• Dell XPS 18 windows 8 tiles and CD key issues

  Greetings,

  I just buy Dell XPS 18, i3-3227u, 4 GB of Ram.

  -When the RMB (right button) on a tile, I can see a checkmark appears briefly and disappears.  I don't see any option to remove or install new tiles.  Am I missing something?

  -Where can I find the keys to Windows 8 CD installed on my system?  I look at my Dell app and quick guide provided without result.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  To get your key of Windows 8 use the VB of MS script

  http://Gallery.technet.Microsoft.com/scriptcenter/backup-Windows-product-key-1a200645

  Depending on the application you are trying to install the uninstall is not available. Probably these are programs by default Windows 8 as the camera application.

  Another reason from what I saw was that the applications do not provide an uninstall of all (poorly written) application.

  To remove or add new tiles, go to applications (in the main of scroll down screen), right-click on the application and click on what you want to do.

• Dell XPS 8500 needs new motherboard; All recoverable parts?

  Okay, it looks like my Dell XPS 8500 which is only 2.3 years needs a new motherboard.  I was quoted $350 to fix it (90 day warranty) by Dell.  I asked Dell how much it would cost to return the warranty once I fixed it and it is $ 200 per year.  Not sure I'll go along with this.  A local technician gave me his estimate and it's $250 parts and service which includes 90 day warranty.

  Rather than take the option repair, I think to recover the coins for my next computer purchase.  My XPS 8500 has 12 GB ddr3 sdram [1, 600 mhz (2 gb x 2) + (4 x 2 GB)] and a 2 TB hard drive and the hard disk of 1 TB (from 8000 of my XPS Studio who died after 2.5 years).  All other recoverable parts here?

  All models Dell that are compatible with the latter?  8000/8500 are no longer sold.  Dell sells XPS 8900 8900 SE using DDR4 Rams.  I don't know the compatibility of the hard drive.  Dell Outlet still sells XPS 8700 expandable up to 10 windows, which uses ddr3 chips and is is compatible with the hard disk probably.

  Should not be XPS.  Actually, I prefer not to buy another XPS because I had this terrible luck with them.  I think maybe like OptiPlex business models which can have options of compatible extension of hard drive and RAM.  Anyone direct me to the configurations of these models?  Thank you.

  Some confusion here. There is none of these models as Studio XPS 8500. Amazon is the inscription incorrectly. There's a XPS 8500.
  The 8500 XPS and Vostro 470 use same motherboards =.
  XT4TM = card mother NW73C, DPK for Windows 7
  TXKR9 = card mother NW73C, DPK for Windows 8 home
  CTJCD = card mother NW73C, DPK for Windows 8 Pro

• Dell XPS 8900 System Desktop Computer "freezes and crashes.

  Recently, I bought a desktop computer Dell XPS 8900 with system Windows 7 professional responsible pre OP. The first thing I did was to make a list of list of all components of the system, the date and version of each. Then, I went to the Dell website, enter the number of computer and created a list of all the updates from Dell for this computer. Then I downloaded and installed all updates component except the update of BIOS that was the same version but there was no date for her.

  I have known hang ups and freezes since the beginning of the use of this computer and I keep having the same freeze and hang ups.
  With the number of complaints for the same problem, regardless of the operating system, you'd think Dell management and sales would recognize that there is a legitimate problem with this computer and assign their engineers to research the problem and issue a recall or a fix to the XPS 8900 users. I am a long time professional computer with more than 45 years in the it community. I always trusted Dell and their products recommended to family and friends, but also contacts in the it community and potential buyers. Dell can either acknowledge the problem with this product, and take appropriate corrective action or they can ignore the problem that won't go away, but the buyers of Dell products will be when the word gets out. I feel more comfortable buying or recommending Dell computers or for anyone.

  I am a computer programmer as well.  I seriously think to change my loyalty to another brand like HP.  It of outrageous they basically ignore the question, without taking into account my emails and means "Well" in phone calls.

  Hover over the HP forums if you think it's better there.  Lenovo also has their forums. So tell me what all the roses 'out there '.

• Dell xps 8500 replacing GPU

  I have a dell xps 8500 and I think to upgrade my GPU of my radeon hd 7570 to a MSI GTX 670. However I've heard things about the bios does not not with some graphic cards. My bios version is Dell Inc. A09 if anyone could tell me if this GPU will work it will be very appreciated.

  You can go to this thread HERE.  Some raise the GTX 670, but nothing was ever confirmed.  For other cards like the MSI GTX 660, apparently a video bios updated was published by MSI to make it work.  He's going in all directions.

  Most likely, you need to upgrade your diet also with the GTX 670.  I not comfortable also buy a $370 video card and then another $100 for a power supply and have the things to not work.  If your upgrade for the games, a HD 7570 is obviously no card game.  Therefore, we can be happy with something else that works with your diet like the 660 GTX and have only half of the cost.  Just a thought, and there are many others who also works as the HD-7870.  My choice would be the HD 7850 for $180, especially if you don't have a monitor very high-end to match with it.  It just seems to be too many issues raised on the XPS 8500.

• How can I install my printer model Dell 720 on my new Dell XPS 8500 with windows 7

  I have the software for my Dell 720 printer, but it will not install on my new Dell XPS 8500 with windows 7.  It works fine on my Dell Dimension 3000 with windows XP.  I would use this printer with my new system

  Dell is not a Windows 7 driver for this printer.  The closest thing they have is a driver for Vista 32 bit.  So your options are to (1) Download 32-bit Vista driver and try to install in compatibility mode, (2) use XP Mode if you have the professional or Enterprise version of Windows 7 Ultimate, (3) buy another printer.

  You can download the Vista 32-bit driver

• Dell XPS 700 PSU failure

  Hello.
  So I have this problem with my diet (I guess) because to turn on my PC (Dell XPS 700), I hear a very quick tick of the PSU and a yellow led blinks constantly. The motherboard also has a light inside. This problem occurred after I tried to install DRR2 RAM for my motherboard because I had only 2GB. In advance, Yes, I did remove the new RAM and put it back in the old RAM, but the question is always composed. What I want to know is: what is the real problem, and if I have to put the money to repair, this replacement should I expect?

  As a side note, it's perhaps irrelevant, but I remember well the computer incorrectly. Off time to "Shut" took more than 30 minutes, so I just pressed the power button, until it is turned off. It might cause the issue, I don't know, I just thought it was remarkable.

  The power supplies used in the 700/710/720 were the same. The question is to FIND a such that the power supply is propitiatory.

  I'm leaning more towards the motherboard because these cards are really very fragile and are prone to failure at a pretty good pace.  There are controls on the motherboard that can cause food to act funny.

  As for two components a diet would be the cheaper to buy. You'll have to scout on sites like Ebay but to find a.

  The same would be valid for a motherboard and a jury of 700 I really think that most are non-existent. If you can find one, they are on the pricey side.

  Wish I could be more positive, but the fact that you have another one of these systems, which was still running is somewhat surprising. Most are now in a heap of junk now.

• Change of motherboard Dell XPS 8300

  Hello

  I have a Dell XPS 8300 since 2011. Unfortunately, my printer ruined my motherboard with an electric shock. I put another card mother microATX in my PC? I've heard that some people had problems with Windows 7, it works with the card mother Dell OEM, but other wise I heard that it is only in the USA, a problem, because we in Austria have other laws. If it works, the old RAM will work with the new motherboard?

  Printers give electric shocks.  This is probably a power surge which fried the Mo and probably other hardware in the computer. Dell computers have motherboards owners so you would need a new Board from dell. It would be a waste of money to buy anything until you determine the extent of the damage. All the ram, processor, pci cards, etc. could also be goners. Best bet is to buy a new computer. Buy a computer for your new UPS battery backup unit.
  

• Can I download drivers for Dell XPS 420 girl (windows xp) on my computer (Dell Studio 17 Windows 7) on a cd instead of install on my computer?

  I done a clean install on Dell XPS 420 after a crash.  Windows XP works fine, but it continues to ask that drivers can be installed before I can get on my internet which is At & T DSL with external modem.  When I try to go on the internet, it gives me the error of pilots.  I had what I thought, it was the disk drivers that came with the computer, but when I installed and then it is still asking for the correct drivers.  I called At & t for their support and they said I needed drivers.  That's why I came to Microsoft to download the drivers on my Dell Studio 17 on a cd, so I can load them onto the computer Dell XPS 420.  I was afraid to install on my computer because my Windows 7 running.

  I don't know if I can load my Windows 7 and its drivers on the dell Xps 420.  It was a solution, I thought, but I'm not that computer from common sense to see if that might spoil the Dell XPS 420.   Any help would be appreciated.

  Using another computer, go to the Dell support website and search the Windows XP drivers for your specific model number. Using your Dell's Service tag number is the fastest way to get the correct drivers.

  If there is then Windows XP Download drivers into a folder (with subfolders named "Chipset", "LAN", "Audio", etc) on your hard drive and burn all files on a CD driver.

  Then, insert the CD into the computer XPS 420 and install all of the driver files, starting with the mother/chipset, SATA, Firewire card drivers (1394), LAN, Audio, etc, and so on.

  For the problems of graphics card check download site of the manufacture of the graphics card for the latest Windows 7 drivers for your card.

• Problems to reformat my Dell XPS 710 desktop computer.

  I have a Dell XPS 710 desktop computer and I'm trying to reformat my computer. I tried pressing F8 at startup and do a repair, and I get an error Unmountable_boot. If I start the computer and press F12, the hard drive does not work with my drive. Is there another way possible I can reformat my computer? I'm running Vista on this machine.

  Hello

  1 - is the computer come pre-installed with the Windows Vista operating system?

  2. do you have a re-setup for the Windows Vista operating system disk?

  3. do you have external hard drives connected to the computer?

  Method 1:

  The error indicates that the hard drive has failed. I suggest you to remove or top-sheet all external hard drives except the one in which the operating system is installed and check if the problem persists.

  Method 2:

  If you have the Windows installation disc, I suggest to fix the computer using the disk and check if it works.

  Reference:

• Keyboard output incorrect characters after the re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

  Original title: some of the keys on the keyboard messed up after re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

  Hey guys,.

  I have recently reinstalled windows because last year I picked up a few errors that I couldn't fix it easily and I wanted a clean slate.

  I have install all the drivers etc, but I noticed on my keyboard, if I try and make a "sign it comes up with a sign @ and vice versa." There are also others like that, so I guess that my keyboard readers need to update? Although I have no idea why they would need updating as they were before.

  Anyway, I went here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=XPS_M1530&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid= and I tried to find the driver I need, but could not find them.

  So, overall, my question is should I update the drivers? If so, how?

  And if not, how can I fix?

  Thank you. :)

  Hi cripple.

  Thank you for your message.

  Was is happening until you have reinstalled Windows?

  How do you reinstall Vista, what steps did you take?

  What is a wireless keyboard?

  If this is the case, check the batteries and make sure that the keyboard is very close to the receiver (a few inches) to see if the problem resolves.

  I suggest updating your anti-virus definitions and run a fun system scan.

  You can connect another keyboard to your computer to see if it might be the fault of the keyboard?

• Noise - Dell XPS 13 9350

  I bought a new dell XPS 13 9350 from BestBuy August 8, 2016 and have several sound problems.  First all the sounds stopped working about a month after the purchase of the laptop but using the Dell.com support site, I discovered that 3 Intel drivers were disabled. Once I reinstalled audio drivers started working again, but another question continued. A periodic static noise.

  Laptop periodically makes a static sound whenever you press a key. The noise at startup, it happens every time that you press a little matter what kind of program is running and so far there is no apparent trigger that forced him to start emitting static noise. Twice I ran diagnosis "Full Test" on the dell.com support site, but the test can't find any problems. Considering the price of this laptop, I am surprised and even more shocked to see that other people have problems with static sounds.

  I bought a HP laptop the year last for half the price of this laptop and have not had a single problem with this computer.

  Hello. Read past questions FAQ and see if the solution in the XPS 9350 & 9550 helps.

• Dell XPS 15 9530 cell phone keyboard single and double quote questions

  Hello

  I recently bought a Dell XPS 15.

  I found when I use the keyboard when I press the "button, nothing not appears on the screen. If I press on the "key a second time and then" "appears on the screen."

  Or if I press on the "button, but keep typing the" appears after the following key.

  If I press on the "button then space bar, then the" appears, but it will not be a space on the screen and I have to press the space bar a second time.

  Is the same thing with the "button as well.

  I don't yet know the best way to search for this subject on Google or on the Dell Support.

  There is no problem with the key.

  I appreciate any help anyone has on this issue.

  Thank you

  Hi bamcauliffe,

  Sorry for the late reply. I suggest you to change to another configuration of keyboard UK and back to "US" and "United States-International" to check if the problem persists.

• Updates for the SSD of 32 GB LITEON m2 on a special edition of Dell XPS-8900.

  Has anyone successfully upgraded Cache SSD m2 on their system XPS-8900?

  I have a Dell XPS-8900 that I bought a few months ago, and you want to update the cache of hard drive SSD m2.  The system has 2 to 7200 RPM hard drive + Cache SSD of 32 GB m2, 16 GB of memory (which I'm upgrading to 32 GB) and the processor i7 - 6700 k.

  I tried to replace it with either the Samsung 850 EVO m2 250 GB SSD or the Samsung 950 PRO NVMe 256 GB SSD.  I read in another post on the forum that the limit for XPS-8900 in the m2 slot was 256 GB.  Anyone know if this is correct?

  If anyone has any ideas on how I can change my system to tighten a bit more performance out of my system, I'd greatly appreciate your ideas.  It seems a little slow at startup and loading applications than I expected.

  It is not necessary to install a larger disk for use as a cache - it won't do much (if any) for performance.  There is a valid argument by replacing the disk cache with an SSD of larger m2 and then by installing the operating system on this drive (that is, running in native mode of SSD).  That WILL stimulate the acceptable performance.

  I doubt that there is a limit on the capacity of the drive - but there is no doubt about the physical size of the map itself.  Note that this system is NOT wired with an interface of PCIe 4 ways - then install a player is not worth the extra cost, because it will be limited by the design of the motherboard.

• What GTX 960 should I use to upgrade my Dell XPS 8900

  I recently purchased the following Dell 8900

  X 8900-3756BLK Dell XPS desktop (6th generation Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 2 TB HARD + SSD of 32 GB drive) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 with 4 GB DDR3

  I would like to replace the graphics card (I flight sim a lot) with a GTX 960 4 GB of DDR5 memory card, either myself or have a computer repair place do it.

  What are specific cards would be easier to install in my machine - if I get 960 GTX, I see all sorts of cards of different lengths, 1 and 2 fans, etc.

  I want to buy the next card, if it must be installed easily...

  Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 4 GB GDDR5 PCiE graphics cards GV-N960OC-4GD

  A new graphics card would be difficult to install myself?   What is involved?

  Thank you

  Steve

  The 8900 XPS and 8700 share the same case so if you look in this thread, you will see the cards that match and cut cards requiring a certain case.

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../19611037

  I can personally attest to the MSI GTX 970 games 4 GB fits so check the size (length and height) and less it should fit without a problem.

  If you can wait a few weeks or perhaps a month, the GTX 1080 seems to be a surprising card to the prize draw and power. It's going to be a little more expensive, but much more capable.

  The installation is easy. search for youtube videos and you should find one.

  Edit: and you can sell your GTX 745 on ebay and recoup some of the cost.
