• Dell Dimension 5150 - WinXP error 0 x 00000024 STOP

  I wrote this email to someone, however, received no response, so am using Microsoft Answers.
  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

  Thanyou,

  Anil

  Dear Dan,

  First of all, my name is Anil and I found your E-mail address when searching about my problem on some Forums.

  Last night, my computer was working fine. Really flawless. I use a Dell Dimension 5150 running Windows XP.

  However, when booting this morning, I received the error STOP 0 x 00000024 and with something to do with CHDSK / F.

  I couldn't do anything, like when I tried to boot my PC in safe, I got the same blue screen with the error.

  Therefore, after reseaching, I found two possible solutions.

  The first is to use the WinXP disc, however, my PC came with Windows XP already installed, I therefore had no disc.

  The second, I found the Forum even where I found your Email address, is to use a program called Bart PE Builder.

  I used Labtop this and this to burn the program to a CD.

  I only have a cause for concern, and it is, I have about 30GBs of value of music on my computer that I would be afraid to lose.

  My question is, if I run PE Builder from Bart, my music will be lost?

  And that goes for other files and documents on my computer (anything illegal, don't worry; (P)

  Thank you

  Anil

  Looks like Bart's not see anything except himself and that might be because it takes the controller drivers that are added. The easy way to find out is to add drivers to the image of your Bart controller and then start with this new CD. IIRC, he must put the drivers in a certain directory. Site Web de Bart, user forums or Google will tell you how. I don't use often Bart (preferring Knoppix) so know not glib. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Dell Dimension 5150 do not start LED logo on 123 + progress bar is stuck at 5% no beeps

  My old Dell Dimension 5150 has sometimes suffered from crashes during startup for quite awhile, but it now appears permanent.

  The symptom is the logo dell appears, but the startup progress bar stops at 5%, diagnosis LED 1,2 & 3 are stable on, power light is green fixed, no beeps, no response to the keys.

  In the past disconnecting the cable for 5 minutes, which gives all the internal connectors a re-allocation of places, you try to start again seemed to do the trick, but no more.

  Any suggestions where to look?

  No such thing as PC2 4300 except for sellers who are less honest.

  PC2 4200 is too slow

  PC2 5300 5 5 5 12 works fine. Suppliers must match for speed and the CASE.

  Blockages can be feed if it isn't certified EPS12v PFC.

  Minimum recommended is CS750M Corsair.

  http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/dimension-5100/CT667636

  Supplies are not units of 12 v x watts.

  You need 150W on the 3.3v 5v Rails and 15-20w on the + 5VSB rail.

  RAM RAM may NOT BE ECC or buffered or Registerd HIGH density AMD.  Must be LOW DENSITY INTEL Compatible ram.

  RAM cannot BE QUADRI ROWS can operate 2R and 1R, but you can NOT MIX the ranks.  They must all be single or dual rank.

• Dell Dimension 9200 (XPS 410) boot - dead?

  5-year warranty, but it is 5 y 11 months unfortunately >:)

  Data sheet: 2007 Dell Dimension 9200 (XPS 410 United States), Q6600 quad core, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HD, Windows Vista, graphic of 8600GT 256 MB PCI-E x 16, tv PCI-E x 1 tuner card (do not), Dell LCD 22 monitor ".

  Brief history and prob: weird, early on, the hard drive must Access all seconds for a few years, never understand this. 2011 major problem does not start, fan on max, diagnostic light code that turned out be meaningless... surprisingly reinstallation of the graphics card has helped a bit and fact pc usable again... Mistakes became gradually less severe, it was weird. they tried to say it's a software problem, but this seems unlikely since the restore to factory condition (and the loss of some data) had not helped at all. Next years two ok. Two days ago it started not just and necessary a few reboots. Found this morning frozen on the black screen of Microsoft and had to hold power to turn off. (itself awoke to a windows update then died?) Tried to start, but it froze on the start of the BIOS set up screen, no keyboard no nothing and got the same old code "123" diagnosis, but even when there is no such code. Repeated several times. Tried reinstalling video card about 10 times, including the removal of tv card for its use of non - no and light code now diagnosis '34' are for failure possible extension of the map (not the graphics card... but there aren't any other card it must be the graphics card). No picture monitor at all now...

  Reference dell cruise forums seems to accuse 9200 motherboard...
  Can try to reset the CMOS jumper?

  I wish dell had corrected it when it was in warranty.

  Any ideas? I don't have another card PCI-E PC or graphics to cross check... worth buying another graphic card to try? You want to save pc if possible. Thank you.

  
  

• (Redirected) For Dell Dimension 5150 Windows 10 upgrade: "there are no supported network devices.

  Hello world

  I have run the applet get Windows 10 and get the message: "there are no supported network devices.

  I use the router directly from the ethernet port, so it seems that the Dell 5150 driver for this is not Windows compatible 10, which is disappointing.

  Does anyone have a solution to this, or I'll have to just buying another cheap network card?

  Thanks in advance,

• I have a Dell Dimension 5150 XP desktop withWin dysfunction, is taken from the hd?

  I can boot Windows XP sp3, but some features are missing or malfunctionig. For example, I get a start HP Smart Web Printing screen, when I open the control panel. I deleted the program, but I still receive the message before.

  I have the os disc that came with the device. When I insert this disc an apppears screen indicating that I can reinstall os from Windows XP. When I try this, I find that it will not accept the Product Code (obtained in the computer box top).

  I tried to set the cd-rom as boot drive in BIOS, but participation was apparently not accepted, since Win XP started normally.

  I have the Win XP installation diskettes (6) downloaded from Microsoft. The floppy drive, who had previously worked, failed; I got "error e/s data. Please insert another disk. " I connected an external floppy drive, which has been known to function normally. It has been recognized as a drive in "Computer" window, but not in the BIOS, so can not put it as boot drive (maybe it is normal for an external hard drive?).

  Finally, since there seems to be problems with the BIOS, maybe I'm wasting my time and must buy a new HD. I can't think what else to do.

  Your comments would be appreciated.

  My problem, since the beginning, since my CD drive does not read the CD. So I couldn't reinstall Win XP from the os obtained with the computer disc.

  If that's REALLY your problem (and I'm still not sure that it is), then there is no hotfix. Your only course of action is to replace the old CD-ROM shot with a newly purchased player.
  An alternative is to buy a good used PC. You can get one with XP for $100. Or for a couple hundred more, you can get a PC brand new with Windows 7, which might not be a bad idea since the security fixes for Windows XP will be stop in April 2014.

• ERRORS OF DRIVER DELL INSPIRON 1525 WON'T BOOT SCREEN WHITE! HELP PLEASE!

  I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING WRONG, I TRIED SAFE MODE AND I GET THE SAME THING, I TRIED DOING DIAGNOSTICS AS WELL, ALL RIGHT.  PLEASE HELP SOMEONE. NONE OF MY LIGHTS LED FOR POWER SUPPLY, BATTERY, HARD DRIVE, WIFI OR BLUETOOTH ON ALSO WHEN I TURN ON MY LAPTOP, AS THEY NORMALLY DO. I TURN IT ON, AND AFTER THE LOGO WINDOWS, BLUE LIGHTS FLASHING ON MY WEBCAM AND THE STAY OF THE WHITE SCREEN, I'M GETTING NO SOUND IF I PLUG IN A DEVICE INSIDE.

  SOMEONE KNOWS HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!

  

  Do not safe mode with network. It will try to load too many drivers.

  Try mode safe mode with command prompt since it will charge just a necessary drivers. If it does, you can try the above commands.

  Only other option would be to try to start with a Linux LIVE CD/USB. (IE Ubuntu, Mint, or puppy or another other Dist you prefer).

• Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a Dell Dimension 5150?

  My computer is several years old and came with Windows XP. Is it possible to install Windows 7? What happens to all my files, etc, if I did?

  Thank you.

  You will need to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. It will inform you whether or not you can run Windows 7.

  In regards to your personal files, they must be saved on a device external or other removable media. This is because you can not 'upgrade' itself from Xp to Windows 7. It requires a clean install which means that all data on the hard disk is deleted during the installation of 7...

• What is a good graphics card for Dell Dimension 5150.

  Now I'm looking at the Nvidia 8600 right, it works with my computer?

  
  

• Dimension 5150 305wt cannot use the CD-ROM and video card reader at the same time...

  OK, I bought my GeForce 8600GTS on my Dell Dimension 5150. It came with a power cable so I plug two supply cables optical drive into the video card, but if I plug in the power cable, I have no power to my cd player so I can't use it.

  The power of two male cable heads are not separated, they're attached to them, so I can not join just a head for the video card and the other on the cd player because it would not be long enough. I can buy a Belkin power extension cable, but I'm afraid that the power of cd drive will conflict with the power of the video card. I won't buy another power supply, because just to use my cd player. Any suggestions?

• Dimension 5150 cpu Upgrade

  I have 4 dell dimension 5150's and you want to update all the 4 fastest possible CPU for this old of a computer.

  Would an Intel Pentium D 945 3.4 work GHz LGA 775 CPU SL9QQ 4 M/800 Presler Dual Core?

  They now have PROCESSORS, 3.06, 524, 1 MB, PENTIUM 4 PRESCOTT DT, G1

  Or what is the best I could get in these?

  I have windows 7 and hoping to be able to get up to 10 but the 524 is not compatible.

  scbauml

  The Pentium D945 is the maximum that can be used in the Dimension 5150/E510.

  However, if you don't have motherboard 0HJ054 installed and upgrade the processor on most other motherboards will rise a 'incompatible CPU"at startup and need to press F1

  The Dimension 5150/E510 does not support all of the processors Pentium G20xx series, these require a different motherboard and socket.
  .
  The motherboard for the Dimension 5150/E510 has a Socket LGA 775 and can't stand not all processors Core 2 Duo/Core 2 Quad, single Socket LGA 775, P4 and Pentium D can be used.

  The Pentium D945 is the maximum that can be used in these models.

  Before upgrading the processor, make sure you have the latest version of the BIOS installed.
