Dell Optiplex 990 - Very slow RESPONSE

Hello

I'm new to this forum & don't know exactly where poster... then excuse me, if I posted in the wrong forum...

Well I need help to know about upgrading a system Optiplex 990 because I feel his slow work I need to increase the speed, here's the question I need help for:

Current configuration:

* Processor: Intel core i7 - 2600 processor 3,4 Ghz (4cpu)

* Ram: 8 GB ddr3 - 1333 mhz frequency - (dimm1 = 2 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB dimm3 = dimm2)

* Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 210-1 GB

* OS: Win 7 Professional - 32-bit

* HDD: 500 gb Sata.

QTS:

* Is it compatible to install win 7 Professional - 64-bit.

* What is the maximum Ram capacity that the motherboard will manage the frequency n.

* I have install an SSD instead of a standard HARD drive, if yes what is the maximum nerve for SSD.

Waiting for answers

What form factor 990 you: Tower, office, small or ultra compact?

You have 8 GB of RAM installed but only a 32 bit OS which can only use ~3.2-3.5 GB of RAM.  How is what would have happened?

How useless junk is running in the background?

RAM max for small office, Tower, is 16 GB, DDR3-1600

Max RAM for ultra-small is 8 GB DDR3-1600

This system should be compatible with 64-bit Windows 7 and Dell offers drivers for Win 7/64-bit.

According to you what form factor Crucial.com offers a 1 t SSD, but it's expensive.

The first thing to do would be to install Win 7/64-bit, because who can use all the RAM that is currently installed and see if this improves performance before anything else...

  • Adapted from food for a Radeon Graphics Card (for Dell Optiplex 990) 6450

    Hello

    I would like to install a graphic card Radeon 6450 in my computer Dell Optiplex 990. I already spent a considerable amount of time and money, the upgrade of the PC. However, the power supply plays in my mind a bit and in regard to the graphics card, I ordered for her and the form factor PC that seems to be a form factor small when I get my service in the site tag code, I want to make sure that I have made the right choice of first time.

    My system is attached (a 1st) as well as specific photographs of power supply and graphics card.

    I was told that I must really be consider a 400 Watt one. Furthermore. I understand that it's difficult to say without physically seeing the piece in question, but is there a standard size wise size that will fit in my case?

    If you need more details, please let me know.

    Thank you very much

    Steve

    Above is current spec system.

    Here are pictures of my current diet which I don't put everything (includes connectors - can you tell these if mine is ATX or the type that must be taken into account?):

    The graphics (Radeon 6450) which I have bought too soon! ( :| ) :

    One of more to come. Also, I think I have the right PCI port on the motherboard. Who is the answer, please be able to confirm if you certainly know I wish it is my board or send me a photo of one. (It is that with the kind of clip on the end of it, the long version thing)? -Sorry for my terminology!

    I would say your 709MT 240W power is very good for a 6450 which uses DDR3.  Not all current Dells use EPS12v ATX power supplies. You have only 2 slots and the card must be discreet.

  • Dell optiplex 990 SSF video / graphics upgrade

    I have a dell optiplex 990 ssf with a processor i5, 4 GB ram and 240w psu, my aunt made me for the school this year.  It is perfect to write the Lord's prayer and surf, but I also like to play video games.  I'm sure that the integrated graphics card is not much for games.   As I searched the forums here, I came across a factor of this card as mother to a 25w to the potential limiting pci-e slot limit.  This motherboard has only 2 16 x slots pci-e size and nothing more.  The documentation is clearly what motherboards of the 990 series optiplex has this limitation and that integrated video system is included.  Could you please help me as to what video cards I can use in this testbed?

    Currently my 2 considerations are:

    Radeon HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 128 bit PCI Express 2.1 x 16 HDCP Ready Low Profile

    or

    Radeon HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5 128 bit PCI Express 3.0 x 16 HDCP Ready

    Both are low-power and low footprint.

    I'm not on overclocking anything just to use this system for the games moderate occasionally.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi, personally, I have a Dell Optiplex SFF 990, the upgrade you are looking for is the Sapphire 7750 Single Slot low-profile. It performs much better and draws less power (7750 55W 6670 TDP 68W TDP) compared to the 6670.

    Beachmark 6670 and 7750 - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7770-7750-benchmark, 3135.html

    To add on, there is another additional advantage to free other 16 X (4-Wired) expansion card 1 X Pcie 4 Port Usb 3.0 PCIe slot.

    All the less is the configuration that I use and it's perfect for my use.

    I hope that helps!

  • Very slow response OR Executive Panel Test Switch

    Hello

    After you have installed the Developer Suite 2010 we have problems with the Switch Executive Virtual Device Test Panel. The problems has not been seen on old revisions.

    The Test Panel takes about 3 minutes to initialize. This only happens after that MAX was launched and the Test Panel is used the first time.

    In the attached example there is no committed material, the unit is in simulation mode.

    The same slow response happens to TestStand when you try to select the virtual device. Responses of selection after about 6 minutes, means that it takes 6 minutes for a list of all virtual devices available in MAX.

    I have attached the report of support of MAX, the configuration of the IVI, the export file SE virtual device and an example of TS.

    Any help on this appreciated problem.

    Thank you

    Matthias

    Hi Eric,.

    After you run the tool to remove the Corruption of database MAX Test Panel now works correctly and as expected.

    Also MAX launches much faster now than before.

    Thank you very much for your quick help and find the right solution.

  • Dell Optiplex 9020 fan slow speed

    Hello

    I'm pointing out the CPU of my Dell Optiplex 9020 and I noticed that the temprature rises and and the fan speed remains the same.

    I used a software monitoring temp to know what is the problem and you can see the main CPU temperature remains low, while the rest of them is much higher.

    Also, the fan speed remains the same...

    Is this normal?

    i5 / 16GB / 500 GB/W10 with all the latest news from drivers/BIOS using Dell order Update

    The fan speed when it hit 74ºC?

    The fan speed has increased during the diagnostics, which should have?

    You can go on the Intel site to check what are the temporary specifications for your specific CPU, if that will make feel you better. But same 74ºC seems not very hot.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro v10. 3 - causing very slow response

    Since the update to the new version, I have problems with very low response within the program.

    For example: after clicking on the space bar to play the timeline, it can take 10-15 seconds to respond - or sometimes it does not.  I try to rub back and hear no sound and don't see any video - for a few seconds and then all of a sudden he'll be there.  At other times, he'll play some audio as it moves on the script and then it goes to another clip and there is no audio.  I'll stop, scrub forward and backwards and eventually it will play the sound signal.

    Does anyone else know this?  It is originally I take much more time to do things.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • How can I fix the very slow response after the wake up the computer from sleep mode?

    Never had this problem until a few days ago. Using Windows 7. I want to use the "sleep mode" whenever I leave my office (be it for a few minutes or several hours). Always came back just as I left it (tabs, work-in-progress, etc.) until recently. If I reboot, everything of fine, up to what I use mode "time" again. So painful.

    Thanks for the tip. I disabled the accelerator according to your link and suggestions and the problem seems to have been resolved, at least for now!

  • Q: can you Optiplex 990 (with i7-2600 and 265W PSU) run a 750Ti?

    Dear people,

    Recently, I bought a refurbished DELL Optiplex 990 with 8 GB of RAM and i7-2600 and I am very satisfied with this system, but I would like to run some games on high (ish) definitions.

    That is why I want to upgrade the system with a GTX 750 Ti graphics card (for example: Asus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti STRIX).

    My question is:
    can the original systems 265W PSUS provide enough power for the upgrade? Or should I upgrade the PSU as well to have a stable operation?

    These 750Ti are originally designed for low current systems (they won't be able to take the PCI-e slot - max 75W - and have NO auxiliary pins). The Optiplex s 990 can be delivered with an ATI graphics card (with a circulation of ~ 68W of PCI - e), moreover specifications document 990 States that the PCI-e slot on the motherboard is evaluated with standard 75W.

    On the other hand, I think that this upgrade can really stretch the limits of the system, add more hard drives / RAM and/or insert some USB devices and the power supply isn't able to take it.

    Model: Optiplex 990
    PSU: dell d3d1c
    Power supply: 230 VAC
    PC: i7-2600, 2 DIMM DDR3 RAM (8GB total), 1 HDD (500 GB)

    While slowed the machine display but play games the machine will restart and crashed due to demands for more power that the unit can provide.  Standard CS750M of Corsair adapts well to the minitower.

    There is no upgrade for the smaller models.  I don't think Booster 450W power units no longer exist that fit into the optical drive Bay 5.25 inches.

  • Mini-Tower OptiPlex 990 - dedicated video RAM?

    Hi all. I recently bought a refurbished Dell Optiplex 990 MT, and I tried to increase the dedicated video RAM. It is currently set at 64 MB, and it's way, WAY too low. It has 8 GB of RAM in it, and I thought I could juice upward without falling another 200-300 dollars for a discrete GPU.

    I visited most sites say that there is an option in the BIOS, but I have no luck. I upgraded to the latest firmware (A19), but nothing. Did I just waste my money buying this thing?

    You have the latest Intel Chipset and Intel Graphics drivers? Go to the Intel download site and that his assistant scan your system for the appropriate drivers.

    Most likely, you cannot increase the amount of RAM dedicated to video, and I only see the option listed in the BIOS according to the service Manual.

    Video expansion card must not be very expensive so that even than a "plain vanilla" card could increase performance.

  • Laptop HP Pavillion DV7 - HDD1 real slow response

    I have a laptop HP DV72185dx of 2.6 years. It has two 500 GB HARD drive. The HDD1 is having very slow response of the week times last 1. I did a HARD drive test in BIOS menu. For HDD1 the quick test stopped at 17% with an error code of 303. Then he went into full test and stopped at 4% with an error code of 305. INTELLIGENT test succeeded. HDD2 passed all three tests OK. Pls advise if it needs a replacement HARD drive. If so, what type of HARD drive me I need to buy. Also is there a program that can ghost HDD1 data to the new drive HARD (I don't want to miss this chance on some software programs that are already installed.

    Note: I have Win 7 Home Premium (64-bit). I guess that my laptop warranty is over.

    Hello

    As you mentioned that the error code 303 said that the hard drive is down on the unit you will need to replace the hard drive. Please replace the hard drive the same capacity & if possible the same company as it will be easy for you if you enable active RAID please go through the below web link.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones very slow CPU speed.

    We have two BB bold 9900, we're working very well the other has very slow response to each action. even using the touchpad to navigate a huge delays. We also get the small icon of black clock all the time. There are many cases when the process is never ending and he must remove the batteery to reset the phone. Any thoughts? Thank you.

    A battery pull is always recommended to take the first step.  You have done this, then I would jump straight to a reload of the OS.  Why are we so slow 9900 and the other is not?  I really have no reason for that, but the reload of the operating system is a good step to take.  Not to worry even upgrade to a newer version, sometimes the same reload OS will do (update if a new version is available is however also recommended).

    To do this, connect your phone to your PC and open BlackBerry Desktop Software.  Click on the device at the top of the software, then click on restore.  Load the last restore point.

    Let us know if that helps you.

  • Satellite L850-1LK - keyboard response is very slow

    MY laptop keyboard response is very slow.

    I'll have to press the character for about 3 seconds before what that what is on my screen, please help.

    I assume you have all new laptop. Initially the laptop is very busy with many services and loading Basic applications. Windows Update is set to automatic and it looks permanent new updates and install them in the background.

    I'm pretty sure that the HARD drive is busy when you try to write something.

    What you need to do is the optimization of operating system pre-installed. With other words change Windows update settings and stop commissioning for some useless but preinstalled applications, and additional software.

    Please check a little and post comments.

  • Very slow start and run for Dell Inspiron 6400 XP times

    "I have a problem with an Inspiron 6400 brought to ' horribly slow start and run time.  XP Pro 32 bit SP3 patched up to date.  Cleaned up a lot of "undesirable", as the partially uninstalled programs, cleaned the files temporary etc. with CCleaner, cleaned and optimized the registry afer all the cleaning has been done, defragmented, tried to start without any of the boot files, disabled all unnecessary services and uninstalled virus checking software, (but ran several anti-virus controls) etc. - no help.   Safe Start Mode is faster, but... not at all normal - 1 1/2 minutes of screen to logon instead of close to 3 minutes.  A lot of memory (2 GB), which rises to 600 to 700 MB runnng all the stuff I've tried.  Hard drive is 1/3 used out of 120 GB with a 2 GB swap file.

    One thing I'm still scratching my head over - beyond the horribly slow boot - is very slow access to files even though everything seems to work normally, but as molasses in January.  Looking at the performance of the Task Manager tab when I run a copy of a file (whether via a cmd window or with Windows Explorer), I see a near max processor would be and the other with a small business.  Even if the customer says he had been getting worse for some time, after checking and cleaning of all things 'normal', my next thought was perhaps a bad disk or disk controller driver, but chkdsk ran very well (although it took hours) even if I ' d I have already updated all drivers (and even the DVD firmware and BIOS) on the Dell web site.  Oh, and I ran Dell Diagnostics (from bootable CD) updates all with no errors found.  And access to the slow file even with symptoms had max-processor occur with a copy of the file on a USB key that seems to eliminiate the hard disk, the disk controller and the pilot.

    The other interesting part of the display for a file copy task manager is that the processes tab simply shows System Idle 97 to 99%, with a percentage of casual for other processes as Explorer while I see 1 max out procesor on the performance tab.  That the same copy on your desktop shows 3-4% of the CPU usage and who is with active antivirus software.  I'm almost ready to fall toward a Windows reinstall, but would like to find the real reason behind this problem of puzzle...

    It of almost as if he's using PIO instead of DMA disk access, but... don't know how/where to test this.

    Look at:
    and

    Solved!   Thanks for the links, especially to each other.  An old but still a goodie!

    For those who have enquring spirits (and anyone else who stumbles across this thread), the primary IDE controller has been set to PIO and locked it.  Who would have thought that Windows slowly reduced the transfer speed, whenever he saw 6 errors on an IDE device until it has been reduced to PIO and then he locked it?  But the procedures described in the link of winhlp.com showed how to solve the problem.

    There are actually several problems that led to the final symptoms.  According to KB817472, the Atapi.sys has been improved in XP SP2 only degrade the speed of transfer on 6 consecutive errors instead of 6 cumulative errors.  And even though everything I have (Microsoft update) was seen and showed that this area was to SP3, I found that the driver for the controller layer IDE was the SP2 version.  Someone ran sfc previously perhaps?

    Oh, and I know now that the Task Manager process tab does not time processor kernal, but the performance tab.  Good to know...

    Thanks again to all who have responded.  Starting at the time of connection-question now is 40 seconds.   You'll love Untra DMA mode 5.   There is still a lingering question in my mind, since I've had the same symptoms of slow copy of a file on a flash drive.  Perhaps a link in some way to the way that Windows treats a flashdrive as a "drive"...
