 - incompatibility eSATA card

  Hello

  I have read elsewhere on the incompatibility between a Dell XPS 8500 and a PCIe 1 X eSATA card that the user had installed.  The user declares that the card was not recognized by Device Manager and thus went inoperative.  I don't remember the problem is resolved.

  Of course, I didn't read about this problem when I too lived the same problem on my XPS 8700.  I installed a new card eSATA PCIe 1 x slot and Bingo! -absolutely nothing.

  I don't think that the PF to this problem are relevant because the XPS specification is concerned there is no card on board.  Updated XPS to update its BIOS bit after I ordered new computer (about 2 weeks).

  Does anyone have any ideas or solutions to try?

  Is that what someone else has similar problems and, if so, Dell "on the case"?

  Best regards

  Mike

  There are 2 questions and none of them are associated with Dell.

  Safe Boot must be off CSM and legacy with Roma option on.

  The card must be PCI-E version 2.1 or 3.0 to work. The power supply of the bus and clock speed are not compatible to 1.0 or 2.0.

  OLDER PCI - E 1.0 and 2.0 cards will be "seen" because the PCI-E bus will not downclock to version

  1.0 on the X 1 slot.

• Please help trouble Code 43 error graphics card for XPS 8700 (as well as the disappearance of sleep/Standby Mode) (Windows 10)

  I got my XPS in 2014 and my warranty of service completed in 2015 Jan before I installed Windows 10. So since I've upgraded to Windows 10 I started having problems with by XPS 8700. Now, I have no guarantee. I thought he would go better once they have released an update of the BIOS and it did for a while unfortunately in recent months, I noticed two major issues.

  (1) upon the starting and restarting my computer, my monitor does not end up receiving the signal from the computer and remains dark.

  -Checking that it is not a problem with the monitor by testing with other computers

  -J' checked in the Device Manager and there was a next yellow alert for graphic cards / NVIDIA GeForce GT 635

  -By clicking on, he showed me this: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

  Unfortunately, it is not the only problem with the graphics card.

  (2) "sleep" my mode is gone (it is related to graphics and BIOS).

  -J' tried the go in power to add setting but it was not yet listed.

  -I went to the command prompt and looked powercfg.exe that's what I discovered:

  C:\Windows\System32>Powercfg - a

  The following sleep States are available on this system:

  Hibernate

  Quick start

  The following sleep States are not available on this system:

  Standby (S1)

  The system firmware does not support this standby state.

  An internal system component has disabled this standby state.

  Graphics

  Standby (S2)

  The system firmware does not support this standby state.

  An internal system component has disabled this standby state.

  Graphics

  An internal system component has disabled this standby state.

  Graphics

  Eve (S0 low idle power)

  The system firmware does not support this standby state.

  Hybrid sleep

  Standby (S3) mode is not available.

  Now I really wish I could start or restart my pc without staring at a blank screen and the problem of code 43 with Nvidia GeForce GT 635. Also, I would if I could have the option to upgrade my PC to sleep. I really miss it and do not have to constantly reboot my computer to be able to see anything on the monitor.
  

  I hope someone can help me with these questions without having to reset the pc and reinstall, all over again, that the problem still exists in other cases (I don't have a copy of the installation of programs pre-installed dells so...). This computer is only 2 years old, it didn't need to be retired.

  NVIDIA GeForce GT 635 (PCI\VEN_10DE & DEV_1280) the card is physically wrong and needs to be replaced.

• GeForce GTX 970/980 on XPS 8700

  Hello, I have XPS 8700, which came with OEM GTX 745. I think it passes to the Geforce GTX 970 or 980. These word on 8700 XPS video cards?

  I am particularly concerned, because system recommended for 970 power is 500 W to nVidia's specifications, total power of XPS8700 is 460 w. Has anyone installed GTX 970 or 980 on 8700 XPS?

  Hey Ryocchin,

  The GTX970 or the GTX980 will work in terms of being able to connect through PCI-express port.  Where you might encounter a problem is with the physical size of the map.  I know that some 970 models can be 12 inches, I guess the 980 years can grow according to the solutions of cooling for these exotic cards.

  The other piece of the puzzle is to replace the power supply.  A 460W pourrait be authorized as a basis of suppliers GPU their system requirements on the assumptions made about the power draw of the entire system & always shoot a bit on the high side.  But if your computer is a few years old is probably not turn off 460 watts.  So I recommend a new power supply.  EVGA, Corsair, XFXm and Antec have all been good for me over the years.  If you want to simulate a modular PSU that you'll save tangles of cables.

  So those are the two big things to look for: physical space for the graphics card (although I'm sure that a XPS8700 will hold a 970 without problem a lot) and a new power supply.

  The Dell service manual is here if you want to get an idea of what it looks like to replace components:

  I hope this helps!  Let us know what other questions you might have.

• XPS 8700, out-of-box speaker 5.1 audio problems

  I had ongoing audio problems since the purchase of my XPS 8700 8.1 desktop system of 64-bit Windows on January 15 and set up with my speaker Altec Lansing 5.1 system existing. The strangest thing happens when I play audio from different sources.

  When I use YouTube programs and music of Windows, Dell MaxAudio Audio Pro software plays audio perfectly thanks to 5.1 speakers. But, when I listen to music via iTunes or try to watch a movie from a DVD factory in my factory installed DVD player, the audio plays through my two front speakers.

  In addition to the issue with my 5.1 speakers, I have constant audio noise/hiss through my speakers. But, it is stranger than most of the time when I move my mouse quickly, I can hear the movement of the mouse in my speakers. The 'mouse noise' is minimal, but you can certainly hear coming from the speakers.

  I spent the greater part of the past month trying to find a solution to these problems - especially the sound of hissing sound coming from my speakers and iTunes music only 2 front speakers and not my sub or rear speakers (sometimes audio will be same break in iTunes).

  I had no chance whatsoever to find a "fix for the problem of iTunes/5.1 speakers, so I'd appreciate any help on this. About whistling noise emitting speakers, here's what I what I met so far, but I have yet to try it (this solution came from Google):

  SOLUTION: Go to the Realtek site (www.realtek.com.tw) > click on downloads in main menu > click on High Definition Audio Codecs (software) > accept the advice > download 64-bit Vista, Windows7, Windows8, Windows8.1 driver only. Version R2.73. I clicked and downloaded the link US2: 64bit_Win7_Win8_Win81_R273.exe (103MB). I then ran the installation program which required two reboots to install completely.

  ITS OWN PURE! The hiss is now gone when listening with my speakers. Moreover, the Dell Audio MAXX Audio Pro, which is delivered on the Dell XPS works always. I don't know what hidden feature, I could have lost, but I consider that it is resolved.

  Someone has already tried this solution but who has experienced similar problems than me? I hate to be "Jackin ' ' autour with new software download and edit the factory specifications on my brand new computer. But I want my computer to work properly with my 5.1 system speakers, which worked well with my previous Dell desktop computer which was in the process of Windows 7.

  One last question, can someone please clarify for me if the Dell Audio MaxAudio Pro software is a product of Realtek? I sent a support one or twice with the solution (Google) I listed above, but nothing but crickets from Realtek Realtek. Customer service poor, to date.

  I thank you in advance for any help and solutions/workaround solutions, you can suggest.

  It is their integrated (Realtek ALC3861 audio 7.1) product with an overlay software from Dell. So yes, you must use their site to get the latest audio driver. Our driver is very old, 20/11/13. I used the same audio driver of detail on my Alienware X 51. Works very well. I added instructions in the FAQ.
  * Go to the top of the Audio card to the desktop computer
  * Open Desktop Audio FAQ
  Open the Office PC Audio drivers
  * Read "Update Realtek HD Audio"

• Dell XPS 8700 - technician Dell beat the Audio drivers

  Was originally a XPS 8300, he had problems and replaced by a 8700 XPS Dell.

  Other than having to blow on the operating system and install 8.1 on the SSD instead of the mechanical drive, I thought everything was working correctly.

  Come to know that I have static detach audio from the motherboard. Troubleshoot-performed on mine... two different monitors with speakers and a 55 '' HDTV LG. Static on each of them with two different auxiliary cables. Then connected to the monitor and LG TV via HDMI to my video card and voila... a crystal clear sound. Not static.

  Dell has decided to try to solve my problems of its motherboard remotely by phone and basically broke my Audio drivers. She has uninstalled the driver and tried to reinstall and now he repeats down in big red letters.

  When I click in Device Manager there is not an explanation mark... it's just appearing as a generic «High Definition audio» description Before that he was showing the Realtek Audio driver as it should.

  Dell sent a replacement motherboard and the technician just installed it at home but they cannot always get the driver to install properly and she wants me to blow my BONES together. Ugh!

  Everyone knows these before driver with integrated sound hardware XPS 8700 problems and if so, how should I do?

  I would avoid blowing my PC if I can, I just went through the pain of a data migration and install OS and program news.

  * Uninstall the generic "High Definition Audio" device in Device Manager
  * Go here and do the automatic update of Intel
  * Reset
  * Realtek the only update from the same page
  * Reset

• DELL XPS 8700 - adding a new hard drive

  Small question:

  Is it possible for me to add another internal hard drive of my computer XPS 8700? If so, other than the new HDD, is there other additional parts that I need to buy?

  Thank you.

  You should be able to, you may need to buy an additional SATA III (6.0 GB/s) cable to connect the drive (if the drive you buy is not equipped with a cable. Also, until you buy make sure that you have a SATA port on your motherboard.

• How internal big hard drive added to XPS 8700?

  Desktop XPS 8700
  Latest version of the Bios
  Win 7 64 bit

  (1) I want to add a second drive, a disk of 5 TB storage in a XPS 8700. How big of a hard drive inside can accommodate of the XPS 8700?

  (2) the MBR, this storage 5 TB disk boot disk will be TPG. Do I have to keep each partition of the disk of 5 to less 2 TB or I can exceed this size for one or more of the partitions?

  Thank you

  Hi I456kle9p,

  Yes, it should work provide your Intel RST is the latest version. And with GPT, you can keep one big partition. Worst case, a car cheap controller will allow any player to work.

• XPS 8700 adding Second hard drive

  Hello - I bought recently for a XPS 8700 and I would add a second 1 to HDD - like this:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822148840

  This HARD - ST1000DM003 - drive looks identical to the factory installed HDD in my XPS 8700 - SCSI\DiskATA___ST1000DM003-1CH1CC47

  Is - this HARD drive identical or close to my OEM HARD drive?  That's fine with me.  I didn't need a lot of space - just need a backup disk.

  1.) do I need a HARD drive caddy any?  I did not open the folder again. I do not believe after looking at manuals online, but wanted to be sure.

  2.) these screws will work to set up the second HDD in the cage?

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817998092

  3.) cable SATA which should I buy?  Manufacturer, length, type, etc.

  4.) is feeding OK with respect to capacity with a second HDD?

  Thank you. !  Sam

  Update - I installed the internal hard drive, which I purchased from Newegg.  8700 XPS recognized the drive.  All I had to do was to format the drive.

  Here are the things I bought.  The XPS 8700 is equipped with a stand to hold the second hard drive.  Thanks Bev.

• p2714t and xps 8700

  Can I install p2714t on my new xps 8700 special edition touchscreen monitor?

  Yes, you can. Strangely, these two products have even been sold together in some cases: (external, not associated with DELL, Web site for reference only) http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/dell-cis/view/938987/?page=0

  As a general rule, all what you have to do is install the drivers and plug it and potentially to calibrate.

  Not know if you have any questions or concerns about its use in the community. Each different configuration system AHS and your 8700 is not the same as the world 8700 if sometimes complex issues may arise. :)

• XPS 8700 + Radeon 5770 does not

  Just got a XPS 8700 and decided to put my gcard of my old system in because it is more powerful.  Radeon 5770, when I put it in I get nothing.  The monitor does not display anything.  I put back it in my old system, and everything works fine.  Is the 8700 XPS somehow simply not compatible with the card Radeon 5770?

  Any suggestions on a map of decent price I want to consider?  If the XPS 8700 for some reason any cannot support any powerful graphics card I can just return.  Very strange that the card doesn't seem to work.
