Dell Dimension XPS computer

Can be upgraded my desktop computer with an Intel Pentium 4 CPU clocked at 3.4 GHZ with a new processor?  I know that the RAM can be added.  Does make sense to upgrade or is it better to buy a new desktop computer?

Hello

This is not a value of upgrade CPU on systems that it will cost you almost like a new machine.

Worth buying a new desktop computer.

    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
    Serial number: 0007335T1246197B01FV

    Video card: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64 Pro 64/model

    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.

  • 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.

  • Dell Dimension XPS 400/DXP051 Power Supply Upgrade

    I was wondering if I can buy a more powerful PSU of the store of the local computer or I have to order it through dell.  I've heard more of a technician that dell power supplies use different connectors or are of different size (to fit custom cases I guess) that what is considered to be a 'normal' PSU

    The reason for this upgrade is that I had to underclock my new video card a bit to prevent it from being such a huge drain on the PSU, and he distillers get an error everytimet the computer starts.

  • What's Dell Dimension 2400 desktop computer capable of capturing a wireless signal? Should this function be switched?

    Dell dimension 2400 desktop computer was plugged into the wireless router we have. We got a new computer and moved the old desktop (Dell 2400) in another room. It is not picking up, or even searching for a wireless signal. She still has this ability? How can we it give this ability?

    The Dimension 2400 is not normally a built-in wireless networking capability.  To view, go to the Control Panel > Classic view > System > hardware > Device Manager and double-click network adapters .

    If that doesn't show wireless network card, you can add it by buying a USB wireless network adapter or a Wireless PCI adapter card .

    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...

    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.


  • 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.

    Answer please if you have any other questions.

  • New HP 2011 x 20 '' LED monitor for old Dell Dimension 2400. necessary graphics card?

    My in-laws have an old Dell Dimension 2400 and the monitor exploded. I bought a new HP 2011 x 20 '' LED monitor. My WIRE went to set up, and he tells her that a HMDI graphics card is required.

    This is a pretty old computer. I think he might have as... 512 MB of RAM. Is there an inexpensive graphics card that will meet their needs?

    And besides, when they buy the graphics card, are there all the cables that they must reach a new monitor to an old computer?

    Thank you very much!

    Nice description of Dell:
    Video connector to 15 holes :-)

    Seems to be a VGA connector.

    From the description of the monitor:
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02643130
    There is an also vga connector, so you will have no problem to connect the two.

    No additional card is necessary, no other cable - just use the old vga cable.

    Your only problem might be the resolution:
    resolution 1600 x 900 set at the factory for the monitor.

    I don't know if you can set the resolution to Dell, you should test.

    Otherwise a 4:3 normal/old monitor would be better than this 'big screen' new.
