Card mother XPS 8300

Hello

I think the motherboard in my XPS 8300 is trying to die, or at least give me a lot of trouble.

I get different blue screens lately, quite often (up to twice a day). Almost everytime, they were accompanied by sounds from my hard drive (for example, the disc to stop spinning, etc.). If naturally my first step was to get another hard drive and try to back up my data (thinking my hard drive was dying).

I tried with various programs of cloning (AOMEI Backupper, CloneZilla and so on) and they have all failed to clone the drive (usually say they could not create the new disk partition table). I then tried to install Windows 10 fresh on the new drive (with the old drive disconnected) and who also failed with windows saying that it could not format the partition just created on the new drive.

Because the drive is new, I thought, as a test, I will try to connect to another machine to see if it still would not work. Well, it works fine. I am currently cloning my old drive to my new as I wrte it on the other machine. So at least there is that - my data should be safe. I might have bought a hard drive for nothing, but that doesn't matter that much.

An extra tidbit of information, it's that even starting from the cloning software CD was much faster on this machine on my XPS 8300.

So I think at the very least, the drive on the motherboard controller gives me bad.

Now, my question.

I want to try buying a replacement motherboard, because the whole machine is still very fast (the CPU is one of the first core i7s, but it is always fast and I replaced the card graphics and RAM over the years). So if I was able to solve this problem, I could always get a lot of use from this computer.

Should I try to get the same motherboard model (i.e. a replacement motherboard for Dell this type exact) Dell or that I can find on ebay for example?

Or should I get a micro-ATX Socket 1155 motherboard to another brand of renown such as ASUS or other?

Honestly, I'm afraid that if I get an original parts of the same exact type, it will just fail again somehow not too long from now. This motherboard is actually a replacement that Dell sent a technician to install in my machine after I bought it, because the motherboard of the computer delivered with had a defect... And now this, so I'm not exactly sure in original spare parts from Dell...

I found information on this thread:

Link to thread

on this same forum explaining what are the specific connectors of the XPS 8300 motherboard, so I should be able to connect any motherboard that fits the case.

What are your recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Hello RoHe,

I ran thorough tests of RAM and HDD diagnosis. It took a long time (about 12 hours), but revealed no problem.

I was able to replace my motherboard.

I wanted to let you know also, that Windows was able to start on the new motherboard (after a phase of 'prepare the pilots' as when you install at the start). Also, it was not enabled when I started, but I was able to use the Windows 7 Pro key that came with my Dell to activate the already installed Windows 10 Pro, it worked like a charm.

So it was way less problems you said it would be, and now my machine is in excellent working condition.

Thank you.

  • Replacement card mother XPS 730

    I've had problems with my 730 for a few years now. Initially, research told me that the power supply or capacitors were the cause. I bought a handful of replacement capacitors and took part, the system to replace the suggested guilty. The system has become very stable from there, but recently, the symptoms returned. The system crashes suddenly, keyboard and mouse are unresponsive, screen is frozen and sometimes a unique tone from the speakers. The only option is hard stop the start up. Sometimes, this can happen every few minutes last time once a week.

    I replaced the sticks 4x1Go with sticks of 2 x 4 GB Patriot memory and the video card abandoned some time back then I have an ATI Radeon HD5770.

    Recently, I replaced the original RAM but the gel has continued. When I replaced with the Patriot is frozen usually until I moved the second stick of the 2nd to the 3rd and then finally to the 4th slot. Now, it has been relatively stable.

    Could there be something wrong with the memory slots?

    I would do well to replace the motherboard with a new one? I found 4 on eBay for all about AUD100.

    If your system is a 730, you need a 730 motberboard. If it is a 730 x, you will need a motherboard 730 x. They are not interchangeable between the two systems because the x 730 uses RAM DDR3 vs DDR2 on the 730 and a core i series processor vs Core 2 series and has a different take. ThomasLG

  • Replacement card mother XPS M1330 w / no sound

    Hey all, new Member of the forum here.

    I use my XPS M1330 for about 9 months and I loved.

    But then came the problem with the video, where I could start the computer and the screen would show black, then glow with a bright white with vertical lines colored through it. Apparently, it's a pretty common problem with the XPS M1330.

    In any case, I have Dell send me a technician today and he replaced my motherboard in 2 hours. The computer was returned and I had good display video back again.

    But then now I get another problem where audio is not working. The speaker on my bar has a red circle with a white "X" above, and running the cursor over them produced a message "No Audio output device is installed". Device Manager shows the sign "Sigmatel High Definition Audio CODEC"with a yellow"!" on the small speaker.

    I tried to install the new audio drivers from Dell and they didn't work.

    Need help here, I'll die without my music lol.

    Thank you

  • Update for Dell XPS 8300

    Will be the 02 G-P4-2663-KR of EVGA Geforce GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 2 GB GDDR5 192 bits PCI-E 3.0 x 16 HDCP and the Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus RS-550-PCAR-E3 550w ATX12V V2.3 power supply work in my computer Dell XPS 8300. I ordered end of March 2012 and he received mid April 2012.

    Hi FuzzyTrex,

    Dell XPS 8300 comes with Intel H67 Chipset and a PCI Express x 16 card reader for the expansion of video card options. Dell has tested XPS 8300 with the following video cards:

    • ATI Radeon HD 5450 5670 5770 5870 6670 6770 6870 6950
    • NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 GTX 460 GTX560Ti GT545 GT420

    However, Dell has not tested 660 GTX video card with XPS 8300, many users have reported he will be working and compatible with the system.

    EVGA GTX 660 requires a minimum of 450W power supply and has a maximum circulation of power of 140W. As you said that you would improve the power of 550W, the video card should work with this configuration.

    For installation/replacement of the video card, you can view XPS 8300 repair here.

    Note: Make sure that you follow the instructions in the manual before installing the video card.

    I hope this helps.

  • XPS 8300 cannot see USB 3.0 card

    "Late 2010" Dell card mother 0Y2MRG, Bios A06. New installation of Windows 7, all updates applied. Latest chipset drivers.

    I tried 2 different cards USB 3.0 PCIe with the same result. There is no indication in Device Manager. No question mark or exclamation points. Just don't register. Cannot install drivers because there is no device. Tried different slots, same result. BIOS has limited options, and none seem to solve anything in this regard. Anyone who encountered this? It seems that many XPS 8300 users have installed the USB 3.0 card. I've only met one or two references to this problem without solution listed.

    I solved the problem. I used a card specified as PCIe 2.0 with a NEC (Renesas) chip. I have installed the drivers first, plugged the card in a rejoiced when I saw set up a new device after Windows starts. Works very well. No conflicts. Installation went exactly as you would expect any PCIe card. 3 USB devices operate normally and one obviously higher speed than USB 2. I have not tested officially yet.

    It's the map: Silverstone Tek PCI Express Card 2 x USB 3.0 Ports external and internal 19 pins of the Dual-Port (EC04-P)

    Apparently the Dell motherboard is picky. I don't know if the question was specific 2.0 PCIe or if he liked the NEC chip. Or both.

  • XPS 8300, upgrade video card

    Hi I have a Dell XPS8300

    It came with the card AMD Radeon HD 6450, but there isn't enough good run the latest games, not even with settings very low... This is why I intend to upgrade that.

    The problem is that I don't know if the map I want to buy is compatible or if I could make it work... I'm really new to this so I need a little help please...

    It's the map: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclock-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-3753-KR/dp/B00IDG3IDO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1401905637&sr=8-4&keywords=nvidia+gtx+780

    Im not in that of a hardcore gamer who wants ultra graphics on all games, I want to just that my PC to run the latest games at least on a medium to high heat (or even low) with decent FPS...

    I believe that my 6 GB DDR3 RAM and Intel core i5-2300 (2.80 Ghz) with this video card should be enough.

    Please let me know (any expert on the subject) if I can use this card without problem so I can just click 'buy' haha. Or if it something else I have to make it work please let me know

    Thanks :)!

    GTX 560 it is no longer on the market so there is no need to buy this card unless you found it used for $100 or less on ebay.  The GTX 750 Ti is a better deal for a new card and I'd get this one.  I've seen where users have for their XPS 8300 GTX 750 it and it works fine.

  • Update video card for Dell XPS 8300

    I'm looking for suggestions for a video card to replace the original NVIDIA GT420 DDR3 1 GB video card in my XPS 8300 running with Windows 7 64 bit.  The PSU is rated at 460 W (+ 12VA-18 a; + 12VB 16 A; + 12VC 8A; + 5V 25A; + 5V to the 2 0a; 3.3V 17A; and - 12V 0-3).  I would avoid upgrading the power supply if possible.

    The original of the NVIDIA card is a PCI Express x 16 slot.  I don't know if it's PCI Express x 16 or PCI Express 2.0 x 16.  Someone knows for a desktop XPS 8300 bought July 2011.

    Thank you.

    It is difficult to determine how quiet a card can be if you look on the comments of the people who bought the specific card you want, or you happen to find a professional opinion on this.   I find most of the double slot cards or cards with the biggest fans to shut up, so I don't think you need worry too much noise.   I have a Sapphire HD 6870 and it's very quiet.  I don't know the HD 7750 is fine for your application and games even if it will happen later.  With the game, you kind of match the video card with the monitor you own and resolution capabilities.  If you have a high screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 or more and you want to set this resolution, then you want a better video card.  After rebate, it may be that a difference of $20 between the 7750 HD and HD 7770 so keep that in mind also.

  • Upgrade of Ram card mother 8700 XPS

    I bought the regular version of the 8700 XPS that came with 8 GB of ram not the 8700 XPS Special Edition.

    I got contradictory information service to Dell customers on the amount of ram, the card mother the regular XPS 8700 supports. When I bought, but have read on the forum that it is only 16 GB, I said 32 GB of Dell.

    Can someone confirm please the amount of ram, the card mother the regular XPS 8700 can handle? Please, I beg you.

    Hi chrisyackulic,

    Dell XPS 8700 has 4 x 240 pin slots DDR3L/DDR3 SDRAM supporting the Dual Channel DDR3L SDRAM up to 1600 MHz. The XPS 8700 supports a maximum of 32 GB of system memory. If you install DDR3L, all other modules should be DDR3L (1.5 V) only.

  • Why the visiontek radeon 7970 3 GB graphics card does not work with my xps 8300?

    I bought a Radeon 7970 visintek 3 GB graphic card thinking that it works with my xps 8300. It fits everything is plugged in correctly, but when I turn on my computer does not recognize the graphics card? The graphics card is not broken I build it in another computer and it works perfectly. I am very disappointed at this because I thoughtI would save money, do not buy a new computer and just buy the food and the radeon. It turns out that the Radeon does not work. If someone could tell me what the problem is, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you, Jon

    Hi Jongerber,

    A 500W (or more) power with a 150W power connector 8 pin PCI Express and a connector power 75W 6-pin PCI Express is recommended for the graphics card AMD Radeon 7970. Your XPS 8300 has a diet of 460W. This maybe one of the reasons for the question from the video card works on another computer.

    Please see the link below for the requirements for the graphics card of Radeo 7970:

    Hi, I have a XPS 8300 - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

    DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card

    I am able to install the drivers, and the card is listed in my device manager, but also network connections.

    My question is that the card is DISABLED. I am not able to enable it.

    I tried to uninstall my Antivirus AVG, I've disabled the firewall from Microsoft, I uninstalled the driver and removed the driver for my system.

    When I rebooted the system, the card can be detected and I install the driver.

    But still not able to ALLOW the connection.

  • XPS 8300 nine connects to the Broadcom Netlink Communication card only after restarting 3 - 4 times at cold start.

    Hello

    I just bought a new XPS 8300.

    After woeking OK a few days, now it connects to the Broadcom Netlink Communication card only after restarting 3 - 4 times at cold start.

    Someone has the same problem?

    All other computers in the House connect from the first shot. (two cell phones and another office.) They have much slower computers.

    In the beginning, I have re-installed the driver (DVD and downloaded), but not that's the problem.

    The computer must have a little hot.

    When it does connect, Test the Dell tool DOES NOT SHOW (does not appear in the list of tests) Broadcom NetLink Gigabite Ethernet card.

    I'm a little disappointed, it's a brand new computer, I was expecting more problems from the beginning.

    Thanks, Cristian, Montreal, Canada

    All,

    According to the received update, please call Support technical and would take appropriate action.

    The fix is based on case to case, so I would ask all those who face this problem to call tech support for your region.

    The technical team sent details to the technical team and the TS process for this issue should go smoothly.

    FYI: I was not provided with a patch, please contact Dell Technical Support for more details.

  • 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.

  • Dell XPS 8300 GPU issues

    I had a Dell XPS 8300 since 2011.

    The specifications are:

    Image Intel i7-2600 3.4ghz processor

    460W POWER supply

    8 GB RAM

    Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 5670 1 GB GDDR5

    My problem is that my video card is dead after 4 years and I need a replacement as good, or better, for less than $100. At first, I thought it was easy. Ordered a GT 730, a card nice entrance a little better than the 5670 range and more efficient power and he went through the installation process. The AMD drivers, uninstalled, change video card and it fits perfectly. The problem is that I just get a black screen on startup or, sometimes, the Dell splash screen.

    After hours of research I discovered that this won't work because the motherboard, 0y2mrg and it's bios, A06, are incompatible with the new GPU. Seriously? Rarely have I never heard of this problem. The last update is in 2011, the same year that I got this PC when it was new. What the hell with the lack of support?

    Whether it is, I'll find something which is compatible, but unnecessarily difficult. Those who have asked the same question to be taken from a few years ago and expired or no response. I've seen the Dell has approved the cards and they are ridiculously overpriced for what they are. The 5670 is a super card low-end and was again released as a back then, but Dell wants to sell for more than $200? If I try to look for it on other sites, like Amazon or Newegg, it is almost impossible to find or too expensive.

    My question is this, what is a good video card that costs more than $100 - $110 that works with the card mother Dell XPS 8300 and requires no other parts to change?

    Yes, I actually. The variant 750 GTX & it worked perfectly. I guess that something more old than they would be too much like GTX 780 if you wanted something strong, but you would probably need a bigger power supply. The GT 720 and 730 WON'T WORK if you wanted a less expensive solution. The GTX 750 TI is perfect as a modest solution however.

Maybe you are looking for
