• Noise of Dell Studio XPS 9100 CPU fan failure CPU fan

  My Dell Studio XPS 9100 did a loud intermittent noise for a few months and then last week I got a CPU fan fault message while booting. I blew all the dust from the fan and I always get the CPU fan failure message. I finally got the system starts by placing a small fan blowing air into the funnel will CPU/processor fan.

  Alas, my warranty expired 2 weeks ago. I'm kicking myself contacting technical support a few months ago, when the problem started.

  I need to replace the fan. What parts need me, and where can I get them?

  Thanks much for the reply.

  Thank you. After being tossed a little I transferred to the sales and ordered a new CPU fan for a cost total which includes shipping and taxes of $42.25. Too bad it wasn't 2 weeks ago, then she would have been free.

  The seller said that I would not need thermal paste. Is this correct?

• A Dell Studio XPS 9100 usable RAM ECC?

  A Dell Studio XPS 9100 usable RAM ECC? And can we use memory faster PC-10600 and can it use more than 24 GB memory RAM?

  Manual says: 1333 MHz DDR3 NO- ECC only and max is 24 GB.

  Crucial.com offers PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 RAM for this system and it is usually a good indicator of what will work, at least when the use of RAM bought from them.

• Cannot start Dell Studio XPS 9100 - is the PSU?

  These symptoms are compatible with a faulty PSU?

  I have a 4 years, processor Dell Studio XPS Desktop Intel i7 960 (expired warranty) 18 GB DIMM: 64 Bit Windows 7 ultimate OS.

  Computer will not start. (Dell 0M1J3H 525W) POWER supply has a green LED on the back of the envelope of the computer with a black switch diagnosis. When the computer reads the green light is on.

  If I press the Start button nothing happens - the white light on the Start button does not illuminate. But if I press the button to start for at least 12 seconds then release and press it again the logo Dell at the edge of the bezel turns on for a second and the fans turn at 20 degrees, but the computer does not start and there is no light on the Start button. The same thing happens if I press the black test on the power supply switch after the button of start for about 12 seconds. If I quickly press the test switch repeatedly from 40 to 50 times, four fans will turn a little bit but stop as soon as I stop to press the test switch. If a power is to learn in the light of the collar and the fans, but the computer starts and the green light does not go or flash. As directed by Dell, the green light is supposed to be activated when the current flows through the power supply and the green light is supposed to flash if I press the test switch when the computer is turned off.

  More Dell' diagnostic instructions I disconnected the motherboard and all the readers and the video card in the PSU, but the test was always negative, that would normally indicate a defective power supply.

  However, if the front bezel blinking on and fans to be powered for a fraction of a second, which excludes a failure of the power supply?

  GENERAL INFORMATION: One night several months ago fans have started racing as the computer was overclocking but my meter showed only 30% CPU usage. Computer subsequently began to lose power and restart at random times.  No crash dumps or stop. Just a loss of power and a reboot. Sometimes the auto restart would work and sometimes it wouldn't. When the computer restarts will not it will not re-start and there was no light white or orange, when I pressed the Start button. If I hold the start 12 seconds or more and then released it and press start logo collar flash momentarily, but no start and no other light. I would try restarts several times, sometimes by pressing the button start hundreds of times before the computer would finally boot. When you start the computer it would normally sometimes several days before losing power again.

  The last restart was more than a week and the computer normally lasted more than a week until yesterday when he lost power.

  I think that the power supply may be bad. But the only other time that I replaced a power supply on an old HP Pavilion. In this case, the computer was completely dead. I'm confused by the momentary illumination of the Dell logo on the collar and the shaking of the power to the fans. Which excludes a failure or default PSU?

  The button BIST says that the power supply is bad.  The BIST button isn't the power button.

  The LED on the back does not mean that the power supply is good.

  The BIST (built in Self test) is LED and button are for.

• Dell Studio XPS 9100 integrated video card?

  Hi guys, I own a Studio XPS 9100 and I currently have GPU issues.

  I want to use my PC without having to rely on my graphics card. The studio XPS 9100 has an integrated video processing system? If so, how can I connect to that?

  I am aware that the Studio XPS 9100 is not an integrated video connector, and I have to use the connector available on the video card in the expansion slot to connect to my monitor.

  Hi Poorbeggarman,

  The card mother Studio XPS 9100 has a GPU integrated, but it is disabled, and there is no way to enable it. You have no other choice than to replace your video card.

• External port eSATA Studio XPS 9100 does not

  Hi all

  I have a Dell Studio XPS 9100and external eSATA port does not work or it is not detected. I have a Seagate FreeAgent external drive and it can't detected, and it is NOT power up when I plug it into the eSATA port. The FreeAgent drive works fine as it is detected on my laptop Dell Studio XPS 1645eSATA port. The drive is detected on the 9100 when I use the USB cable to the drive (plugged into a USB port, of course).

  I tried to do some research online and some suggestions were to activate via the BIOS eSATA port, but the eSATA port is enabled in the BIOS. The wrong driver is installed on the device? I see the Intel ICH10 Family 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller-3 has 22 in the Device Manager. Is this the right driver to recognize the external eSATA port or is there something else wrong with the 9100?

  Does anyone think that the external eSATA port requires an external drive with its own power supply? The 9100 is a 2010 model year environment, but I think it should not require a player with an external power supply.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hi all

  I grabbed an eSATA disk that has its own power supply (AC adapter) and trendy source on eSATA back port and he recognized the car.

  It seems that the Dell Studio XPS 9100 has of an old eSATA port requiring a drive eSATA that she is clean in order to be energy source active on its external eSATA port. If you try to use a disk without its own power supply eSATA it won't work because the former eSATA ports enabling the way as the USB ports and the new USB ports hybrid eSATA . My laptop Dell Studio XPS 1645 a hybrid one of these ports so apparently it is why my Seagate FreeAgent working on it and NOT on the 9100 desktop. You can't plug a USB cable in the 9100 eSATA port certainly isn't a hybrid eSATA port.

  I guess I solved my own question.

• Studio XPS 9100 drivers

  I plan on finally replace my boot with a Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD drive. I had a great experience with the Samsung 840 250 GB big on my laptop.

  I intend to do a clean install of Win 7 Pro 64 bit.

  The most disturbing aspect is always the drivers: I find the Dell Drivers page very confusing because even when I let the Dell software detects my system, it gives me many more options that I think I need, including multiple versions of the same driver.

  Is there a centralized place where I can only get the drivers I really need?

  The basic specifications are given below.

• Dell studio xps mt135 dead, no fans, no brief power LED blinking when press button

  Dell studio xps mt135 dead, no fans, only brief flashing of LED power when the button pressed.

  I'll have to open it - thought I would like to reset the BIOS settings, see if all 6 GB of RAM work.  I recently made a change to the registry to activate the disk cache system.  Windows 7 is installed.

  I don't think that this has nothing to do with the other question, that I asked audio problems.

  If you can not help me with this problem, please suggest a hardware problem diagnosis forum.

  Thank you.

• Studio XPS 9100 video card update

  Hello

  I currently own a Studio XPS 9100, I am looking to update my video to a Nvidia GTX 660 card. My first choice of the map would be the GIGABYTE GV-N660OC-2GD, but I am concerned about cooling in my case, since it's a map outdoors. The card that's in there now is the Radeon HD 5770 standard with a closed around the map case. I know the case of XPS 9100 doesn't have a lot of fans and I wonder if I'd be better off getting a card with a case like the one that is there now, those who are better for internal cooling cases or are the two models of cards very well to use this system without modification?

  This card should work, but as you said would be throwing air hot back on the case and may not be the best for a stock case, unless you upgraded your fans or have a power supply that can compensate for the extra heat.  Should work well.   If you keep your machine in a well-ventilated vs in a Cabinet, you should be ok.

  If not, opt for one of these reference maps which has the shroud designed to channel air on the back of the card,

• Dell Studio XPS too noisy!

  I have a Dell Studio XPS 9000 with a Radeon 5870 graphics card that makes too much noise. I think it is the fan noise. I called technical support, which replaced two fans. Did not help - if anything, it is now more noisy he was! All idling, it is not quiet.

  The system is about a year. (Is there more than the 2 fans in the system by the way?)

  (1) can anyone suggest how this system down?

  (2) I contacted a vendor third 3d that makes fans more silent, so-called, but the seller must exact model or type numbers or something Dell fans. Does anyone know how to find out exactly what kind of fans are in the Dell XPS and also exactly what solutions third-party 3d for quieter fans there are, if any?

  It is also an old thread, you should start a new one.

  I assume you mean a Studio XPS 9000.

  This model according to the configuration guide, has no onboard video and no on-board video port is shown in the figure on page 20 of this installation guide. If you cannot select video...

  What do you mean by "the noise of the fan? It's just the fan spins at high speed or is it squealing or some other noise?

  You can open the case and make sure the fan and vents are clean. Use canned air to blow 5 - year-old dust of all components.

  And if this started after a recent update of MS, you can consult the Web of AMD site for an updated driver for the video card today, that works with any version of Windows that you are using before you spend money unnecessarily.

• Form factor card mother Studio XPS 9100 / size?

  I'd like to see if I can move at my Studio XPS 9100 motherboard to a smaller form factor case, but I don't know the size of the Board of Directors. Looks like it came in a full tower case. Does anyone know what the smallest case, is that it will fit inside? Maybe Micro ATX?

  Studio XPS 9100 manual shows all connectors of the motherboard and their functions for wiring. The question is whether or not the jury it self is mounting holes are identical to a standard size ATX motherboard. If this is the case, then it should fit in an ATX mid tower size.

• DELL Studio XPS 1645 Windows XP Audio drivers

  Hello guys,.

  I desperately need drivers for my DELL Studio XPS 1645 Windows XP Pro SP3 compatibility

  I know that 32 bit OS does not work well with my processor and RAM, so do not mention please, I use this for the programming of the car.

  Tried ABSOLUTELY everything imaginable I stumbled upon Web sites after searching, but didn't help at all :(

  No sound from speakers, no sound in the headphones, nothing...

  Guys, H E L P :(

  Dell gets from the provider, IDT HD drivers. I don't know exactly how the procurement process, but I guess that when Dell order equipment for a specific system, drivers for operating systems that Dell intends to support are included in the order. If it's something like this then of course a manager can later allow the expense of having a driver written for an operating system that is not supported on a discontinued model.

  The operating system of this forum section has a driver request thread. Someone there might know of an alternative audio driver which might work on your system.

  One solution is to get an adapter usb audio.

  I don't know what "join" - it's something to do with virtual XP?
