Dell dimension 9200 2 and lights 1-2-3 short beeps

Hello

I have a Dimension 9200 bought around 2008. About 3 weeks, I started having issues getting started, until the computer wouldn't start. Lights said a bad video card, so I took out the card nvidia 260 and put the original video card in and the computer worked OK with the original video card. After another week or two, would not start the computer. I bought a used motherboard and succeeded him. When I turned on the computer, I had 2 short beeps and 1-2-3 on on the Panel. The seller knew what was up, then I sent the motherboard back and got a replacement of the replacement card is in it, but it still gives me 2 short beeps and 1-2-3 is turned on. The power led is constantly Green

While these beeps and lights mean together?

Thank you.

Frank

Beep codes should be in groups of three, separated by a short break, for example, 1-pause-1-pause-1. So if you hear 2 beeps, who is not useful.

Version of Windows?

According to the Manual, G-G-G-(off) means "another failure", and:

  1. Ensure that all disk and CD/DVD cables are properly connected to the system board
  2. If there is an error message on your screen to identify a problem with a device (for example, floppy drive or hard drive), check the device to ensure that it works correctly
  3. If the operating system is trying to boot from a device (for example, floppy drive or hard drive), check the system configuration (see to make sure that the boot sequence is correct for the devices installed on your computer.

While everything is done, and you are sure that everything is installed properly and cables connected properly, remove the battery from the motherboard and the power button press / hold for about 30 seconds before reinstalling the battery. Then see if it boots with only mouse, screen and keyboard connected.

If still no go, you will have to strip to a minimum by removing all PCI cards, except known working video card all modules in memory except the one in slot 1, disconnect all drives except boot the disk hard, etc.. Do the "battery thing"and see if it boots now...»

  • Dell Dimension 9200 MAX UPGRADE

    As you can tell a Dell Dimension 9200 is a bit old this generation of computers, but I want max to upgrade my PC and my calculations, when I update this baby to the max, it could perhaps better than PCs today, so most important first question:

    1: can I upgrade my power supply? My current diet only 350w, I am able to pass this to 500w by installing a new? Is it possible to install a new power supply on my PC again? If so, which company is the most reliable?

    Thank you for your help, once this question is answered, I think my PC will be a match munching PC

    Azee123

    Yes, the power supply can be improved to a 500w unit +.

    The Dimension 9200 does not use an exclusive power of Dell, you can install most power supply ATX with a power connector 24 pin or 20 + 4 pin main motherboard and this can be purchased in most local computer stores, or online.

    The 9200 has a rear panel open, a diet with or without the on/off switch can be installed.

    Note: You need a PSU with six SATA power connectors.

    When you buy a power supply, check the manufacturer's warranty, plus better, look for one with a minimum of three years.  Personally, I prefer the Corsair PSU.

  • The Dell Dimension 9200 graphics card upgrade

    I am looking to update my graphics card on a Dell Dimension 9200 and I was wondering if the Nvidia GeForce GT 430 would work with the pc, I have a Nvidia 7900 gt. I am open to both recommendations.

    My current pc features, Windows 8 version Preview (upgrade to windows 8 Pro in a few days), 4 GB of ram, intel dual core 2.13 ghz.

    Hi gaz492,

    The graphics card you have mentioned should work on the Dimension 9200.

    Food that has been delivered with the computer is 375W which is more than the bloc power to the graphics card. Details of the graphics card: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-430/specifications

    In addition, providing the link for the specifications of the computer:

    NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

    Add the link to the manual for Dimension 9200, which is also known as the XPS 410:

    There are a lot of compatible adapters to the computer: here is a list of the latest graphics cards that run on the desktop computer:

    1. nVidia GeForce GT 440.
    2. ATI Radeon HD 6570.
    3. ATI Radeon HD 6670 (requires minimum 400W).
    4. ATI Radeon HD 7750 (requires minimum 400W).

    Usually if the video card is updated on the computer, you must upgrade the power too as the power supply on this computer is 375W.

  • Dell dimension 9200

    Hello

    Can someone tell me what ram I need for a dell dimension 9200 please. I need to replace it, but read that someone used 8 GB and it works fine. Dell has the max is 4gb.please help.

    mandymoped

    Does anyone know if 8 GB will work with 32-bit vista please

    mandymoped

    When you have a 32-bit system, it does not recognize the 8 GB memory, 3±gb, is a 32-bit system can address.

    Basically, what this means, is so that you can install 8 GB of memory in the system, the reason for which it will be not recognized, is mainly due to 32-bit processors and 32-bit memory address limitations on applications.

    64-bit processors & operating systems will recognize the limit of 32-bit.

    A flashing orange power LED, usually indicates a power supply problem power, given the age of the Dimension 9200, which is highly likely.

    Try to replace the power supply with a power supply of labour "Known", to see if that makes a difference.

    This system does not use an exclusive power of Dell, you can install most power supply ATX with a power connector 24 pin or 20 + 4 pin main motherboard and this can be purchased in most local computer stores, or online.

  • CPU upgrade Dell dimension 9200 core 2 duo 2.4 Ghz processor

    I was wondering if someone could help me.  I know that it is not supported by dell, but I want to upgrade my processor at the maximum speed supported by my Dimension 9200... I currently have a 2.4 Ghz cpu and bought an E8500 3.16 Ghz, which is NOT compatible... I was wondering if I could go with an E7300 2.66, I I think the problem is with the speed of the bus--the E6600 and E7300 are the two 1066 Mhz but the E8500 and E8600 1333 Mhz.

    Can anyone confirm that the E7300 2.66 / 1066 Mhz is compatible...?  Thank you.

    Steinomite

    OK so just to confirm that I will buy the CPU... I can get a core 2 duo for a core 2 Quad... as long as I get a Q6700 2.66 GHz... correct? for a Dimension 9200... Thank you.

    Yes, the XPS 410/9200 will take up to Q6700, processors FSB 1066.

  • 2 TB hard drive for Dell Dimension 9200

    I have a 3 years Dimension 9200 desktop with 2 X 160 GB hard drives configured as a RAID 320 array.  I want to move to a single 2 TB hard and I was wondering if someone could advise me if a Seagate Barracuda XT ST32000641AS - buffer of disk hard - 2 to - internal - 3.5 "-SATA-600 - 7200 rpm -: 64 MB would do the job."  Otherwise, what is that limit the upgrade?  Is there more to consider otherwise if it is a SATA hard drive? Someone at - it other recommendations? My apologies if this message sounds like it is a novice to updates - the reason is that I am!

    There is no reason from a material point of view that a 2 TB drive would be a problem in the Dimension 9200.  Just considerations common to install a SATA drive.

    You install Windows XP?  If you use the installation disc is a labeled Dell installation disk, SATA drivers can be already integrated in the drive.  Most Windows XP installation diskettes, however, won't these drivers so that the computer hangs during installation, typically have reported that a hard disk cannot be found.  If you find that this is the case, go to the system configuration (F2 during the self-test after starting or restarting the computer), then assign the controller SATA RAID Autodetect / ATA.  This parameter allows to use the native IDE drivers on the Windows XP installation disc.

    If you use Vista, you should have no problem Vista installation media should have native SATA drivers.

    Manuals for your computer are available at support.Dell.com.  The service is currently not available, but should be back before long.

  • Upgrade a Dell Dimension 9200 360 GB Raid to 2 TB hard drive

    Hello

    I have tried this modernization and taken on drives of 160 GB 1 and put in disk 2 TB and started the PC and it did not work I tried 2 different locations.

    Can someone help me by telling me what I have to do

    to install disk 2 TB on my Vista PC running.

    I need to install my dell Vista-CD/CD?

    your help will be greatly appreciated

    Assuming you have RAID 0, RAID was probably set up to be the bootable hard drive.  If you delete one of the disks, your RAID will be completely disabled and the computer will not start.  The Dimension 9200 has six SATA ports, two upward by themselves and four other together towards the middle of the main map.  When one of these machines has been ordered with RAID Dell normally placed disks RAID on the third SATA ports and fourth, leaving the first two either vacuum or place the DVD/CD drive on the second of the two ports that reach by themselves next to the power supply.  You should be able to add your Board of 2 TB in two ways; Place it in one of the two ports next to food, or use one of the either the port of fifth or sixth sitting by the RAID.

    Once you have the new drive installed mechanically, restart the computer and use F2 during the self-test to reach the configuration of the system.  This page shows the BIOS how you want the computer to deal with its various devices.  Go to the screen that shows all your SATA devices and make sure that the port with your new hard drive is turned on.  If you skip this step the computer ignores your new drive.  Once you have done this and left the installation of the system, you will need to find the disk on your computer Manager so that you can initialize, partition and format the new drive.  You must configure a partition, even if you want to use the entire disk as one partition before you can format.

    A word of caution: computers some Dell's have some difficulties to accept a hard drive placed on a track numbered higher than the DVD/CD drive.  If you use the ports by the RAID drives and find you have problems using the new hard disk, you will need to plug it into the port of the first or second, depending on which is not used by the DVD/CD drive.  The RAID drives are not normally affected by this problem because they are managed by the ROM of RAID Intel and the computer does not see them as a SATA hard drive.

  • Dell Dimension 4700 solid Amber Light but now nothing

    A few months ago my Dell Dimension 4700 does not, he just had a solid clear amber.  So I read on the forum and I replaced the memory and the computer booted.  It lasted for about 6 weeks, and then I got the amber light again.  So I moved the memory and used an eraser to remove static.  Still had a yellow light.  Then a few days ago I had no amber lights - nothing.  So I bought a pwer supply and installed today and it still does not work!  Any suggestions?

    Thanks a lot for your helo!  I bought a power supply, but was still the question, so I bought a motherboard and my computer is a race!   Thanks again!

    It seems that my problem is solved.
    I removed a lot of the years of updates then run my drive setup and turned off and went to bed.
    When I turned on this morning I had to install updates. It was the only thing I was worried, and as this seems to be fixed, I am glad I use Firefox as my browser.

    I installed Speccy and he ran and it shows as running windows updates and it works correctly.

  • Dell Dimension E521 starts and stops on its own at random times... a lot of attempts to repair/restore without success! What's next!

    Well, it's a bit of a long story, so I'll try to make it as short and easy as possible.

    My grandmother had the Dell Dimension E521 for some time in December of ' 06.  She had filled the C: drive with a bunch of junk and mandated the bureau with many useless shortcuts.  Later in November 10, she told me he had begun to stop and start on his own time at random, so I tried to do what I could with antivirus scan (AVG Free Edition), remove applications and unnecessary programs and try to demand for system recovery short.  While that makes the computer run faster, it still started and closed on itself.  His house has only the dial-up connection (which is almost impossible to update anything), so I brought it to my house for the best connection around 01/01/11 (9 days ago).

    I could update the AVG Free Edition and Windows updates, and it found and cleared, a Trojan Virus.  The Dell still started and shut down on its own.  My next step was to use the disc re - install for Vista Home Basic 32-bit.  He old programs saved in a folder "Windows.old" on the C: drive and completely re-installed everything back to the original.  After I checked in the "Windows.old" folder and recorded something she didn't lose (such as images and videos), I deleted as much as I could out of it.  The only thing I could not remove from it was 4 'driver files '.  For a while the computer trying to run 'chkdsk' on its own seizure began, but froze in the middle of it.  He finally ended the 'chkdsk' once and didn't try again since.  It downloaded and installed updates Windows of 100 or more on its own as well.

    After all, it still does the same thing he has with housing starts and shut downs.  The closure of downs occur not just in the middle of the execution of a given program; they occur at any time at random, even if I use the computer in safe mode.  She always goes through the whole stops the process with the "logging off" and "closing" legends, it is not as if the electric system is down.  The start-up occur randomly as well, even if a stop is purposely through the Start Menu or hold down the power button.  Sometimes, he's trying to start and shut down on its own several times without fully load.

    Again, sorry this is so long, but I would like to know if there is anything that can be done to get this thing to CUT IT OUT because my grandmother wants as his computer back!

  • To clean or not to clean. Dell Dimension 9200 Quad Core

    I use two very old Dimension 9200 Quad Core computers that perform very well indeed and all I want to do.

    I was considering to remove the radiator and the fan to clean any dust and dirt on but don't know if it of a good idea or not. I am aware that if I do that I'll have to remove the old thermal paste and replace it.

    I take an unnecessary risk in doing this, and it is maybe just better left alone?

    If I do what is best to use to remove the former compound and is there a particular type of thermal paste, I have to present a new request?

    With computers that work OK, the best choice is to leave it alone. Look inside to see if any animal hair, dust or dirt accumulated. Clean carefully and leave the single cpu.
