• XPS 400 PSU and GPU upgrades

  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.

• This PSU and GPU will work with my dell inspiron 660?

  Hello

  I got my dell inspiron 660 earlier (2 years ago) and was thinking of upgrading the PSU and GPU (I'm not a big PC gamer so cheap products, I chose will be much used) anyone of you could tell me if it would be compatible with my inspiron and between them. And if not could you tell me some compatible CPU and GPU, my spending limit is £90.

  GPU - Asus GeForce GT 610

  PSU - power supply 600W Sumvision power X 3

  Thanks in advance,

  I think that the 660 has a 300W power supply.  What is the Min requirements for the GT 610?  I think you could slamming in there without having to upgrade the power supply at all.

• 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:

  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...

  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.

• DELL XPS 8100 noisy fan on Windows7 SP1

  I always noticed something with my DELL XPS 8100 Windows7 Home Premium.

  The original system came with the Seagate ST31000528AS, whenever the system was rebuilt from the reinstallation DVD, I noticed that if the drivers from DELL has not been installed, the fan would be extremely noisy nonstop.

  Recently my hard drive went, I bought a digital WS1003FZEX of Western.  Guess what, the DVD of resettlement is unable to complete Windows on it, I guess that the device was not supported at this time there.  I got a copy of Windows7 SP1 DVD of the trial and was able to install Windows7 Home Premium using the DELL license key.  The only problem, the fan noise is unbearable, even if I had asked all the drivers for DELL.  Can anyone recommend how to fix this annoying fan?  Do you know all the drivers that are required at this address?  Unfortunately, DELL has no new drivers for my out of the Service Tag support.

  Also, I tried the Technical Preview of Windows 10, the fan is very quiet.  Windows 10 is finally out, I heard that Windows7 users should be able to switch to Windows 10 free supposingly.

  The noise finally put fan hands on a picture of Windows7 without SP1, disappeared after having installed the drivers from DELL.  Don't know what SP1 was that the pilots did not help.

  Thank you for responding to this post.

• Dell XPS 8100 windows 10 update?

  Anyone have successfully improved a XPS 8100 to Windows 10? Microsoft says it is compatible, but Dell said it does not test Windows drivers for Windows 10 for this model and some things may not work

  I have Windows 7 64-bit. My inclination does not do despite aggressive reminders every day.

  I have a XPS 8100 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed.  I accepted the invitation of Ms. development upgraded to Windows 10 64-bit in August and apart from having to reinstall a few minor applications, have had no aging with the upgrade.

• Dell XPS 13 2015 and update of Samsung 950 PRO m2

  When I ordered my Dell XPS 13 May of this year, I ordered it with a disc of 256 GB knowing that I would upgrade eventually to a disk of 512 GB once the new discs of NVMe m2 were out. I didn't do well capture the variations in m2 and when I pre-ordered the 512 GB Samsung 950 PRO NVMe I expected to pop in and go. No luck. I should have known that they would not make it as simple as that... :-(

  The drive is compatible physically of course, but has the "M" key edge connector, while the drive I pulled the connector edge key "B & M. I am running the BIOS A05 on the Dell, but he can't see the PRO 950 drive at BIOS level. The integrated test tool indicates "no hard disk". If this seems to be a BIOS problem.

  Anyone have any ideas? Is it a question of Dell, he argues with a new BIOS update? Or it will never work because the XPS 13 is not compatible with this generation of pilots of M2? Looks like I need to go back to what happens, but if Dell eventually allows, I may buy it again.

  If it won't work, any suggestions on a 512 GB drive that works? Samsung XP941 or XP951 will work? An idea about the difference between the two (the XP951 is $50 + more).

  UPDATE: this player is not compatible with the Dell XPS 13 and probably will never be because of energy consumption (5-7 watts). You just don't want a storage device that power in your laptop. The Samsung SM951 512 GB is the best player at the moment.

  For the record, I was able to get the 950 is recognized Pro to install windows 10 on simply turn on the legacy startup options.  Once turned on my windows install USB he saw as installable media.  After installing the drive had an EFI boot sector, so I was able to disable legacy startup.

• Dell XPS 8500 PSU

  -Very well, so I have a Dell XPS 8500 and I wannt update my GPU. I just need to upgrade from my diet. So, I have a few questions.

  A. What are the dimensions of the PSU that comes with it.

  According to this site: http://www.911forpcs.com/xps-8500.html

  they are 6.00 "X 3.25" X 5.5 "(WxHxD). I want to verify that this is true.

  B. I was looking for a 750w PSU, I know I won't need that much, but I would like to have a few extra. So my other question can someone suggest me a PSU that adapts to the dimension XPS 8500 PSU.

  I have 2 that caught my attention, but I'm not sure if the dimensions space correctly 100%.

  EVGA SuperNOVA 750

  I guess that the EVGA does not because of the length is too long.

  Thermaltake SMART series

  Well I don't check the dimensions of the PSU original because I seem to have lost my tape measure instrument nor do I have a rule for the moment autour, but I was able to get this food to fit well.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817153174

  Enough length to fit well, not too close at the height of the motherboard wise and wise length fits well too. Have the ziptied cords additional and nestled under my CD player better than I can.

  http://PUU.sh/cmhy7/dfc97550e0.PNG

  http://PUU.sh/cmhKg/9758c4f972.PNG

  I'll post in here and I'll change my OP with the dimensions of the PSU original when I find my tape measure instrument or get a ruler.

• Dell xps 8100; Disk failure hard error 2000-0142 0 self test status 79

  Hi guys, I was wandering in the forums for a few hours, now looking for ana response to this question, and can't find anything clear. I have a XPS 8100 that I run a diagnostic and received a 2000-0142 error code that says MSG: error code 2000-0142 hard drive FAILURE 0 self-test status: 79 based on what I read in the forum is that there is a disk failure, and the only recourse is to solve the problem in my view is to replace the drive. Firstly, can someone please give me an absolute confirmation that it is indeed what I have to do, or is there something else I should do to fix this problem first? If a replacement drive is there someone could please tell me how can I do to get my OEM software off the coast of the partition recovery and on my new drive. I now office preinstalled and, of course, premium Windows 7 I would like to see on my new hard drive and I was not provided with one of the disks at the time of purchase. Thanks in advance to all those who respond

  Hi XPS8100kid,

  Welcome to the Dell Community Forum.

  The 200-0142 error is for hard drive failure and you need to replace the hard drive.

  Since the hard drive has not, you would not be able to access the partition recovery on it. Data would be lost and the software already installed on your computer will need to be reinstalled.

  Windows 7 will need to be installed on the new hard drive. Please click the link below to get the procedure of re - install Windows 7.

• Dell XPS 18 overheats and stops

  Hi guys. I have a Dell xps 18 who has recently developed a problem. With or without overloading the processor temperature starts randomly on the rise and the machine stops at about 57 to 62 degrees. Sometimes it's very good and sometimes it keeps it doing back to back. My computer has the replacement motherboard i3. The original has stopped charging the battery (plugged in, not not supported message) so I bought a motherboard replaced about 8 months ago. It has good cpu paste and everything worked fine until recently. Even he stops when it is in the BIOS. I was wondering, is it than 60 degrees is a dangerous temperature that is forcing the closure of the motherboard? The idle temp is about 30 to 40 degrees, then it suddenly starts to go up until 60, then dies. He does especially when is overload (no game, some software open), but still it goes up sometimes when he's just sitting there with nothing running in the background. I have to go on eBay new fan buy my second replacement card mother now lol? Any suggestion? I like my XPS 18 and it has served me well but have these serious problem began to really put me off it. Thank you very much.

  just an update on my problem with heat. the card mother ew (i3 US$ 50) arrived and installed a few weeks, I have been using and test the DEll XPS 18 heavily for the past few weeks without any problem so far. the operating temperature is 49 c (use slow and light) to 60 ° c (very busy) but now the motherboard stop no more. I also decided to use an additional quantity of thermal paste and I think the fan is working a lot quieter and less now. My problem was a faulty motherboard and then at the end second MB less than a year. I wonder when I will return here and announce that I am ready for a third replacement card mother lol

• Dell XPS 700 PSU failure

  Hello.
  So I have this problem with my diet (I guess) because to turn on my PC (Dell XPS 700), I hear a very quick tick of the PSU and a yellow led blinks constantly. The motherboard also has a light inside. This problem occurred after I tried to install DRR2 RAM for my motherboard because I had only 2GB. In advance, Yes, I did remove the new RAM and put it back in the old RAM, but the question is always composed. What I want to know is: what is the real problem, and if I have to put the money to repair, this replacement should I expect?

  As a side note, it's perhaps irrelevant, but I remember well the computer incorrectly. Off time to "Shut" took more than 30 minutes, so I just pressed the power button, until it is turned off. It might cause the issue, I don't know, I just thought it was remarkable.

  The power supplies used in the 700/710/720 were the same. The question is to FIND a such that the power supply is propitiatory.

  I'm leaning more towards the motherboard because these cards are really very fragile and are prone to failure at a pretty good pace.  There are controls on the motherboard that can cause food to act funny.

  As for two components a diet would be the cheaper to buy. You'll have to scout on sites like Ebay but to find a.

  The same would be valid for a motherboard and a jury of 700 I really think that most are non-existent. If you can find one, they are on the pricey side.

  Wish I could be more positive, but the fact that you have another one of these systems, which was still running is somewhat surprising. Most are now in a heap of junk now.

• The x 51 PSU and GPU upgrade?

  Hello

  I just bought the x 51 (http://www.amazon.com/Alienware-AX51R2-5726BK-X51AX51R2-5726BK-Gaming-Desktop/dp/B00FE8MJSO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404271057&sr=8-1&keywords=x51). I was a little disappointed by the performance (running watch dogs on smaller settings and still getting lag problems). I'm looking to upgrade to the R9 270 x, but external power skinny 240 watts does not seem to be up to the task.

  I found a post on this topic here: http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/t/19579742.aspx but do not see anything specific on the upgrade of the PSU. I also wanted to check that my X 51 will be compatible with the R9 x 270.

  How can I upgrade the PSU, and where can I get the right replacement?

  Thanks for the help!

  Edit:

  Yes, the R9 270 X is the fastest videocard supported for this model. However, the video card from this link does not have the X 51 R2.

  Supported in the X 51 R2 larger dimensions are 9.5 "length, height 4,376". The dimensions of this video according to Amazon card are:

  Product dimensions: 10.2 x 5.1 x 1.5 inches

  Note: The adapter from 330W should be enough for the 270 R9 or R9 270 X.

• After replacing the PSU and GPU in my HP Pavilion desktop computer, the wifi stopped working.

  I'm upgrading my pc, I plug a new PSU and video card.

  After successfully, I replaced and installed, I booted up my PC, but it showed that none of the networks or wifi connections are available.

  I read that maybe it's something to do with the antenni?, I noticed something that looked like antenni tangeled upward in the power supply cables, I did not use them. but I have no idea what could be the problem.

  Thank you for the information, @henry321.

  Yes, I suggest to leave the side panel on the computer and then move the led in the case and look at the signal.  You may need to route through an opening in the case is outside of the case.  I think I read that it is the best way to get a good signal.

• I have a dell xps with vista and get the error "unable to start windows.

  I can then choose the launch startup repair or start windows normally.  as soon as I clicked launch startup repair, he says that it is not able to PC repair.  I tried to enter safe mode, it restarts, flashes a blue screen and takes me to start the reboot system again.  I tried to run a recovery from a previous version of my sw windows (via the options in advance in the Startup Repair menu), but this does not solve the problem of boot loop.  I can get to a c prompt, but that's all.  I prefer not to use the dell factory image restore and losing all my files.
