• DELL Dimension XPS T800r CMOS Maintenance Mode worries...

  Greetings, good people of the world of DELL!

  I'm working on a desktop DELL Dimension XPS T800r for a neighbor.

  The original complaint: no video

  Some things have changed since yesterday when I worked on it, then read on...

  Here's what I've done so far in order:

  (855) 935-7526 *. Exchanged video from a well-known donor cards.  No change.

  2. the DIAGNOSTIC LEDS on the back panel has found.

  3 DIAGNOSTIC LIGHTS remain DARK during the start attempt.

  4. consultation documentation DELL for LIGHT codes DIAGNOSTIC.

  5. the code is: All the DARK - turns on by default.

  6. again consulted the DELL documentation to identify what to do:

  (a) reinstall microprocessor

  (b) remove all the expansion cards

  7. After you do both.  No change.

  8 using the prior computer knowledge, I pulled ALL of the motherboard except the feeding fittings and connections on the front panel.  I unplugged all connectors power hard drive as well.  I left only the CPU fan connected to the motherboard.  I checked the power supply against DELL standards and all is good.

  9. now, knowing the CMOS batteries, I checked the voltage on board.  He was 3.1VDC.  Seems good.  I didn't want to remove it, so in order to make sure it's properly plugged in, I turned the battery making to create a better connection.  That's where things have changed since yesterday...

  10 leave the BARE Board, I plugged it in to the power supply.  Silence.  Only the yellow led on the motherboard lit up.

  11. I installed the CPU and VIOLA!, LIGHTS flash YELLOW for a second DIAGNOSIS, and both fans turn quickly upward, then will stop altogether.  The yellow led on the motherboard remains on.

  12 DELL documentation contains this code to represent: card system is powered,
  but the BIOS is not executed.

  13. I think turn battery CMOS created a better connection (the computer IS almost 16 years old) giving me a response to market now.

  14. I tried to reinstall everything and document what happens after turning the power on.  Nothing changes beyond this point.  LIGHTS DIAGNOSTIC flash YELLOW briefly, and the power supply and fan rotation CPU for a second, then stop.

  15 DELL documentation suggests putting the system in MAINTENANCE MODE by the CMOS jumper

  This computer is almost 16 years old, and very probably, the owner has not saved the BIOS settings.

  This is what is installed, before the Panel:

  A CD-ROM drive

  An IOMEGA Zip drive

  A floppy drive

  Now to the question:

  Since I have no way to backup or recover the CMOS settings, I hesitate to put the jumper to MAINTENANCE MODE to see if the computer will boot all the way to the top.  I'm not potentially make the computer unusable in maintenance or replacing the battery mode, even though I would replace the battery because of the line due to age.

  The DELL documentation:

  NOTICE: Pass by the maintenance mode returns all settings in the
  Installer system to their default values. Dell highly recommends
  that you save or print the current settings before entering in this
  mode, so you can fix them when the system is reset to normal
  mode.

  What do you think will happen if I reset the default BIOS by moving the jumper and replacing the battery?

  I will cause a catastrophic failure?

  Now, the other side of the coin is that the system is relatively basic, so I have to enter the starting sequences and other isn't a big deal.  I hope...

  At worst, I'll have to use a drive caddy to retrieve its data from the hard drive.

  Thanks in advance for all your help and support!

  In case it helps someone, re-seats maps microprocessor and expansion got the computer fully functional again.  I guess that for a computer in 16 years, the tabs or oxidize some and created resistance which forbade the computer recognition and power.  It works fine now.

• where can download the drivers in my DELL Dimension XPS T550

  I have a DELL Dimension XPS T550 uses windows xp with processor Pentium III, HDD 20 GB, 512 MB SDRAM (divided into two sticks), 32 MB video card, sound card, modem, usb and dvd - rom card. I want to format but I'm worried because all my cd to install my driver was missing. Someone help where I can download all my drivers. Here is the list:

  Motherboard: Intel Corporation SE440BX-3 AA722396-108

  It seems that this computer is so old that Dell isn't fully can't stand it anymore.  Pages that appear to relate to your system in a generic way, all seem to suggest that you have added a new video card, at least his new card and perhaps other devices.  You can search the drivers for those devices on the websites of their respective manufacturers.

  In any case, it does not appear in the documentation above that this computer has never provided with Windows XP or that Dell had XP drivers for everything.

  How did you install XP first?

  See what 2004 post (it's underlining):

  Dell should have said they will not support XP on XPS T parts series in
  General XP will work fine on your PC. There is a tool of material control on the
  CD, run first to see if it detects problems. Most of the problems are
  come from things like maps its etc. In addition, he was notified of this update
  you the BIOS with the latest version.

• Power Supply Upgrade for CQ5320F

  I have a Compaq Presario CW5320F (for complete specifications, go here (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01949110

  I want to improve the diet, may I use this video card:

  EVGA GeForce GT 430 1024 MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics card.

  Search around on the internet, he said that a system like mine can use an exclusive power, as well as power supplies made for her would work. Not sure if it's really true or not for my model. It is waistline average ATX so wouldn't a diet made for a work of such a deal, so my options will not be limited?

  So my question is what food can I get for this system that would work and support this video card?

  Any idea or advice would be greatly appreciated, as I've never updated before eating.

  Thanks in advance.

  djjp18,

  Not sure where you found the comment "exclusive power. but rest assured that the power supply is a standard ATX factor. See:

  http://www.power-on.com/atx12v250bt.html

  http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?SearchText=AY030AA

  Well EVGA card specifications reflect a need at least a power of 300W with 22A, in my humble OPINION, a block with a range of 400-430W power SUPPLY 80 + will be a better power curve.  Suitable PSU in the range of 400W-430W.

• Power supply upgrade for my Dell XPS 8100?

  I'm looking to upgrade my Dell XPS 8100 power OEM 350W at a minimum 550W power supply so I can install a Blu - Ray reader & writer drive, & so I can replace the ATi Radeon HD 5570 1 GB GDRR5 graphics card with 2 GB or 4 GB of GDDR5. What would be a good power supply for my computer?

  Here are my specs:

  Intel Core i7-870,

  16 GB of DDR3 Ram(was 8GB but I upgraded to 16GB),

  HD 1.5 TB,

  ATi Radeon HD 5570 1 GB GDDR5.

  In addition, this card will work fine with my computer:

  

  & What will be a good Blu - Ray burner for my computer which is not too expensive?

  It's my computer right now:

  

  Here's a post that details what the size fits:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19483753

  But...

  740 GT is not much faster that the Radeon 5570 then this isn't much of an upgrade. What do you who needs 4 GB of RAM - V?

  Have you watched a 4 GB GTX 750 ti? Much faster...

  www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

  If you go with a GT 740, according to me, he can use less energy than the 5570, and if you buy a 'green' BluRay burner, it can use less energy than your current optical drive.

• XPS 8500, GeForce GTX 970, power supply upgrades

  Alright Hey guys, so I did a little research, talked to a few friends and others and came to the conclusion that the upgrade of my gpu will be a good call! in any case after talking to a few people and a few computer experts I have been proposed to upgrade my gpu for a gtx 970 which I think will be great! The other question that I fell or not was the power supply will be able to handle this kind of upgrade. So after through suggestions from some other people and see what others who have improved their xps 8500 I suggested me to go with the power of 750W EVGA supernova 750 B 1 did supply (PSU) (110-B1-0750-VR) the reason behind this was expressly that he was quite a bit smaller in length to the tern I would be able to ride in the tour and that's what other people have used when starting to level of their xps 8500. Anyway sorry this is long but I assure you it is a good idea, if everything fits correctly and any other thank you GENERALS!

  EVGA is a brand, and they have power supplies are built by different manufacturers.

  the key is the letters B1 and G1, G2 or GS

  B1/G1 are built by the FSP (OK, but not great)

  Seasonic GS. (but not the best that Seasonic can build)

  Superflower G2 (and it's getting good reviews.

  the best is the G2.

  The G2 will be good, but be very tight.

  Keep in mind that you need not 750W to add a GTX 970. 550 W of the kind of clean energy is ample. 650w is also good, but I would highly recommend a high quality PSU, and I do not include the B1 or G1 in this category.

  The 8500 and the 8700 are PSU even better I can tell and there are several described in this thread.

• Video card and power supply upgrade - XPS 8700 (mid-2013)

  Hello

  I was considering upgrading my video card in my 8700 XPS to an AMD R9 270 to an AMD R9 290.

  I was wondering weather the power would be able to take it.

  It's a 460W power supply which I don't think will be able to manage an AMD R9 290 so I was also wondering if he could not do, where can I get a more powerful power supply? I know where to buy a lot, but I don't know if Dell, you have specific feeds of size to fit the case.

  Is it OK to buy a market after we'll tell power 650W from any manufacturer or should I buy a specific for the case.

  Thank you.

  At the very least, get a 750w power supply. This one has been reported to adapt.

• 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

• POWER supply upgrade

  I'm buy a GTX 660 Performance Edition and replace my GTS 250, so I need to buy a new power supply or I do?

  I used a simulator of power on Newegg http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index.html

  and I'm 11 Watts is more than OK? I strongly believe not, but I would like a second opinion and explanation of the consequences.

  Also I just found out that my current settup is 24Watts on yet I'm running OK I guess. PSU reached the high celsius of 60 s at full load.

  I was looking around power supplies, but the few I found in my price range do not have the same dimension that my current has.

  The main thing I need to know is where can I buy compatible power supply for my HP Pavilion Elite m9277.uk, a desktop PC?

  I would really appreciate an exact PSU for 500-600 w to €60 or less.

  My specs:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01469326

  I changed the 9800GT for GTS 250 1 GB GPU and I am upgrading again for a GTX 660.

  I have also excluded the tunner TV my PCI slot and no longer using HP removable HARD disc if Bay that makes a difference.

  Thanks for reading my long comment, I think I've met as a beginner, but bare with me, I'm not.

  It's like buying a car.  You pay the best features you get. Those you have posted is OK, a little low. The wattage is actually a trick few because a grade A 500w will in fact on most power cleanser in conditions normal operation than a budget model. Bonds, for example, put the better energy at higher temperatures. Any food you get these days will have the connectors you need. And in any case you can use a standard molex plug for power to the video card video cards usually have an adapter in the box. I personally like modular PSUs because that basically custom, you can do the installation and power cables that you actually need. None of the above are modular.  Modular costs a little more. The connector you want to be sure to have is the power of 6-pin pci-e. They have all taken P4 auxiliary these days. The first that you shown above has a list of connectors and I can confirm that it has everything that you will need.

  And the industry standard power supplies... ATX is a power of a specific size, and they should be inter changeable. Just to be sure, however, to measure the old and compare to the new dimensions. I've updated the power supply in this unit, and he was able to use the industry standard ATX power supply.

• Reference Dell 8700 and 460 Watt power supply: card of the highest Performance NVIDIA supported by Dell?

  What is the highest performance NVIDIA supported by Dell video card that you can put in a Dell 8700 using the stock 460 watt power supply? I put in a Geforce GT 640 in my 8700 for now but later want to upgrade without messing around with the upgrade of the power supply.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  'Officially', with the stock power supply, the GTX960 is the highest card, you can keep on XPS8700, 400W is enough for this card (will get mine installed tomorrow... MSI GTX960 games 4 GB).

  BUT, some people installed the GTX970, as well as a few model required PSU 500W min.

  It is the hope to allow you to take the "risk" or not.

  Remember to update your BIOS, first.

• XPS 400 PSU and GPU upgrades

  I have a xps 400 and I want to update my NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS to the Radeon HD 7850 2 GB graphics card. The current supply is 375 watt and I need at least 500 watts to run. Is there a powersupply upgrades for my system?

  http://www.TomsHardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review, 3107 - 4.html

  All latest versions of PCIe x 16 are supposed to be retro-compatible with all older versions.  While 2.0, 2.1 or 3.0 it should work.  It has also been shown that there is no significant loss of performance, put a card 3.0 on an old motherboard with an earlier version, when it comes to games.  After what you just said about a future update, go with the HD SA 7750.

• New video card, power supply upgrade

  Currently I have the Hp Pavilion p6754yand I recently GeForce GTX 560 it to upgrade my current video settings, so I can play my games in more graphically the parameters. Sometimes, however, computers would be turned off randomly, and I came to the conclusion that I would need to better food then one I had when I came to my computer.

  So basically, my question is that the Rosewell-RD450-2-SB would be clear enough to power my computer with the included video card, or I could do better.

  I hope that you have considered the special depth of this power supply? It is longer than the current unit. You have the additional thumb between the CD/DVD player, sheets, wire harness and the old PSU?

  Here's an upgrade with the Rosewill 630W continuous, who still has the depth 5.5 ".  Your added almost an inch. http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817182200

  

• Pavilion p6130y power supply upgrade

  Remember to upgrade the power on desktop p6130y Pavilion 300W at best it can support but couldn't find the answer.  Could someone tell me the stronger power supply that will support this device?  Thank you.

  Theoretically, there is no limit to what you could install. Reported desktop HP consumer does not not with supplies valued at more than 650 watts. There is absolutely no reason to replace your power supply unless you were planning on installing a graphics card high power or a large number of readers and accessories. Please consider the Corsair CX500, CX600, CX500M, CX600M. These power supplies are known to adapt to most HP consumer desktop computers and equip all but the most extreme updates.

  Please send BRAVO

• Pavilion a1540n Power Supply Upgrade

  I'm looking to upgrade my power supply (400w or greater) so that I can put in a new video card.  Known there for a replacement PS sources?  How easy is it TSE replace one of them?

  It's easy... Here is an article from HP technical support on a case that is very similar to yours:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01358091

  Basically,.

  Turn off the power and remove the side panel.

  Follow the wires of the power supply where they connect and lable them so that you know where they go - draw an image on paper to help remember you.

  Unplug the power inside the PC cables.

  Unscrew the 4 screws at the rear that hold the power supply to the case.

  Replace with a good ATX power supply. I would put in a power supply rated at 50 Watts higher than the required mark for the fancy video card you're shoving in you can even take the old power supply with you (if you buy in a store of the local computer). This way you can make sure all connectors that have used match and you will have enough connectors to all of your components.

  Insert the PSU and screw it with the 4 screws.

  Connect the cables, replace the side panel you and plug the power supply cord.

  Enjoy.

• What graphics card work on a p7-1026 Pavilion without a power supply upgrade?

  I just bought a Pavilion p7-1026. This is my first of all the computer set purchase because I always had my made-to-order systems. The CPU and the size of the hard drive and the plug is quite good for the price (I was looking for a cheap replacement for an old office) but I would like to make a few other updates. I'll add another 8 GB of memory, but I would also add a graphics card because I don't like the built-in graphics card.

  Is there a graphics affordable (about $100) with a minimum of 256 MB of memory, which runs on the power supply 250 watt existing and with no electrical connection needed? I watched some, but I've seen as low as 300 watts. If I need to replace the power supply, how can I find a compatible with this system. I looked at a site ('911' something) that has had a lot of listed HP models but not this one.

  Jay,

  Beyond that, you walk down this road, you really need to open the case.

  It only has 4 slots for memory and probably (2) 2 GB and (2) sticks of 1 GB of DD3-1333 PC3-10600.

  Your will does not add anything, you need to replace all with 4 GB sticks (4) If your planning an upgrade.

  New models are hard to return. You'll need to find the power supply model # for all references.

  BTW, this characterization of 250W is mounted. The (constant) nominal value is most likely 200W.
