Dell Precision M90 Windows 7 upgratde & 2nd HD questions

Hi all

I have dell precision M90 for over a year now, I bought it with the following configuration:

2.33 GHz processor

4 GB OF RAM

NVIDIA Quardor 2500

150 GB HD

the machine is a mazing, but lately, I decided to upgrade to windows 7 and I have two main issues between them.

has made a success improve two windows 7 with M90 cause I checked on the Internet and I see a lot of contradicting the opinions about it!

The second question concerns the storage, 150 GB is already not much with windows XP and all my installed software, so I am really worried about space during the installation of windows 7. I thought to add a second drive, but looks like a long process, the removal of pay media and obtaining a cradle for the new drive. that is not sold where I am currently. Is there is another way to install a second drive, if this is not the case, would you advice guys of the evolution of the lintierly in a car with the largest one, keeping in mind that the only ones I can find on the market is at 5400 RPM and 7200 rpm the the one I currently have is?

If you suggestions on the correct action would be really appreciated...

Hi all

Update our Crucial M90 with FX 2500 M with a hard drive CT250BX100SSD1 250 GB solid state and hospitality Windows 10 x 64.  Challenge was to find video drivers.  After several attempts and a lot of research, I found this info.  Extract the CAB file, went to Device Manager and update driver underlined in the extracted folder of CAB and video driver was updated and works!  All FX 1500 M, FX 2500 M and FX 3500 M are supported for 32-bit and 64-bit and earlier versions of Windows.

Impressive update Windows 10 and SSD brings the M90 about 10-15 sec.

  • Dell Precision M90 recently upgraded to x 64 Win7 can not get correct graphics, stuck with the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter Card

    I have a Dell Precision M90 laptop and recently upgraded to Vista 32 bit to 64 bit Windows 7.  Everything worked perfectly, except for my display drivers.  Windows 7 installed a driver called Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.  This driver has a very low resolutions only and cannot deal with games or same Aero.

    I had an experience with updated video drivers with Vista.  My graphics card is a NVIDIA Quadro FX 2500 M.  When I had Vista there is no Vista compatible driver for this card, so I used the Geforce 7900GTX driver (which is inspired by the FX 2500 M) and it worked fine.  Of course, the Quadro FX 2500 M doesn't have a driver compatible windows 7.

    I downloaded the driver for the 64 - bit Windows 7 Geforce 7 series so I could upgrade and use, however when I used the NVIDIA installer it says that my computer has no compatible hardware for this driver (I tried to install it in Vista compatibility as well).  I tried to force the upgrade by using the option "have disk" and choosing the .inf directly file.  This did not always and said that he could not work because "the selected driver for this device does not support this version of Windows" even if it is the version of Windows 7.

    I also tried to start my computer in safe mode, uninstall the VGA Standard driver and then install the driver NVIDIA, but it does not work either.

    Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to add as much information as possible I hope to solve this problem.  Thank you for taking a look and thanks for your suggestions!

    Fixed!  Finally!  Dell.com took the pilot... but the link that they had posted on the page of Precision M90 was mislabeled.  I tried another way, found the good pilot, and got, it works.  Solved the days and days of frusturation.

  • PRECISION M90 WINDOWS 8 DRIVER on Nvidia quadro FX 1500

    Good afternoon

    I've updated my Precision M90 from Vista to Windows 7 and after Service Pack 1 of Mircosoft problem to drive all has been resolved.

    Now, considering that on the DELL support site are not information on the compatibility between M90 and Windows 8 I believe in Microsoft Assistant who would confirm that the Nvidia quadro FX 1500 video card will be compatible.

    I installed Windows 8 and I have problem with video card: If stay with Windows driver I can not work because it is a generic driver and the video Resolution I not good.

    If I install the Windows 7 driver on Nvidia good office work support site but then when I go to menu "M", also well know Metro, the S.O. go out of mind and the new cyano BSoD appear on the screen.

    I have askd technical support Microsoft forum and they suggest me in the bad way that DELL must help me.

    So please can someone led can inform me if it is possible to solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    I had success with the driver, 185.20

  • Elgato HD60 Pro card causing "error allocation bar of e/s for pci device" at startup on Dell Precision T7500 (Windows 10 boots well after that freeze but occasionally)

    I have a Dell Precision T7500 with two processors, Xeon, 48GB of RAM, and recently I bought a PCI card captures Elgato HD60 Pro for streaming play.

    Whenever the card is inserted, I see an error saying to start (after the Dell logo and before Windows loads):

    "22/00/0: Error allocating I/O BAR for PCI device.

    I have 2 other PCI cards, which I removed and also tried to install the Elgato map on the other 2 slots, but the problem only goes away when the Elgato card is NOT installed.

    Any ideas?

    This is not a dell product.

    https://help.Elgato.com/

    Error allocating I/O BAR for PCI device

    strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility

    The PCI-E bus is version 1.1, but your card is version 2.1

    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/36783/Intel-5520-IO-hub

    Your Xeon processors are not listed as the min spec core I5 3 rd Gen.

    There is no solution for this its the same reason that OLD maps sound and TV Tuner cards also do not work in the latest and most recent machines.

    For PCI and PCIe devices, a BAR is a Base address register which is used by the BIOS or the OS to tell the device door on what looks to match its memory resources in. Most of the PCI devices in your system requires a certain amount of memory space, and the BIOS tries to adapt all inferior to 4 GB for compatibility with 32-bit operating systems.

  • Dell Precision M4700 (Windows 7 pro) starts not once configured with UEFI and Secure Boot

    To all those who can help you:

    I got a Dell Precision M4700 and I update bios A05. I was intending to move to Windows 8. Everything was fine and the bios update was successful. I started the new bios under Windows 7 Professional (base OS) factory-installed and was very good.

    However, I can't get into the bios (not even see the POST from Dell or Logo) after I activate the UEFI and Secure Boot.This before I update to Windows 8 Pro. Now I'm stuck with a blank screen (same LCD not lit) and nothing to start. It's like a dead PC.

    Help, please. Is that what I can do or should I contact Dell Support for repair?

    Thank you

    I fixed it!  Just removed the CMOS battery, the BIOS got reset back to factory default.  So I did:

    (1) remove the battery

    (2) press the power button to the case of ground

    (3) remove the lower panel

    (4) disconnect the CMOS battery (it's tedious)

    (5) I hit the power button for some time (30 s) to clear the capacitors or something else, it was my theory, but I doubt it's necessary

    (6) use it to all back to the start

    When I turned it on it turns on and turns off several times before finally stay standing and I was then able to enter the BIOS and all the settings have been restored to factory default.  I am new to Windows 7 on my machine so I'll repeat the process, this time without disabling the legacy option roms!

    Here is the disassembly for precision M6700 and M4700 instruction manual if anyone needs:

    I was talking about the Dell support problem and the guy said he would talk to his superior and see if something needs to be done, so I guess we'll see if something happens.

  • Dell precision 670 windows 7 64 bit running

    Hi can someone tell me how to change the operating system for the precision 670 to dell for windows 7 64. do we have to change the settings on the Setup? Please

    Thank you

    Changing what operating system? You can not alter the operating system or install 32to 64-bit without a cleaning. You will lose everything. 64-bit requires a processor 64-bit capable. Check your system information.

  • Dell Precision 390 and Windows 7 64 bit driver support

    We have a Dell Precision 390 and want to pass this to a Windows 7 64-bit operating system.  Several months ago, I noticed driver support for Windows 7 64-bit for the Dell Precision 390 model but pilot at the moment the site and downloads not support all these drivers for Windows 7.  It seems that the support has been removed.  At best, it supports only Windows Vista 64-bit.  Can someone explain why there is no support driver for Dell Precision 390 for the 64-bit Windows 7 platform?

    Tony

    I have a Dell Precision 390 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit loaded just fine and it is running.

    It is strongly suggested that you do a clean install.

    So I wiped my HD (after backing up personal files). Don't come to format your drive, I mean totally wipe it.

    Automatic updates will install the drivers you need for any connected device or visit the manufacturers for your drivers.

    So in short, "Don't sweat it".

    Go ahead and download this puppy goes for a few years.

  • Windows 7 works with the Dell Precision 670 computer?

    I have a Dell Precision 670 workstation. It came with Windows xp x 64. I later upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate x 64. The only problem I had at the time is that the host SCSI controller is not recognized by Vista. I used the XP x 64 drivers for the scsi controller and worked well. I want to upgrade my Vista x 64 to Windows 7 x 64. Everything else does? Doing a job? The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor reports the controller scsi HD as an unknown (just under the name Vista Upgrade Advisor).

    The HD controller is an embedded controller the Adaptec SCSI HostRaid (Ultra320). I was not able to determine the model # of the controller.

    A representative of Micorsoft with what I discussed this said as a general rule, if your hardware works with Vista service pack 1, you're usually good to go.

    On the Dell website, it lists the 690 as working with Windows 7. It is a similar job, but I can't say with certainty how similar.

    I saw him last night. I'll look over it.

  • x 8 connection distance MXI causes conflicts with my on my Dell Precision T3600 PCI slot

    Hi all

    The easiest to say is that I am migrating from a x 4 MXI explicit connection to an x 8 MXI express connection and when I do I get an error on the motherboard which is unable to load the single PCI slot.

    Error in WIn7 64 bit Device Manager reports a yellow exclamation point

    Device "Intel (r) 82801 PCI Bridge - 244 properties"

    The error listed in the device status box: "this device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31) »

    Unfortunately, I need this slot machine to run a card calendar to conjucton with PXI hardware. There is no anomaly when I used the x 4 connections with virtually the same loadout except for one Exchange a PXI-5122 (x 4 config) to SMU 5122 (x 8 config).

    If I leave the MXI PCIe card in but do not connect to chassis PCI slot SMU (and the fine card appear.)

    If I remove the PCI card into the slot, the error still occurs.

    I swapped the x 8 card and NVidia graphics card without success (the 16 x only two slots).

    I photographed the reader and removed the H310 Dell PERC RAID card and charged the RAID array RAID integrated Intel C600 and still no change.

    I have updated BIOS to A07 to latest A08.

    I updated the Intel Chipset at the latest on the Dell Web site.

    I guess that I just wonder at this point if someone is able to run a x 8 MXI express at SMU with a Dell Precision T3600, T5600 or a T7600 chassis.

    After much work by NI Applications Engineer Kyle K, this problem has been resolved.

    I'll post the solution to this PC dependent problem here, just in case it will help others in a similar situation.

    It seems that Dell sometimes uses one default BIOS quite restrictive on the number of PCI bus in these (and other). By allowing several PCI bus, you will be able to list all the devices in the sacrifice of some memory available for OS 32 bit running on 4 GB of RAM. No problem for me because I'm under 64 bit OS.

    Congratulations to Kyle even if he has not posted here yet for him give real congratulations.

  • Dell Precision T3500 speaker internal

    Hello

    I just installed an internal speaker in my Dell Precision T3500.  How to configure a Windows 10 system use this speaker?  The internal speaker made reference to the T3500 product documentation, but I have found no documentation on how to make it work.  I guess it's a cheap business speaker, so I know that the quality is not great.  I hope just to a few basic out of it sounds.

    Thanks in advance,

    Rob

    Until you install the OEM driver, it will not work. The oem driver install the ESP AUDIO Panel that "recognizes" the speaker.  The generic Microsoft driver does not support the internal speaker of business.

    AD198X and ANALOG Soundmax AUDIO must have AUDIO ESP to detect the speaker.

    ESP AUDIO Control Panel Soundmax Applet which 'sees' the speakers and the headphones etc plugged into the audio codec or NOT.

    The problem is that by default, windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 10 will use a generic HD Audio driver and therefore things like the internal affairs speaker will not work and soundmax Audio ESP does not exist.

    The solution is to install the Dell driver and let windows update to decide if the driver needs to update whql.

    It is a common problem.   The function Audio ESP asking you what is attached to the port is not enabled in generic win7, win8, pilot win10.  You will also need to install DOTNET 4.0 and Directx June 2010

    Before installing this driver.  You must also add the feature back for legacy Live Show on Control Panel.  If you do all the right things in the right order, it will work.  Control Panel, all the elements of the Control Panel, programs and features, windows features, turning on and outside

    Then do the check boxes.  You MUST BE online when you do this, because he lament not find features and who need to download them from windows update.

  • Dell Precision 7710 with NVIDIA Quadro M5000M problems with 3D WPF content

    I have a

    Dell Precision 7710

    6920HQ-i7 CPU @ 2.9 GHz

    32 GB of Ram

    Windows 7 Pro Sp1

    NVIDIA Quadro M5000M 369.49 driver version

    I bought an upgrade for my

    M6700 Precision

    Our company has developed and uses software that uses WPF to render 3D content in a XBAP in Internet Explorer.  When I try to use it on the 7710, 3D content flickers when it is redrawn, makes it almost unusable.  The stats we can get our application, we can see that time of update for refreshment / current is about 45ms, while on most of the other PC, even those using the integrated Intel graphics card, typically 12ms.

    We used this software on a large number of PC without feeling anything as bad, which is obviously quite disappointing because the laptop should be able to view we want to hassle.

    As far as I can tell all our drivers for everything on this laptop are up-to-date.

    We tried using the NVIDIA Control Panel to force the laptop to use the High Performance Nvidia Quadro rather than the graphics card integrated card and it seems to be made while we were able to do, it shows the icon in the taskbar notification and which showed that IE was using the Nvidia.

    I tried tweaking pretty much all other settings I can think / see.

    I tried to use the Dell Precision optimizer to select different profiles with no luck.  The Dell Precision optimizer seems not really demonstrate the use of the GPU processor or any other stats to see with the GPU, which seems odd to me.

    I ran Diagnostics on the laptop available on the Dell support site.

    I searched the net and found a few examples of problems with Nvidia and WPF cards, but none of these things that we found seems to apply to our application.  We have desktop computers at the office where he works well with other Nvidia cards / best of all.

    In addition, the fan on the 7710 will quite difficult sometimes - hard that I expect.  I tweaked the power settings to move less, but it always seems to run the fan more that I think it should / would appear on my M6700 - or maybe it's just a fan of stronger.

    So I wonder:

    If anyone out there has experienced something similar?  If so, any suggestions on how to fix or things to try would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    We solved the problem by making changes in our application software.  We still don't seem to be able to reach the same FPS as for the other GPU, which should be similar, but we're working on that also.  Perhaps because we are trying to run the application at 4K.  If anyone has a similar laptop and can provide details on the 3D graphics performance using any software comparative analysis, it would be great if they could share for comparison.

  • 4 TB drive added for dell precision t7400 but does detect that 2 TB

    Hello everyone,

    We had a Dell Precision T7400 running windows 7 Professional SP1 and we have added a new hard drive (4to), but it does detect that 2 TB of disk (already placed the GPT disk).

    I read in another post that I started to update the SATA drivers?

    Is this correct?

    Where are the SATA drivers?

    Thank you.

    Best regards.

    The drive is connected to the motherboard or are they connected to a controller card? The T7400 controllers (SAS 6/iR, PERC 6 / i) do not support disks larger than 2 TB. If it is connected to the motherboard, you must update the Intel RST drivers:
