• Update the video card in Dell XPS 8300

  I have the Dell xps 8300 Intel core i7-2600 processor 3.40 GHz AMD Radeon 6670.I graphics card would like to move my PSU and graphics card. I would like to know my high-end video card. I think on gtx 970. It works with my pc

  Maybe not. There seems to be some compatibility issues with Nvidia.

  A Radeon 7950 and corsair CS850M would be perhaps in order.

• The upgrade of my Dell XPS 8300

  Hello

  Currently, I use my Dell XPS 8300 with set up the following:

  • Intel core i7 - 2600 to 3.4 GHz
  • 8 GB RAM
  • GPU: Radeon HD 5770
  • PSU: 460W (AC460AD-00)

  It has served me well but shows it's age while I was looking to upgrade the graphics card and the power supply if necessary. But this is the first time I did something like this then I'd some tips / warnings on the potential pitfalls before buying something.

  After doing some background reading, I was thinking get a GTX 970 and upgrade the PSU, but I would like to know, questions, I could deal with that. I heard there were problems with XPS 8300 bios don't do not work well with graphics cards. I am currently on AO3, but there is no problem if necessary upgrade.

  My budget is around £400-£500 if anyone knows the best ways to update my PC.

  Thank you.

  Consider using this for now until you can buy new. Spending that much on unnecessary updates are not handy on a computer that is a few years old. You have a good installation now - 8 GB of ram, big power, i7 cpu that is best for your motherboard - as long as everything works. New computers can easily be purchased for what your budget allows for upgrades. The only thing to consider is a video card a little better that your power supply will take place as well as better control that you can use when you get a new computer. Ignore the upgrade of processor since that is not worth the expense or effort for minimal returns. You most likely impossible to switch the cpu to a newer version without replacing the motherboard. I would make sure to have the latest and probably last - bios A06.

• Dell XPS 8300 Motherboard case Compatability

  The Dell XPS 8300 motherboard is compatible with ATX, or Mini ATX case? Yes I'm sure it will void any warranty, none that doesn't bother me, but I need a new case that is not so cramped and room to run additional modding.

  
  

• Update for Dell XPS 8300

  Will be the 02 G-P4-2663-KR of EVGA Geforce GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 2 GB GDDR5 192 bits PCI-E 3.0 x 16 HDCP and the Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus RS-550-PCAR-E3 550w ATX12V V2.3 power supply work in my computer Dell XPS 8300. I ordered end of March 2012 and he received mid April 2012.

  Hi FuzzyTrex,

  Dell XPS 8300 comes with Intel H67 Chipset and a PCI Express x 16 card reader for the expansion of video card options. Dell has tested XPS 8300 with the following video cards:

  • ATI Radeon HD 5450 5670 5770 5870 6670 6770 6870 6950
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 GTX 460 GTX560Ti GT545 GT420

  However, Dell has not tested 660 GTX video card with XPS 8300, many users have reported he will be working and compatible with the system.

  EVGA GTX 660 requires a minimum of 450W power supply and has a maximum circulation of power of 140W. As you said that you would improve the power of 550W, the video card should work with this configuration.

  For installation/replacement of the video card, you can view XPS 8300 repair here.

  Note: Make sure that you follow the instructions in the manual before installing the video card.

  I hope this helps.

• Connection continues deleting Windows 10 Dell XPS 8300

  Hi all

  I have problems with my Dell XPS 8300, I installed the new 10 windows a few weeks back and since the installation of connection to internet keeps falling.

  My internet is with Virgin Media and I connect directly via an Ethernet cable to the router.

  Said my Broadcom Netlink gigabit Ethernet network card

  After doing some research I think my card is called BCM57788

  Thank you

  I'm glad to hear that I am not on my lonesome.

  I did as you did and downloaded the Intel scanner from their site. The only thing he told me was that I need a later version. INF file.

  I also watched the page drivers Dell, which is not up-to-date. Intel reported the update is not listed, but there is a BIOS update, when I try to apply it, saying that it is older than the current version. Not very useful.

  I'd install the Intel update but I'm not sure if it will work. There are a lot of guard, but not much reassure layouts.

  On top of that, Dell does not do anything to see if my machine is able to win 10.

  As usual, Dell are completely behind the curve on this.

• My Dell XPS 8300 hard drive fails? Intel Rapid Storage detects the error when starting upwards.

  My computer (dell xps 8300) has recently frozen and when it restarts it scored one of my RAID 0 hard drives as being a mistake. Surprisingly, my computer still works as always and after an investigation, I traced the gel to vuze trying to check a file after he was already down. I deleted the files causing the freeze and have not yet encountered any more freezing problems. But I'm still very worried, so I ran a disk check, who quickly said the disc is clean, and I also ran tests HD (Long & short) dell support center several times and they always say that readers are working properly. Today, I ran a checkdisk windows another who had a lot more time but seem to come clean. But to restart the computer disk was marked later once again as being a mistake. So I ran the tests of short and long and difficult road dell support center, once again, and the sound still saying everything is working properly. I then decided to try to start some other diagnostics of hard disk: seagate seatools and rescuer of Western Digital. The player has passed the tests of the Seatool, but almost immediately failed the tests of rescuer WD giving the error that there are too many bad sectors. Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated!

  Lack of an operating system is the message you get when in fact there is a properly peripheral storage seen by your BIOS, but it is not a valid partition with a valid boot sector table.

  I fear that you may have installed the operating system on a RAID-0 configuration and only now try to start from one half of the band?  Yes, you can WD 500 GB RAID-0 an and a 1 TB Seagate together.  It would be foolish (same capacity as a single player, but all the falls of RAID-0) but the computer doesn't know any better.

  The RAID configuration (breaking apart the RAID) must arrive before the installation of the o/s.  The RAID/mobo card is one of the early stages of the process, he takes these 2 physical disks and mounted as a storage to the motherboard, allowing it to boot from it etc.

  No matter what is happening currently, my advice would be to remove the RAID from the system discs.  You don't want a broken drive / failure connected, even if you do not use it because the computer will continue to warn / complain the RAID broke, the startup BIOS will be keep showing you a disc is seen mistakes SMART, and finally the failed drive can degrade to the point it actually damage something.

• Dell xps 8300 help!

  HEY man I m new here. I have Dell XPS 8300 bought a year ago and I currently have card nvidia geforce gt 420 and im interested to buy GTX 660 2 GB ram Nvidia geforece. Because it requires the PSU because it so advise me if my pc can handle this card with the purchase of a power supply (currently I have nothing just the pc as it came with gt420).

  Hi paryant,

  XPS 8300 comes with 450W power supply. GeForce GTX 660 Minimum system power requirement is 450W.

  However, to get the maximum use of the video card, it is recommended to use higher watt power.

• Change of motherboard Dell XPS 8300

  Hello

  I have a Dell XPS 8300 since 2011. Unfortunately, my printer ruined my motherboard with an electric shock. I put another card mother microATX in my PC? I've heard that some people had problems with Windows 7, it works with the card mother Dell OEM, but other wise I heard that it is only in the USA, a problem, because we in Austria have other laws. If it works, the old RAM will work with the new motherboard?

  Printers give electric shocks.  This is probably a power surge which fried the Mo and probably other hardware in the computer. Dell computers have motherboards owners so you would need a new Board from dell. It would be a waste of money to buy anything until you determine the extent of the damage. All the ram, processor, pci cards, etc. could also be goners. Best bet is to buy a new computer. Buy a computer for your new UPS battery backup unit.
  

• New Dell XPS 8300 constantly lock up... Help

  Hi, I have bought and received last week a new XPS 8300... Intel Core i5-2300, 8 GB of RAM... of the big problems right off the bat.

  The computer hangs regularly completely, making the mouse + keyboard is useless, and the only way out is to do a hard reboot (button for 5 seconds to turn it off, then turn it back on). There is no blue screen of death, rather the image on the monitor just freezes. What happens once per hour, which is totally unacceptable. There is no apparent trigger, it occurs while I'm on the Internet, while I'm in MS office, while the screen saver is on, etc.

  At first I thought that it could be a driver problem with the monitor (my Samsung, Dell no), but I installed the proper drivers and it still occurs. Then I thought it could be malicious software (even on a new computer), but a thorough analysis revealed nothing. I'm afraid now that it is a problem of the CPU heat and took to temporarily put a fan life-size in the face of the case of the Tower, which is already well ventilated. This has apparently slowed the fair of the grip, but they still arise. I have already installed a few programs and transferred a few files and really don't want to go through the hassle of referred to Dell for weeks.

  Any thoughts? Anyone with similar problems? It's maddening.

  Good news: the new video card works great.

  Problem: Freeze the system hard. To see if you're hard frozen, press [CAPSLOCK] - If your keyboard led doesn't change, then you're hard frozen.

  Overview of the steps:

  * Full system reinstall twice

  * All the drivers reinstalled twice (DELL and manufacturer)

  All change memory (and back)

  * Supply voltage test

  * Test memory full w / using Diagnostics: tester of Dell Diagnostics Memory Diagnostic Windows, Linux (Hiren s)

  * Checking the system with the Dell Diagnostics.

  * CPU - Z checking to ensure this chipset was not in the recall list.

  After all the Frost was still involved. So with the system in the State of origin (via Dell Restore), I installed a 9800GT graphics card and the gel stopped. I checked the ATI again, freezing, older drivers still froze. Reference Dell shipped a GTX560ti and the system works perfectly.

  It is not a widespread report of all cards ATI in i7 systems does not so I don't think it's just a driver problem, I think that the problem is related to this chipset supporting not communication with the GPU via the ATI drivers.

  Solution: Replace video card with Dell supplied GTX560 ti

  ----

  Note: For a few users NVIDIA with the gel, please follow all the troubleshooting procedures in hand with Support from Dell. Likely to start site: drivers, Ram, video card, storage.

  I hope everyone has good luck with them!

• XPS 8300 GPU Upgrade

  Hello

  I bought my XPS 8300 in 2011. He's been good for me over the years, but now I find that I could use a GPU upgrade. It handles most of the games, but barely meets the minimum. I'm still running Windows 7, but plan on spending at 10 at the end of the year. It has the stock power 460W Dell I have probably as well to replace it. I want the best move that will run on this system and fit in the case. It has the following specifications:
  CPU [email protected]
  16 GB of RAM
  GPU AMD HD 6700

  Thank you.

  As a reminder, Dell will not validate Windows 8/8.1/10 on this model. So, you will need to look elsewhere for drivers.

  Detail of video cards reported by users to work with our power 460w =
  NVIDIA GeForce GT 740
  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
  AMD Radeon HD7750

  Video cards with power upgrade retail =

• XPS 8300 GPU upgrade with parts question

  Hey all,.

  I'm looking to upgrade my GPU without having to touch my food or any other room in my XPS 8300. I am running with processor i5 to 3.00 GHz, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB harddrive (from what I remember off the top of my head since I'm at work). I read in many places that GTX 750 it would be a fine upgrade without having a problem of PSU or of the motherboard, but before buying, I thought I would ask if everything would be fine without compatibility issues. The link here is the card I have planned to go with, but wanted to know if there is all the more powerful cards out there that I can possibly use. I always use my AMD HD 5450 stock card that's why I'm planning an upgrade. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Anthony

  This is the best that I've seen reported on our power 460w.

• Update video card for Dell XPS 8300

  I'm looking for suggestions for a video card to replace the original NVIDIA GT420 DDR3 1 GB video card in my XPS 8300 running with Windows 7 64 bit.  The PSU is rated at 460 W (+ 12VA-18 a; + 12VB 16 A; + 12VC 8A; + 5V 25A; + 5V to the 2 0a; 3.3V 17A; and - 12V 0-3).  I would avoid upgrading the power supply if possible.

  The original of the NVIDIA card is a PCI Express x 16 slot.  I don't know if it's PCI Express x 16 or PCI Express 2.0 x 16.  Someone knows for a desktop XPS 8300 bought July 2011.

  Thank you.

  It is difficult to determine how quiet a card can be if you look on the comments of the people who bought the specific card you want, or you happen to find a professional opinion on this.   I find most of the double slot cards or cards with the biggest fans to shut up, so I don't think you need worry too much noise.   I have a Sapphire HD 6870 and it's very quiet.  I don't know the HD 7750 is fine for your application and games even if it will happen later.  With the game, you kind of match the video card with the monitor you own and resolution capabilities.  If you have a high screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 or more and you want to set this resolution, then you want a better video card.  After rebate, it may be that a difference of $20 between the 7750 HD and HD 7770 so keep that in mind also.

• Dell XPS 13 TrackPad issues after driver update

  After updating my XPS 13 Cypress Ultrabook drivers for newer drivers published yesterday on the Support from Dell downloads page, every action (although still active) have stopped working. The trackpad itself always seems to work fine after the update of the driver, but no gestures work longer. They all worked just before the update.

  I tried the normal game of toggle, restart, update. But if someone has had this problem or knows how to solve?

  Thank you

  After much research and with the help of Terry B with send me a second XPS 13 and taking my previous one back to the laboratory, I found that the issue is actually with my Antivirus software. I use AVG, and I am at a loss to explain how, but I can restore scrolling and other gestures to uninstall. I can reproduce again lose its Setup again and perform a restart.

  I am at a loss as to what why, AVG allows the driver to start and work properly by any other measure, however, I'm on the verge of scrolling of web pages for a new virus scanner!

• Update for the Dell XPS M1710 HDD issues

So I have a XPS M1710 with a 100 GB hard drive at 7200 RPM, under Vista, and I would like to upgrade, especially for a 320 GB 7200 rpm or 200 7200 RPM. I also have a 320 GB external hard drive. First of all, what are the steps I should take to do upgrade, im also really confused on the whole "image" stuff Second, how can I find out what kind of hard drive of my laptop is compatible with? Finally I live in Australia and the site of Dell Aussie exclusively from a like 1 hard disk, so doesn't Dell ship the hard drive of the America to the Australia?
