  For some systems, you can get Dell operating system through Dell hosted image images

  Note: not all systems and service tags will have a picture available.

  Note: Although Dell hosted Images have USB3, they cannot understand the pilot of TSRI currently. (some may know this the pilot to F6). You will need to install the driver of TSRI manually during the installation process of Windows.

  Dell is currently working to add the driver to the TSRI Dell hosted images. No ETA on when this will happen right now.

• Drive Blu - ray of XPS M1710 in precision M6300?

  Someone tried to put the Matshita UJ-210 of BD - RE Blu - Ray burner in a Precision M6300? Would really like to be able to burn BD in my accuracy and commercial attaché Dell tells me that the only option for Blu - Ray in the M6300 is a BD burner No.

  The drive listed above is identical to that used in the XPS M1710. Don't know what model of car the M6300 is delivered with which is a non-bruleur. Maybe he will not support the precision MB? Anyone see a reason it would not work?

  The other BD burners that I should consider?

  TIA! : bravohelen:

• Upgrade of a Dimension 9150/XPS 400

  I was wondering if someone could help me find the hardware upgrades best absolute for this computer supported.

  Now is that everything on it is stock with the exception being updated from xp to vista.

  Here's the Manual: http://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_dimension_desktops/dimension-9150_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.pdf

  Thanks in advance.

  With the latest bios and pentium D 900 series cpu (up to 960 915) with the copper heatpipe heatsink this system will work 8.1 WINDOWS 64 bit or even 10 64-bit Windows very well. Very modern GPU will have problems.  A R7 of Sapphire 260 X for example don't post and cannot enter setup because the Bios uses commands BACK VESA and newer cards do not support MODE VESA 103 for example.  I have seen this with ATI cards recently, but I suspect that 960, 970, 980 GTX cards will have the same problem.  Yes, as long as you stay with Geforce 740, 750, 760, 780, its fine likely.  I used Geforce 560, 660, 740, 750 TI, 760GT very well. Power supply supports cards that only need 1 6-pin PCI - E.  You can evolve into a better diet, but once again, it would cost more that everything began with a more recent version as the 3500 of precision.  The other thing is that when you upgrade buying a Geforce 740 or 750 TI card will work in a newer system as old. My ASUS GeForce GTX760 DirectCU II OC 2 GB graphics card came with a 2 x 6-pin PCI adapter 8pin.  Worked well in my T3500 Precision T3400 AND because the dell 525w PSU came with the fittings of video feed 2 x 6-pin. The stock power 375w works with cards that only need 1 pci-e power connection.

  WIN8.1 or 10 X 64 WORKS with pentium D 9XX series on precision 380 and XPS Gen 5 XPS 400 with the latest version of the bios and the performance of copper radiator.

  I used to think it was a core 2 duo and the latest version of the bios, but I proved to myself that simply Pressler CPU 900 series.

• 1.1.7 BIOS bug on XPS 13 (9350)

  Hello

  The latest BIOS 1.1.7 on the XPS 13 (9350) which increases the life of the battery for Windows users does not for Linux because of the SSD NVME users not be allowed to access the standby modes.

  At the start, several from ACPI error messages occur (see http://pastebin.com/8E6iXKMM ), here are a few:

  [0.155273] ACPI FADT says the system is not support PCIe ASPM, so turn it off

  [0.185298] [firmware bug]: ACPI: _OSI (Linux) ignored BIOS query

  ACPI [0.870806] PNP0C0B:00: can not the crossing of (unknown) D3hot

  Glances at Arch Linux forums and reddit/r/Dell, it seems that Linux users have not benefited from the last update of the BIOS. My system boots also all other time and the case ends with a black screen.

  No matter what other updates BIOS that we can expect to solve these problems?

  Thank you very much!

• 5510 Precision add hard drive

  I am trying to add a hard drive SSD SATA 2.5 "to my new laptop of precision 5510.

  I need to order the inserter/adapter required hard drive and bumper rails to do this.

  I did chat and phone calls to the Dell sales without success to get the correct part numbers.

  In my opinion, that these photos represent the parts I need. They are drawn from this thread to another owner - 5510

  http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/threads/Dell-precision-5510-owners-review.784464/

  First picture shows the bumper shock side to hold the reader safely in the hard drive bracket - I have the disc and Calliper - and the leap card/card.

  Second picture is the leap card/card.

  Can anyone provide me with the required for any of the two references. The adpeter is the most critical.

  Thank you

  

  

  @Community,

  I can confirm that XDYGX is the cable for the disks of 2.5 inches for the XPS 9550 systems and precision 5510.

  

  3XYT5 is the side rubber insulator (there are 2 of them):

  

  3FDY3 is the HDD bracket (some units may already have this installed):

  

• Problems to breakers 5510 Precision

  I had VERY bad luck with Dell laptops.  Last fall, I ordered the new Dell XPS 15 and he arrived with the bad motherboard and hard drive, which have been replaced and it still does not.  So we go back the order and instead purchased the 5510 precision newly released.  The problems are not immediately obvious, but it soon became obvious that the computer would crash five or six times during an 8-hour work day.  Accidents can be linked to Outlook or Explorer, but he would frequently crash when the computer is completely idle.  We didn't return the computer because we thought that the problem could be driver related, but after update all drivers, we moved on potential conflicts with other software and hardware.  We finally decided to have it replaced, but the replacement had EXACTLY the same problem.  This is a great computer and I have not been able to find all the reports of similar problems, but when we had the same problems with the same machine, I didn't know what to think.  I shall soon return this machine, but I wanted there to be an account of my problems where other people have similar problems.

  It's very interesting.

  My accuracy provided 5510 with Ubuntu.  He has been suspended.  I would be hits a document in say, LibreOffice and the screen would go black suddenly, and that's all.

  I installed Fedora Linux 23, and it seemed to do much better, but it turns out that the problem was still there.

  I thought that the problem was specifically for Linux from Skylake support it is fairly new. I installed Windows 10 pro and all the various dell updated driver.  The machine has suspended several times in Windows yesterday.  At one point, he hung, I rebooted, open Firefox, returned to a web page, just change and he hooked again... but after stop and back again, it didn't hang again.  As my machine did not come with Windows 10, of course I can't support Dell for this... and I'm certainly not ready to return to the Ubuntu installed by Dell either.

  The fact that the problem is Linux/Windows, it seems more related material, or BIOS or something like that... but who knows...  I'll continue to experiment a little more before you have the Dell out.   How long have you since you had your machine back that the problem will not occur again?

• XPS One 2710 - Touch screen DOES not work

  My touch screen is not available on my 2710.  It worked fine for a very long time.

  Calibration is not available... System-> about said "no pen or touch input is available for this view."

  I noticed after I upgraded to Windows 10.   (but this is not necessarily the exact time fell out, I don't use it much)

  Then I downgraded back to 8.   Isn't there.   Figured I might as well go back to Windows 10.

  I did other things within the same rough period.   BIOS upgrade to A12.   Modified by some drivers, etc...

  I tried drivers, controlled at the touch of a cable on the motherboard... but did not have a single not forwards.

  Would love to hear some suggestions or ideas.

  Thanks in advance.

  Rick

  My 2710 XPS with touch monitor WORKS.  I did have a problem at all, even at the Vernissage of builds. I think that the missing element is the Dell OSD Application, which can be downloaded here: link

  I did a clean install of Windows 10, do not know if it matters.  Also, I went and installed all the drivers from Dell as well. I recommend to enter your service tag to get the specific drivers for your configuration.  Select Windows 8.1 in the menu drop-down.

  Since the 2720 is supported by Dell, I also installed some drivers select here.  I don't remember the those who precisely.

• XPS 8300 - Ivy Bridge & RAM support

  I tried looking for a forum, post, comment... anything which confirms what is the maximum RAM supported in a Dell XPS 8300 and also whether Ivy Bridge CPU are taken in charge or not.

  I am yet to find anything conclusive (Please share if you have), so, I did the test myself and can confirm the following:

  • Ivy Bridge CPU compatibility: No.
  • Maximum RAM: 32 GB

  I tested my 8300 XPS with Intel Core i7-3770 processor (8 M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz) and the system would not POST. No beep codes; just would not AFTER. Then I'm under BIOS A06, of course, this has not helped. I read on this forum someone talking about a BIOS A07 which came bundled with their XPS 8300 (0Y2MRG) of replacement motherboard. If anyone knows how to get this BIOS A07 I'd like to get my hands on it to see if it offers support of Ivy Bridge.

  Regarding the RAM, I am running 32 GB of RAM without problem. I use 4 x G.Skill RipJawsX 8 GB (1x8GB) 1333 MHz DDR3 PC3 - 10666C 9 Memory Sticks (F3-10666CL9S-8GBXL). The BIOS and OS the two report 32 GB installed and everything works well.

  I hope someone benefits from my findings and I also hope that someone out there has access to the BIOS A07 is ready to share.

  You already know the answer, but I share this as another data point and using another brand for memory.

  Maximum RAM supported Dell for this system is 16 GB. However, it works very well with 32 GB of RAM. I've used this kit of memory in mine:

  Corsair XMS3 32 GB (4X8Go) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) memory (CMX32GX3M4A1333C9) Fund

  No doubt others works fine, too. The only downside is that most Dells would come with Windows 7 Home Premium installed and which only allows access to 16 GB of RAM. You must have Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition to access all 32 GB of RAM. You can make the Windows Anytime Upgrade to buy Win7 Pro if you want to go this route, it as if by magic basically makes your existing install in Win7 Pro, so you don't have to reinstall anything.

  If you put more than 16 GB in a system of Home Premium, when you right click on computer and go to properties, you will see the memory listed as 32 GB (16 GB usable). So the operating system you will see everything, it just won't let you USE it all. Hard, there is?

  I had looked at this issue and not have anything solid for an answer so I tried myself and write about my success.

• XPS 15 L502X notorious problems

  My L502X, I have spent $2,000 on when it was new (what a huge mistake), warranty ran out last month.  As many people know, this laptop is known for video problem when equipped with an nVidia GT 540 m.  My laptop is no exception (and had its motherboard replaced twice, and it's only because I could go months without playing games, otherwise I had fixed it more often).  So today, I was on the phone to try to get the stupidly high repair costs reduced (my hard drive died too, so I finally had to get my laptop fixed, there has been yet another mother bad for months that I had been turned off of fixation), and two representatives from Dell I spoke said that there is a known problem with this laptop (claiming even check this forum then I was on the phone) and also said that if there is a problem, this Dell engineers remember the laptop and the problem (no, it's what THEY do, not what is actually happening).  I am a computer engineer and do not need to be told that I'm doing a problem; I wouldn't mind at this level for a made-up problem.  When asked for an e-mail address I could send some examples, I was told that Dell does not give e-mail addresses (what?  I used email and phone before).  Dell should have found and corrected this problem in test their product before releasing.  In fact I was offered a L521X at some point (which I didn't because they would give me a weaker system and this laptop is known for problems of limitation due to... surprise!)  heat problems), but I turned down, and I regret it now because I could have sold for more money and got rid of this money and the sucking time of the headache.

  in any case, I'm supposed to talk to the support of higher than Dell's soon, because I can't get an email address, I'll post a large number of examples in one place here on the Dell forums both for my own benefits when I talk to Dell and I hope that as a useful resource to others with this problem.

  First of all, the problem is caused by overheating of the GPU.  If you have a L502X with a GT 540 m and you game on it, it will happen to you eventually.  There are a number of things that people have tried that help contain the problem a bit and make it more manageable (sometimes eliminate), such as undervolting and underclocking the GPU.  This is done by a custom BIOS.  More information (and a lot of people talk about problems of crash of L502X) can be found here (you will see a few other mods as well as disassembly of the dust filter to increase the air flow, adding the heatsinks on voltage regulators, etc.):

  http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/Dell-XPS-Studio-XPS/635536-L502X-modded-BIOSes-download-GPU-voltages-more.html

  Some examples of video of the problem:

  cs_setInnerHtml ('video_2a530158-3000-48ec-abc3-6c84d620fbc1', ");

  http://l502xcrash.blogspot.com/

  I could find more, but you get the idea.

  Finally, just to add insult to injury, since among the people that I talked to said that he could not find any info on this problem in the Dell Community, here's some info on the problem of the Dell Community:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/p/19426371/20022831.aspx (problem claims to be fixed, that is when you get a new motherboard... until this one is too toasted)

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3519/t/19446867.aspx

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19519526.aspx
  I apologize if I have to come off as a bit rude, but I had to deal with 3 years of headaches of this system and have been refused the compromise I proposed (I asked a 14 Alienware and offered to pay 100% of the difference between the L521X who gave me and the system I wanted to) , and I was already told that I might be able to simply retrieve cash from my system.  That proved to be too much hope.  in any case, I hope that some people find it useful.

  So guys, I got my egpu dock and I am currently using an old geforce 9500gt and it works very well so far. The only problem is that dell has in the white list of the wifi port that should be used with this dock, but I will explain everything with this post.

  If you have received your dock, PSU, GPU and you want to plug it in, follow this guide:

  -Boot up your laptop as usual without hang anything or remove anything.

  -Download DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and run it (it would run in safe mode, to do); [this would remove the drivers and files of pilots gtx540m correctly, but take nothing to do with the graphics card intel].

  -Restart your laptop twice (just a backup measure).

  -Once you have restarted and in windows, put the laptop to sleep (Yes to sleep).

  -While the laptop is in sleep, return, cancel coverage to bring up the ram and wifi module.

  -Remove the wifi module (Yes, that's how do you bypass the whitelist of dell).

  -Connect cable mpcie egpu to port wifi and screw him.

  -Do not rewake immediately the laptop.

  -Connect the rest of the components egpu; [the GPU to the wharf, mpcie at the wharf, to the docking station power cable (see the manual to do this and do NOT forget, not to FIX THE 4 PIN CONNECTOR in THE DOCK POWER CABLE I.E. TOGETHER WITH THE 20 PIN ATX CABLE, USE an OTHER 4 PINS, THIS WILL CAUSE A short circuit AND BURN YOUR PSU).]

  -Once everything is connected up the laptop, the laptop screen lights up normally.

  -Go to the Manager of devices and look under graphics cards, you should see some generic driver from microsoft with a yellow exclamation point, do a right click and update (you would need to have an ethernet cable is plugged).

  -Once it ends updates (it takes 5 minutes to 20) it would restart, are not '!

  -Put the laptop to sleep and the mpcie cable out and reseating the wifi module, wake the portable computer and then restart.

  -Once the computer restarts, wait a few minutes so he could properly start and then go to Device Manager

  -In the Device Manager, see the topic "Network adapters" and disable everything below (except for ' Intel Centrino Wireless-N '

  -After, put the laptop to sleep.

  -Once more, replace the wifi with cable mpcie module and then wake up the laptop.

  -You will notice that nothing happens, that's normal.

  -Go to the Manager, devices and look under graphics cards you could observe your GPU is there, but with a yellow exclamation point, you would see the error code is error 12, it's normal and good sign.

  -While in the Device Manager, click on 'view' and 'connection device.

  -Expand "Microsoft ACPI-based x 64 PC" and nested under that be "Microsoft ACPI-Complient system" would expand that as well; nested under it's "PCI Express Root Complex" expand who.

  -You are looking for everything that concerns the old gt540m and turn it off, also find everything about bluetooth and turn off, but not wireless - n. [note, the stuff for the gt 540 m could be nested under its own thing, turn off this whole tree that nests the gt 540 m].

  -Once this is done, close Device Manager, put the laptop in sleep mode then replace the cable mcpie with wifi module and restart.

  -After restart, wait a few minutes and put it to sleep.

  -Replace the wifi with cable mpcie module and wake the portable computer; do nothing at this point, wait a few seconds and your secondary monitor would start to display a screen.

  -At this point you have set up your external GPU.

  Things to note:

  To go between your GPU and your wifi module, you must put your laptop to turn it on and sleep (this is why everything about wireless-N was not disabled). You try to start the laptop with the GPU already attached would not work, everything would be empty, but again your laptop seems like he wants to do something. Error code 12 is related to lack of resources for the new component PCIe be ran.

  If you are looking for a simpler way of this external GPU configuration, there is a software called Nando Setup 1.3 that simplifies installation without the need to disable anything and for sleep constant exchange of GPU with wifi module, you can also start with the GPU already set by using the software, but it costs US$ 25.

  If you use a recent card after 2010 and nvidia, you can use the laptop instead of an external display screen; However, I advise to use one during the installation procedure. BUT, by using the internal form would reduce the performance of the GPU at about 30% less, is because the way mcpie is more saturated.

  If you guys have questions, do not hesitate to ask, I will try my best to answer.

• Why Dell does not 14 XPS and Inspiron 7000 14

  Really, I bought months ago that my laptop but I couldn't decide if a 13-inch or 15-inch. For 5 years, I was used to 15 in laptop and I think it's the best size, and I am determined to keep this size.

  If you think that 13 is very small, and I use glasses so I don't see in this minimalist form. On the other hand, 15 inches is a big brick! I need power and screen but not weight.

  Does not have why Dell XPS 14 or 14 precision? It would be nice.

  Thanks for your replies.

• {a} speaker on a clean install, XPS 410 - Spware Possible problems / Malware *.

  I recently did a clean install on my XPS 410 due to blue screen problems when you set up a wireless network in my house.  Everything seemed to go well--is something that I did several times on multiple computers, this one included.  But this time my speaker system (Dell A525 30 Watt stereo speakers with subwoofer 2.1) obviously caused a problem.  I have the drivers for all my devices on my external hard drive, and they are labeled.  The driver for the loaded speaker system but was still yellow in Device Manager.  I also kept getting the message directly after loading windows: "entry point procedure LocalizeString is not found in the dynamic library STLang.dll."  I could click OK and continue. Slowly.  I looked on the net and find it is quite frequent - everyone seems to have a way to heal, but there are always strings, and none of them work in all cases.  One thing all agreed terms of sound equipment.  And it was the only yellow marked item, I had.  In fact, he showed in device as Manager: "SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC".

  I became exasperated to the point I disconnected the sound system and removed from the room!  I have attached an old Dell speaker system and it worked for a few sounds and then stopped.  Finally, I removed the original system, as shown just on top, using Add/Remove programs.  After the message has disappeared so I am sure it was the problem.  Then, when I couldn't others in work, I decided to restore to the point just before I removed this system 'SigmaTel '.  Fake!  Of course, he came back as did the error message and I have been unable to get these old speakers installed no matter how hard I tried!  (I don't have the driver for that precisely, but the required system to come with something that didn't work).  Again, I tried to uninstall the SigmaTel program but it wouldn't let me!  It would take me to a Web site that was of no use to me.

  In its current form, I spilled the system restore point and the SigmaTel is gone as is the error message.  But I have no system of his work on my 410.

  Any ideas out there?  I was a member of this community almost since the first day and have had excellent results in the past.  I bet that someone knows how to help me.  (Anyone remember Denny Denham?  I know he's not there to help more. Always wondered what happened to him.)

  Thanks in advance.  Bessie

  It is up to you, but analysts on sites like SpywareInfoForums, SpywareHammer, Bleeping Computer, Geeks to go, The technical support Forumsand MalwareRemoval Forums, in contrast to support tech OEM and other forums, are trained to stay with you to the resolution and to remove their tools (assuming that yields of poster for tracking) so that they do not remain on the system to help you "trouble." They probably perform you analyses to one or two who will spot (hopefully) corresponding to this registry entry. After that, they will give you a registry file that you can download and double-click to merge with your registry. This should solve the problem. We have used to do this free individual support here, but Dell abandoned a year ago.

  I wish you luck for any route you choose to take.

  Kind regards

• XPS-200 [and Dimension 5150C] memory addressable issue...

  I have a question on a very old PC - Dell XPS-200, Intel D 820 2.8 GHz, BIOS A07 - I am fixing to the top for a friend. Windows 7 Professional installed a 64 bit version of the operating system and properties system reports it as a 64-bit system. However, it shows that, although 4 GB of RAM is installed only 3.2 GB is used which is a message that I expect to see on a system 32-bit.

  As the Council and the processor are both 64-bit components I am at a loss as to why he is not seeing all of the 4 GB of RAM. There use a graphics Radeon HD 5450 and BIOS is set to allow only a very small amount of RAM so I don't think that's it.  According to the Intel chip plug the CPU has a 64-bit set statement and supports the extensions of physical memory on 32-bit, which allows him to address more than 4 GB.

  It seems to work OK and I know that if push comes to shove I can install a 32-bit system. But I understand why it is not recognizing all of the RAM and if there is any kind of patch/fix/update available for this machine that allows him to recognize all the 4 GB of RAM.

  When the XPS-200 [and Dimension 5150C] was introduced at Christmas 2005 were not a lot of choice of 64-bit hardware, so it came with a 32 bit OS, but I see he got an update of the BIOS in January 2007 which I would have guessed had to add extra CPU/RAM support but I can't find anything that describes what the A07 update was intended to do.

  Other suggestions from trash, use 32 bit, etc - I already understand these options :) - I hope that someone has enough technical familiarity with this machine/architecture to respond definitively to know if there is anything I can do to get it to recognize all the 4 GB of RAM.

  Thanks in advance for your help,

  PENTIUM D 945 chip sets not 5150/E510.   However, it will work well for 64-BIT windows 7 8 or 10 in a precision 380.

  Full 4 GB or 8 GB is fine precision 380 with 955 X chipset.

• Video commentary of XPS-13 (9343)

  I used my new XPS13 for a few days (version i3) and the graphics look unusually rough against my Precision 390 about 10 years. Are the new laptop graphics really not to my old desktop graphics card performance (FireGL V3400, I think) - or have I missed something? I really don't think that the speed of the video is much better than my old Asus netbook...

  What is a Windows thing? A graphics card thing?

  Precision 390 XP with 4 GB of RAM

  XPS-13 Win 8.1 running

  In general, I'm happy with the new computer (it's a beautiful thing) - but am I asking too much to be able to watch Youtube videos?  I can live with some slow... but the videos are virtually unwatchable. I had more accidents today in Firefox than in my previous life.

  I does not solve the problem. The problem (for me at least) was the computer is limited to approximately 0.6 GHz speed from the factory to run at 2.2 (I have an i3). If you do some research, there is a thread on this forum that talks about this problem.

  This seems not to be intentional Dell, since they have released an update of the bios that solves the problem.

  Your solution (if this is indeed the problem) is either:

  1. update your Bios to A03 (search on Dell.com this) - which corrects this problem. The A03 update updated my computer with A01, A02, as well...

  .... Or...

  2. to set manually is easy. Go Power Options | Advanced options for the power management that you use and then scroll to "Intel platform thermal and dynamic framework parameters. Open it and then open "Config TDP level" and you will see 2 options (at least on the i3 without Bios Update)... one for 0.6 GHz and 2.2 GHz. If the 0.6 GHz option is selected change to option 2.2 - and your problem is solved! This is what works for a model i3... I can't speak for i5s or i7s.

  I hope this helps...

• Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook L321X (no expandable memory)?

  I noticed that the max for the XPS 13 (L321X) memory is 4 GB, and that memory is soldered on the motherboard. Is this true? Why do this? I looked forward to past the 8 GB or 16 GB.

  -R-

  Very little ultrabooks have expandable RAM - it does not work.

  The slim form factor requires parts of low profile - which means that the RAM and CPU are all two hard soldered to the motherboard.  The other main benefits for system providers are cheaper production costs and built-in obsolescence (thanks, Apple, from that!).
