  Brand new XPS 8900 Win 10 won't turn on, flashes yellow 2 times power made a break of 7 times pauses then resumes.

  I've not seen a chart explaining flashing power on the 8900 XPS button codes. And there is nothing in the Manual.

  You need to contact Dell tech support immediately. You have 21 days from the date of billing (no delivery date) to pick them up. And then you can order another.

  Otherwise, technical support should work with you to solve the problem under warranty on this system.

  If you are comfortable working inside the case, it is possible that something got its place potted during shipping. Then you can try reseating the RAM and PCI-e cards modules and cables between motherboard and drives and connection etc. Don't forget to read the instructions on the inside of your PC use in the manual before opening the case.

• Compatibility M.2 SanDisk SSD X 400 with new XPS 8900 and cloning issues

  I just got a new 8900 XPS running and ordered a Sandisk X 400 1 TB SATA III M.2 drive for her.  I know, adding that a PCIE SSD with adapter would be much faster.  But I'm not a gamer and concentrate more on edge backup and storage.  And the new Sandisk card gets good reviews and should give a nice speed boost.  This will be my first attempt at cloning of a new boot disk and install an SSD.  I went through the forum and found some good information.  A few questions...

  One of the sons said that an SSD with the B and M keys (like this one) may not work.  Searching the Web I found no comments from anyone who has tried this particular SSD in a new XPS desktop.  No compatibility issues?

  Another thread has been posted problems with starting the XPS 8900, when you add a new disk, but the updated BIOS to 2.1.3 seemed to be the solution.  I confirmed that my machine already has this version of BIOS.  Once again, any concerns?

  My plan is to clone again SSD in the computer using Acronis or other software, then set as the boot drive in BIOS.  Is there a reason to delete the operating system of the C: drive, thereafter, or can just stay as a backup if problems occur with the SSD?

  I have already installed a few programs including MSOffice 2007 and Windows Essentials, so I can use the machine, but otherwise it is always very clean.  When I do the clone will be these OK execution since the SSD without much messing around?  And they will have to be uninstalled from the HARD drive?

  Thank you!

  I'll answer some of my own questions.  The M400 Sandisk SSD drive arrived today and I found a screw M2x4 at Ace Hardware to install it with.  Installation was super simple.  I used a pair of pliers to hold the small screws in place and then a Jewelers screwdriver to fix it.

  He seemed to take more time for the first start that made me nervous, but all loaded without any problems.  I rebooted and that you press F2 to get into the BIOS and the new SSD was there!  And then let the computer loads Windows and checked Device Manager and it's still there!

  As expected the reader not yet appear in Windows because it was not formatted.  I used under Computer Management disk management to initialize the disk.  And now I have a new drive I: 935 GB free.

  So far so good.  Seems like the M400 Sandisk should work perfectly.

  Next step is to clone.  Always blazing new territory for me... when the drive is cloned it will remain I: or it will be C:?

• New XPS 8900 with 1 TB of Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 errors

  Bought, new system XPS 8900.  After less than a week, already affected by HARD disk errors.  Checked with Seagate, downloaded the tool so that the updates of the firmware.  None is available.

  Yes, the system is under warranty and support, but the point here, because I hear repetitive as of late problems with faulty Seagate hard drives, I'm not the only one?

  Seagate (1 to) # ST1000DM003-1ER162

  Personally, I always use the WD Black drives.  But that's what gave me.

  Any thoughts or additive?

  -Update-

  After installing an mSATA SSD and try to configure Intel RST to use as cache SSD, I found that the installed version of RST was causing system problems and establishment of acceleration would not occur.

  After a brief visit to the Intel Download Center, I found an update for Rapid Storage v14.8.0.1042.  I installed it without problems, and since all the software and hardware problems have disappeared. Then, I was able to complete the configuration of acceleration for the SSD cache drive.

  In addition, HARD disk errors have also stopped.  I would recommend this updated version.

• New XPS 8900, restarting itself

  Hello

  I just bought a new desktop XPS 8900 computer rendered 25/05/2016 and restarts itself.  No new hardware installed or the program with the exception of World of Warcraft and Ventrilo.   Just really started using this machine last week because I've been very busy after his arrival.

  I search the web and he says that he may be PSU related issue.  It's under warranty, but no idea why a new computer restarts it self?

  Thank you.

  Susan

  Windows 10?

  There are several reasons possible, hardware and software: PSU, RAM or HDD problem, overheating, corrupted the OS or other software...

  Just restart? All the errors on the screen? You can look in the Windows Event Viewer for errors at the time of an accident that could point you in the right direction.

  If you bought directly from Dell, I think you have 21 days from the date of the invoice (not delivery date) to return to contact Dell Tech Support as soon as POSSIBLE.

  If you got in a big box store, you can probably return/exchange it under whatever policy they have. So go.

  Whatever it is, don't forget to reset Windows to the factory image, before return you it.

• Adding an SSD to a new XPS 8900 - the games begin

  I recently bought a new 8900 XPS of Costco. I bought an Intel SSD 240 GB 535 and wanted to use it as a boot drive and I was going to format and use the 1 TB came with the PC as a storage device. Initially, I cloned the drive OEM to the new SSD. This worked not so great - slow time - about 35 seconds of startup.

  I did a clean install of Windows 10 and tweaked the settings of the UEFI. Computer started without the OEM disc hung at this stage. Current start time is about 26 seconds. A little more than 18 seconds of playing with BIOS/UEFI. None of the changes to the BIOS seemed to make any changes. I was going to live with that, but I have 2 laptops to win 10 that are to start in 11 seconds and 8 seconds. I had just about everything responsible for appropriate programs.

  Then, I started with the hanging OEM drive and the boot SSD drive. I went to the OEM drive format and startup I'm met with screen ePSA error error Code 2000 - 0723 - hard disk - drive detected... (which apparently is not a code that recognizes Dell?) Continue to hit, I'm on the desktop. I already had the installed Intel SSD Toolbox and optimized the SSD drive. I did a quick diagnostic analysis on the SSD and it reported no problem.

  Restarted the PC and press F12 to run the tests in the Dell Diagnostics. I now see an error code 2000-0142. It indicates there is a hard drive with the new SSD failure. I have restart beyond the error message and make the Intel Full diagnostic Scan. Intel shows no problem. Hmm? I turn off the computer and unplug the SSD and starting on the OEM disk. I get the same screen ePSA that already displayed, press to continue and I'm at the office level. Reboot, then run tests, the hard drive now and it passes all other tests. I turned off the computer, removed the power cord, the CMOS battery and the power button. Back together and clear the log files. I'm met with the same screen ePSA error code 2000-0723.

  I have an another SSD - 240 GB of SanDisk. I unplug the drive OEM and plug Intel and SanDisk. I cloned the Intel on the SanDisk and only to the SanDisk card. Same screen ePSA opens, but now the diagnostics Dell passes all the tests. I run the Intel driver update utility, which displays no update. Device Manager displays all operational systems.

  If you have done so far, I appreciate it. :-)

  Questions-

  Reference Dell sees something he does not like with the Intel SSD, but Intel said it works fine. I could return it, but I think that there is nothing wrong with the hard drive. I don't know what to do next.

  How can I get rid of the warning of the ePSA? It appears little matter what hard drive boots.

  Is there an other BIOS/UEFI which is available? I've pretty much exhausted the changes and 18 seconds a looong time appears.

  Thank you!

  SSSANTI - good news! error code 2000-0723 has gone through an update of the bios dell version 2.1.3. Check the support page for the download file.

  A word of warning - update not gotten too smooth I would have thought. I ran the exe of the BIOS and let it do its thing - when he finished update, the computer is for restarts itself, and it seemed as he took in a loop - it would be marketing and then shout down before the splash screen. He made several times - I almost unplugged the machine. Finally, it starts at the start-up screen and then end the initialization up to windows - everything was fine. I rebooted a couple of times and even made a cold start to ensure there are no problems and everything seems OK.

  Disconnected a hard drive test, rebooted and no mistake - FINALLY comes

  FYI - it seems that it starts a little faster.

  Hope this bios update resolves your problem as well.

• Compatibility card mother Benicia with connector power button on the new case

  Depending on the configuration of the connector of power button, HDD connectors and light power connector on the new case, you may need the connectors changes.

• Addition of 16GB to new XPS 8900

  Have not yet opened my new (just released) XPS8900. He ordered withb16GB of RAM and have ordered 16 more RAM for a total of 32 GB.

  My question is do I have to configure the GET first, the computer running, then installing the extra memory?  Or install additional memory before I ask first?

  Thanks in advance!

  It fits very well install RAM after the fact. The BIOS should detect the change and configure it accordingly. Windows can simply display a message about RAM and Windows Experience Index.

  If you change your motherboard, at the very least, you must make a
  Repair the installation. And in some cases, this is not enough and you
  need to do a clean reinstall.

• Laptop card mother size and structure question

  Here of another question, I have acer aspire 4755g, and in this series, they have a lot of different types of processor but it still have the same shape and design. If I want to replace my old motherboard with a motherboard latest and modernized, my old one so intel i5 and gt540m 1 GB of ram, I want to replace it with the new motherboard coming with i7 and gt540m 2 GB of ram, I checked that the motherboard was of the same type in terms of chipset and version in some of the series of line acer4755g , so what worries me is that I'm afraid if I use the new motherboard does not correspond to my laptop, I want to say I'm afraid that the alignment of the screw will not be the same in my laptop, so I need some, it will be ok if I just buy the new motherboard for my laptop? has anyone have the same problem as me? anyone ever change their motherboard with a newer version and it can still work perfectly?

  link on acer 4755 g - http://specificationslaptop.blogspot.com/2012/05/acer-aspire-4755g-intel-core-i7-full.html

  Hello mangaboy190,

  It's me again!

  The Aspire 4755 G comes in 4 colors: Brown, black, red and green.

  There is only a single lower lid for all models.

  As the motherboard is mounted on it, the distance between the mounting holes are identical.

  Two motherboards and a low cover so...

• Is XPS 8900 1 TB HDD to Samsung SSD upgrade - a sound plan?

  I'll be unboxing my new XPS 8900 this weekend containing a 1 to drive HARD and Windows 10.  My ultimate plan is to add/replace this with a SSD from Samsung 850 (probably a 1 TB) and have a clean install of Windows 10.  Based on this goal and what I've gathered online, my plan would be as follows:

  1. 8900 start and activate Windows 10 (for Microsoft servers recognize this license on my PC
  2. Create a bootable media Windows 10 (probably USB) MS direct downloads
  3. Download and install different drivers from the Dell website for 8900
  4. Install the SSD
  5. Perform the clean installation of Windows 10 for SSD using bootable USB; install the necessary drivers gathered in step 3.
  6. Re-enable windows 10 license with MS according to the needs (what is automatic as recorded in step 1?)
  7. Remove the original HARD disk or reformat for use as secondary drive

  Issues related to the:

  1. The flaws with this plan?
  2. Any reason, I can't do without various applications/utilities Dell coming more in this process?
  3. Any reason why I can't get all the required drivers via a combination of Windows (automatically) and manual downloads of the Dell site?
  4. A reason to keep the recovery on the original HARD disk partition?
  5. No reason to use Alternatively Samsung cloning feature instead of taking my steps above?

  Any thoughts would be most welcomed.

  Thank you!

  Hi Ronin777,

  Your plan sounds good to me. My personal preference in this situation would be a clean install of the operating system, but you also have the option to create a set of recovery discs or a USB flash drive and restore the image of Dell for the SSD. This would be certainly faster. Then you would still have the factory image for later use.

  Have the recovery partition on the original disc, for me, is not important because you have the recovery discs or flash drive.

• Adding memory to the desktop XPS 8900

  Hello, everyone.  I got my new XPS 8900 i7 6700 for two weeks and I will do my best to not be negative. It has a large hard drive.  How is that?

  I looked for the record because I won't have what it will take.  I think, if ever, I decide to sell it, I'll have all the memory on board.

  I thought that I had a 32GNB the value chosen and then discovered that it was not compatible, so someone would give a few suggestions that ARE compatible, please?  Thank you very much.

  Thank you, I have found that since my post and ordered them.

• AHCI disabled on desktop XPS 8900

  I installed a new Samsung 500 gb SSD 850 EVO in my new XPS 8900 to my boot drive. When I select AHCI in the BIOS to work with my SSD, I get a message INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. After some research, it seems that AHCI is disabled and only the RAID is available. In order to optimize my SSD, I need AHCI enabled. How do I do that?

  Here's a post on another forum-

  Activate the AHCI after installing Windows

  You can also do a search on Google for the words there are other methods involving the modification of the registry. You can also reinstall Windows and update the UEFI before you start the reinstallation.

• Dell Studio XPS 435mt does not - light light orange card mother

  I had my Studio XPS 435mt for recent years and love it! Normally I leave my machine on almost every day all day so I can access it remotely. Well, today my power went out (the product is connected to a good surge protector) and now it won't turn back on.

  When I plug it in there is a green light to the rear of the machine and internally, there is a orange light, which lights up. When I press the power button nothing happens, not even try to power on. I read a few forums that suggest all of a new power supply, a new motherboard and even a job to 'put your motherboard in the oven' random.

  So my question is can I do anything to check what the problem is? Also, if it of a motherboard problem and needs to be replaced, where is the best place to get a motherboard? Reference Dell sells to them directly or I have to go to a 3rd party to track down?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  A type of power surge Strip does nothing to protect the PC during a power failure.  You need a 'UPS' unit to protect the PC during short power outages (most).

  As he ran, anything could have happened to the power supply to the motherboard to a component on the motherboard.

  As you have the power to 'keep' alive on the card mother, indicated by orange LED, power supply works somewhat.  Unplug the power connector 24 pins on the motherboard.  Then the rider GREEN wire to a BLACK wire and see if the power turns on (fan running).  If it does, it does not say the PSU is good (only replace it with a known good power is the only true test for a power supply), but it does not say the rotation of the problem is not in the power.  If it does not start, food is the likely problem.

  If the power supply lights the other most likely problem is the motherboard.  Reinstall (unplug and plug back in) the prior panel connector on the motherboard and then give it a try. If it still does not respond, the motherboard is suspect.  The power switch, itself, would be a very remote problem.

  Dell is a source for a replacement motherboard.  There are sites that sell Dell used/given to nine motherboards and ends up with a google search.  Only another mother of exact replacement fit and work.

  Finally, regardless of the tests do or anything that seems as it isolates a certain part, unfortunately only to replace the part really tell you if it's bad.  To avoid buying something you don't need you can make to a PC repair center renamed to what is really wrong.
