• Dell Dimension 4600 does not start after upgrading CPU

  Hello

  First of all, I tried to send this last night but received a message on my post approval by moderator? Not yet been approved but seen other people have posted with success more recently. Do not know what is happening.

  In any case, put his hand on a 3.4 Ghz HT P4 Northwood 512 Kb 800 Mhz FSB for £10 on Ebay to upgrade my mother enough old Dimension 4600 which has a 2.8 Ghz P4 512 KB 533 FSB inside... However, when I install it the computer does not light and shows just a light amber. The readers and fans still spin but there is no display. The computer works normally when I put the old one back in.

  I think somehow it is a power supply problem as the new processor uses 20w more energy than the old 2.8 Ghz one. Someone at - it ideas? Just trying to figure if I bought a bad CPU, so I can return.

  Thank you

  Andrew,

  It is not a power supply problem, it's incompatible, or a bad processor problem.

  The first models of 4600 will take up to 3.0 GHz and models later, 3.2 GHz to 3.4 GHz, but this does not offer much of a sudden boost on the 3.0 GHz

  Motherboard Dell P/N F4491 will support up to 3.4 Ghz Northwood leaving Prescott

• (Redirected) Dell Inspiron N5110 does not start

  Hi, my laptop Dell Inspiron N5110 is now 3 years old. I recently had a hard drive fail, then replaced by a new. Now the machine does not start. I have a boot disk in the DVD player that swirls, but gets no further. I get also is no longer the screen Dell displays (before the windows one). In fact, everything is empty. I tried to remove the power supply by battery pack and power holding down the button for 1 minute then re - again no difference. Is there anything else I can do or is the death machine?

  Thank you

• Dell PowerEdge 2850 does not start on a CD of ESXi 3.5

  Hello...

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2850, who does not start on a CD of VMware ESXi 3.5.  The server works very well with Windows 2000 server.  My first thought to solve this problem was the BIOS.  This is all what I've updated in what concerns the firmware on the box today.

  BIOS - A07

  Perc4e/Di - 5B2D, A19

  BMC Firmware - 1.83, A10

  Here are the latest versions of firmware available from Dell on this box.  The machine starts to start the machine.  But all I see is the first line of text of the CD which is the following:

  ISOLinux 3.63 2008-04-10 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 h. Peter Anvin

  My next thought was that there was something wrong with the ISO image that I downloaded.  I tested it on another machine; has worked like a champ.  Now, I read on a few different posts within the VMware communities that some people have had luck with this question and others did not.

  The inventory number of Dell on the machine is 6HDGS81

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Some of the Dell CD-ROM may be little flighty. I had hard time to install a CD earlier which worked perfectly well on another machine. I made another copy of the disc, this time burning the CD at a 4 x speed. The installation went perfectly fine afterwards.

• Dell XPS-8900 does not start

  Worked well to date, 01/01/2016 - Happy New Year, NO!

  Change power cable, use a different outlet (other items such as router and network printer can very well). Computer still does not start.

  When I plug it in the computer power light turns on light and then turns off (this seemed normal before). So if I push the power button computer does not start.

  I don't seem to get an orange light sequence of 2-1 after trying to turn it on - and continues. Maybe some sort of signal POST?

  I can turn the computer (not my first choice) after our journey ahead. But I'd rather get it upward and now running. Have work to do.

  More information. I had four USB3 external drives attached, whose two propulsion and two disks Seagate Wireless - which is recharged through its USB port.

  Removing only the second Seagate drive allows the machine starts. So the question can be too much of a drain on the USB card current.

  Once started, the system seems to work very well with that wireless Seagate drive attached, and it restarts with it attached - just not boot from a condition of Shut Down.

  Not sure really, I understand that, but I can live with that.

  If someone seems something more insidious in this behavior, please notify; bought the XPS-8900 at COSTCO and still about 55 days return if it is defective!

• Dimension 8200 does not start

  I have a Dimension 8200, which has not been used for more than a year.  I was going to reformat the hard drive to remove all personal data, and then give it to my daughter's school.  However, it will not start.  The Dell page comes and the BIOS white bar at the bottom of this page fills slowly, but then nothing happens for about a minute.  Meanwhile, the power button is green, and the ABCD diagnostic lights are green-orange to orange-green.  Then after about a minute or two, a page of message arrives.    At this point, the diagnostic lights are Green-Green-Green-orange, and the power button is always green. Among other writings is the assertion that the 1 primary and secondary hard drives is not found.  It says also "failure keyboard,' even if I used this fairly reliable keyboard with other computers. But it does not seem that the keyboard doesn't have - I do nothing doing on the keyboard has an impact on the computer.

  I checked the optical drive opens and closes when I push the button on the front, but I have not tried to use the player, because the computer is completely non-functional.  I looked through the forum of ideas of things to try.  According to this research, I checked the power supply provides the correct voltage.  I disconnected and reconnected then the two IDE cables, and I also removed and replaced the RAM sticks, as well as two sticks of continuity.  But still nothing!

  Any ideas, or should I just trash?

  Thank you

• Dell Precision T3500 does not start

  I have Dell T3500 Office, I pressed the Start button and the lamp on the Start button began to blink for a few seconds with a noise of power supply (SMPS/PSU) and 1 and 3 flashing and lights out. During this time I have observed that the power supply fan GET making small movements but does not turn the LED on the motherboard (orange) lights. I tried to start again and again, it does not work.

  Is this because the PSU become defective? or simply a RAM issue? I removed the RAM cleaned and then re inserted but it went past too to no avail. Can someone help me please to solve this?

  Flashing power button / stop Amber is bad food.

• 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.

  http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Dell/dimension-5100

  

  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 9150 will not start, turns 2, 3

  Hi all

  I moved to Italy and handed the dip switch at the rear of the server to 230v.  The computer starts beeping sound and light indication of storage 3 and 4 is stable.   The monitor does not work and I get a warning on the screen there is no signal.  I hope someone can shed some light?  I'm not a computer guru, but I can try to work the steps to make it work because there a lot of personal things in what I would like to have access.   Thank you

  Well speak of the devil, I moved the Ram in slot 1, since it was not positioned in slot 1, but 4 and now the dell is starting up and works FINE... which is great!  I am a woman with a bit of left brain!

  Thank you

  Hello

  1. what happens when you start the laptop, you receive no error message?

  2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

  I suggest to remove the battery and connect the laptop to AC power and then try to start the computer to see if the problem is with the battery.

  I suggest you to contact Dell support on the issue, as this can be a hardware problem.

• Dell Studio 540MT does not start, green power light on, but the Start button / clear stop completely

  Looking for assistance

  Have a Dell Studio 540MT (purchased in 2009), worked great until 2 weeks ago.   After a temporary system failure would not start.    The power light itself is green fixed.   The power button on the front panel is completely released.

  I read a lot of messages and other information about a similar problem.   Therefore, I did following:

  1. unplug everything, press the power button / stop for 1 minute and retries.   without success

  2. replace the CMOS battery.  without success

  3A jumps the Green and black 20 supply connection wire pins to motherboard.  It started immediately food, fans and hard drive.   so I assumed that the PSU has been authorized.

  4 replace the motherboard with a new mobo.  Curiously, in a first time, there was no change, but after about 2 minutes, the power button was working and power system.   Everything worked so very well.   I had also completely cleaned all the dust in the chassis and radiator, fan and had applied the thermal paster as directed by Artic Silver.   I even turned off after hours of race and restarted system.  Restarted, he noted that it took a couple times by pressing the power button to make it work.   Then the 2nd day I shut down the system by a normal shutdown through Win 7 and let rest for about 10 hours.   When tried to start/turning the power on again, same problem as the original problem... at first, before light power button would show amber flashing when first pressed the power button / stop, then once I unplugged the power cord and let it sit for 1 hour, the light power button showed no light, completely and again no restarts.

  5. I ordered a new power button cord (new)... This could be the problem and replacement will fix?   Is this a known problem that power button can cause this kind of problem?

  6 or is a problem of power supply?   But you wonder why the green light of the PSU and works very well when jumping the Green and black wire on the connector 20 pin?     Before I go buy a new power supply to other suggestions?

  Is there a known issue with button / stop itself and/or PSU on Dell Studio 540 MTs?

  Yes, the front panel can cause failure to start in some models, although I don't specifically remember if the 540 has been affected by this problem. Please let me know if the replacement resolves the problem.

  ATX power supplies should work. Here are the standard components of the Dell desktop computers.

• Dell XPS 8500 does not start after the interruption of system restore

  It was one thing to do, but I turned off my PC during the restoration of the system because he took time to complete the process.  The next day I couldn't boot into windows.  I tried the automatic repair feature, but it does not work.  I tried to repair windows using the orignal installation disk, but it does not work.  I tried to install Windows 8 all over again, but I got an error message - media pilot is missing.  I opened the box uninstall the RAM, videocard unplugged and both drives and reinstall, but without success.  I noticed that there is an orange/orange light on the motherboard.  I thought it was the hard drive at the beginning, but now I hope that this is not the motherboard.  Any help will be appreciated.

  You have damaged the image beyond repair.  You need to reinstall from scratch.  Windows to say that an optical drive driver is missing, bad copy of DVD-RW, DVD + R or DVD - R media that was not burned at 1 X 2 X or 4 X, so is not readable.  This is why USB Flash Drive 16 GB or more is recommended rather than the DVD player to the installation media.

  Why doesn't my CD or DVD drive?

  Troubleshoot installation of Windows 7 Service Pack 1

  A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing
  A media computer driver needs is missing

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2755139

  This problem occurs for the following reasons:

  The installation DVD is removed during the installation process.
  A bad quality DVD has been used to create the installation DVD.
  The speed at which the installation DVD is burnt was too fast.
  The DVD drive cannot read media.
  The ISO file is corrupted.

• Dell Inspiron N5110 does not start

  Hello!

  I went to dell [F12] startup options and ran the diags.

  It throws following error message upward:

  Error code: 2000-0145

  Validation: 45371

  MSG: Hard drive 0 s/N 5VEKQY27, self test has not completed.

  [HD bios is detected correctly].

  What should I do now?

  You will need to replace the hard drive - which, while a bit expensive component to replace, is not easy to access on this model.  You can watch the video below before you decide to replace it yourself - or do a workshop work for you.

  You will need a new 2.5 "7-9.5 mm laptop SATA hard drive (hybrid or or drive solid state drive).
