• Dell XPS 8900 media card reader write protected: how to remove the protection?

  I use the card reader to write mp3 files on a micro-SD card to use in a small MP3. Until today, no problem. Now I get the error 'write protected' - and it is not because of the tab in the adapter SD being in the wrong position.

  There were a few quirks days when card readers are presented as explicit readers in this PC, but this phenomenon disappeared when I restarted the computer. I suspect that this may be related.

  Advice as to how do these ports without protection would be appreciated. Meanwhile, Plan B, using a to a USB external card reader works.

  Also: Run Windows 10 as originally installed on the computer.

  The outcome: diskpart approach after trying and failing, I decided to try canned air in the slot for the fourth time (this is what I did the first time that the crack would not read and later that day).

  This time I gave him a dose really long and deep air under pressure. And voila, he now writes and reads.

  Sorry to take all this space on what turned out be a non-issue, or should have been.

  I have three other computers with media slots, two of them for close to three years, and no one has posted this question - as in my XPS 8900 after only three weeks of minimal use of niche.

  Guess never say never is a good adage.

  Thank you

  Hi AdaJiuq,

  Good day and welcome to the community!

  I wanted to just make sure that what you are referring is a XPS 630 and not an XPS 630I. As shown in our records as the Amd Radeon 7950 Nvidia Geforce Gtx 660ti are compatible with the specification XPS 630I parts. I hope this helps. For what anyone else, just let me know and I am happy to help others.

• Looking to update the graphics card in my Dell XPS 8900 EVGA GeForce GTX 960.

  I have a Dell XPS 8900 Special Edition that I bought a few months ago. I want to upgrade the OEM GeForce 745 of GTX that it came with an EVGA GTX 960.

  I have the Dell XPS 8900 (processor i7 - 6700 k), 32 GB of memory, 2 TB HDD + SSD of 32 GB m2, monitor cache Dell UP2516D and Windows 10 Pro. I'll add a second monitor Dell UP2516D soon and later add an SSD and move the OS and applications on.

  My needs are not at stake. I mainly business applications (MS-Office, including access and project), finance and investment, and a lot of photo and video editing.  Photo editing software uses the GPU if I update.

  EVGA has suggested either of the following, based on what would be good:

  http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-1961-KR

  http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-3963-KR

  These cards are almost identical except;

  #1 is long of 6.8 ", has 1 BIOS, 1 fan and use 128 watts for $160

  #2 is 10.1 "long, has 2 BIOS, 2 fans and consume 160 watts for $170

  I thought I would replace the graphics card myself, but once I opened the folder, I was wondering if the two cards will even fit.  I saw that other people have swapped their graphics card, so it must be possible.

  When I look in my case, the existing graphics card is a single location.  These two cards are double slot.  In addition, it seems that there are a few transistors just next to the existing card.  When you install a card double slot, the new map is just overlap the transistors under?

  Finally, in view of these two cards and the XPS 8900 case, is it possible to put the card in?  Is it worth the extra $ 10 earn an extra BIOS and fan, to the detriment of one more card of time and 12 watts?

  Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated, thank you.

  Dual cards fit without any problem. Many have improved their 8900 XPS and 8700 with cards that need two slots of width.

  I prefer the models dual fan as they run cooler. They have a bigger heat sink and with relatively low heat from GTX 960, some are silent at idle because the fans do not work.

  For example, MSI GTX 970 son fan only above a certain temp that only happens every game. Maybe the EVGA card did the same thing. It is nice to have a quiet system at idle.

  Regarding the adjustment, the MSI GTX 970 games 4 G card Dimensions are (mm) 140 x 277 x 35. Length and height are tight but it fits without cutting.

  In addition, as noted speedstep you run SATA cables under the card. I replaced the SATA cables with longer cables, so they route toward the front of the box, then under the graphics card and upward.

  This thread has many cards different people have added. (the link is on page 26) and about the halfway point is my son with the MSI GTX 970 system, which (I think) is slightly larger that the EVGA 960 you listed.  It also shows the case mod to add a front fan.

• Updates for the SSD of 32 GB LITEON m2 on a special edition of Dell XPS-8900.

  Has anyone successfully upgraded Cache SSD m2 on their system XPS-8900?

  I have a Dell XPS-8900 that I bought a few months ago, and you want to update the cache of hard drive SSD m2.  The system has 2 to 7200 RPM hard drive + Cache SSD of 32 GB m2, 16 GB of memory (which I'm upgrading to 32 GB) and the processor i7 - 6700 k.

  I tried to replace it with either the Samsung 850 EVO m2 250 GB SSD or the Samsung 950 PRO NVMe 256 GB SSD.  I read in another post on the forum that the limit for XPS-8900 in the m2 slot was 256 GB.  Anyone know if this is correct?

  If anyone has any ideas on how I can change my system to tighten a bit more performance out of my system, I'd greatly appreciate your ideas.  It seems a little slow at startup and loading applications than I expected.

  It is not necessary to install a larger disk for use as a cache - it won't do much (if any) for performance.  There is a valid argument by replacing the disk cache with an SSD of larger m2 and then by installing the operating system on this drive (that is, running in native mode of SSD).  That WILL stimulate the acceptable performance.

  I doubt that there is a limit on the capacity of the drive - but there is no doubt about the physical size of the map itself.  Note that this system is NOT wired with an interface of PCIe 4 ways - then install a player is not worth the extra cost, because it will be limited by the design of the motherboard.

• How to install the second hard drive in the Dell XPS 8900

  My new Dell XPS 8900 only has a single HH and I would install a second HH.  Probably 3.5 SATA internal a 2 T.  I need a repair of XPS 8900 so that I know how to install the second disk.  I just need a few simple instructions so that I know how attached a data cable SATA and do the go by car.  Direction will be appreciated.

  You will need the drive AND a data cable.  The manual is here:

• Update hard disc on the special edition of Dell XPS-8900

  Hello, I have a Dell XPS-8900 that I bought a few months ago, and you want to upgrade the hard drive.  There to 2, 7200 RPM hard drive + Cache SSD of 32 GB m2.  I noticed by looking at the disk management, it has 2 free sheet music; a 39 MB OEM Partition and 11.73 GB recovery Partition.  Both show that they are 100% free.  I created the recovery USB disk and it deleted the recovery Partition files.

  Should I still have the Partition recovery or the OEM Partition?  When I switch to a new hard drive, is it possible to simply copy the partition of the OS?

  Also, I thought that he would have an EFI System Partition.  Is that what I need or installation?

  UEFI allows secure and start for 2 t boot partitions format: those are the two major differences, as well as the withdrawal of the restriction to have four primary partitions per disk.  Those who are not important here.

  I don't think that there is a capacity limit on the m2 in height slot, but there is most likely a limitation of the physical size of the map itself which may restrict your ability.

  You will get the best performance from the system running the operating system for one SSD drive for some.  You can easily find 2.5 "SATA SSD affordable up to 1 t in size now.  Drives 2.5 "tend to be less expensive than m2 format disks, although NVMe readers (whose prices are in the stratosphere), they are largely very reasonable in price for the exception.

  I would not necessarily fear disks 3.5 "Toshiba - these are in large part the designs of Hitachi/HGST (Toshiba entered the market of disk 3,5 '' when WD resumed HGST - the Chinese Government opposed the consolidation to two manufacturers of records based in the United States and forced to WD to spin off plants making the disks 3.5" to Toshiba).  The HGST designs have a good reputation for reliability - much better than those of Seagate, for sure.

  You are probably better off with a straight on the clone of the drive.  You can use the Windows Disk Administrator to change the partitions later.  I had the good luck of late with Macrium Reflect (free), but Acronis image works well - and Samsung provides a free version of it if you choose one of their SSDS.

• Dell XPS 8900 System Desktop Computer "freezes and crashes.

  Recently, I bought a desktop computer Dell XPS 8900 with system Windows 7 professional responsible pre OP. The first thing I did was to make a list of list of all components of the system, the date and version of each. Then, I went to the Dell website, enter the number of computer and created a list of all the updates from Dell for this computer. Then I downloaded and installed all updates component except the update of BIOS that was the same version but there was no date for her.

  I have known hang ups and freezes since the beginning of the use of this computer and I keep having the same freeze and hang ups.
  With the number of complaints for the same problem, regardless of the operating system, you'd think Dell management and sales would recognize that there is a legitimate problem with this computer and assign their engineers to research the problem and issue a recall or a fix to the XPS 8900 users. I am a long time professional computer with more than 45 years in the it community. I always trusted Dell and their products recommended to family and friends, but also contacts in the it community and potential buyers. Dell can either acknowledge the problem with this product, and take appropriate corrective action or they can ignore the problem that won't go away, but the buyers of Dell products will be when the word gets out. I feel more comfortable buying or recommending Dell computers or for anyone.

  I am a computer programmer as well.  I seriously think to change my loyalty to another brand like HP.  It of outrageous they basically ignore the question, without taking into account my emails and means "Well" in phone calls.

  Hover over the HP forums if you think it's better there.  Lenovo also has their forums. So tell me what all the roses 'out there '.

• What GTX 960 should I use to upgrade my Dell XPS 8900

  I recently purchased the following Dell 8900

  X 8900-3756BLK Dell XPS desktop (6th generation Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 2 TB HARD + SSD of 32 GB drive) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 with 4 GB DDR3

  I would like to replace the graphics card (I flight sim a lot) with a GTX 960 4 GB of DDR5 memory card, either myself or have a computer repair place do it.

  What are specific cards would be easier to install in my machine - if I get 960 GTX, I see all sorts of cards of different lengths, 1 and 2 fans, etc.

  I want to buy the next card, if it must be installed easily...

  Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 4 GB GDDR5 PCiE graphics cards GV-N960OC-4GD

  A new graphics card would be difficult to install myself?   What is involved?

  Thank you

  Steve

  The 8900 XPS and 8700 share the same case so if you look in this thread, you will see the cards that match and cut cards requiring a certain case.

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../19611037

  I can personally attest to the MSI GTX 970 games 4 GB fits so check the size (length and height) and less it should fit without a problem.

  If you can wait a few weeks or perhaps a month, the GTX 1080 seems to be a surprising card to the prize draw and power. It's going to be a little more expensive, but much more capable.

  The installation is easy. search for youtube videos and you should find one.

  Edit: and you can sell your GTX 745 on ebay and recoup some of the cost.

• (Redirected) Help! Dell XPS 8900 can't stand Windows Pro 10 - update and Support nightmare!

  Is anyone else having problems?  I'm on my third dell machine and the 3rd time by installing the operating system and all my software.  Reference Dell tells me that all drivers on the XPS 8900 System (supposed to be a premium facility) must be updated.  There are questions that are incompatible with the Intel chipset, drivers wireless, Nvidia graphics card and more.  I watched do them it on a remote access connection.   I have at least 20 hours invested in technical support and at least a full week of lost productivity.  This experience is worse than the upgrade of Microsoft Vista.  I get the error message is "WHEA_Uncorrectable_Error".  I'll be in the workplace (nothing too heavy) and then a blue screen with the error message and the system will restart close all open programs.  Then I connect.  This process happens about every 10 to 20 minutes.  Dell Premium technical support and Microsoft Support seem to know nothing on this unit or the correction.  How Microsoft and Dell could market and sell these machines with known problems that obviously do not work is terrible.

• 8700 XPS-compatible graphics cards?

  Hello

  I recently bought the desktop computer Dell XPS 8700 with the specifications

  -4th gen I5 12 GB of RAM, 1 TB harddrive, graphics AMD 7570.

  I was wondering which graphics cards are compatible with my system, I thought specifically make the Nvidia GT 640.

  If someone can answer who will be greatly appreciated.

  Hi Yan12345,

  Yes, the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 650 Ti AMP! Edition has a configuration of power supply of 450W and based on the specifications, it should work with your system. You can see his review here for detailed information.

  I hope this helps.

• The Studio XPS 435MT graphics card upgrade

  Hi all

  I have a Dell Studio XPS 435mt with these specs:

  Intel Core I7 2.67 ghz

  6 GB of RAM

  ATI Radeon HD 4570 512 MB graphics card (it's the original one)

  I got nothing so far, but now I want to change the graphics card because I want to play games that require higher performance, I play with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080 p).

  So what do you suggest me? What is the best graphics card can I take, compatible with the studio 435mt?

  I don't want to change the other components (and I mean the PSU in particular) I don't want to change the graphics card.

  So what is the graphics card that pushes the limit of this computer?

  I have another question.

  I bought this computer in Italy and it's because I'm Italian xD.

  Now I'm in Boston for the summer holidays and I would buy the card here. There is a compatibility problem between Italian and American computers?

  I mean the GPU are all the same despite the country or there are a few differences to take into account?

  I'm sorry if I am repetitive, but I don't know if my questions are clear and understandable.

  Thanks for your help!

  I have no budget.

  True, but even once, why would you spend $129 when the same one that costs only $89 HERE at Newegg.  Personally, I wouldn't put a high end as the HD 6970 card in your system, but it is up to you.  For me, just is not there, but I know that others have fact.   Cards more recent performance today they run cooler and are smaller than the last generation.  I know there are people who have put in the hot and power hungry GTX 295 in this system.  If you want a high end card without going overboard, take a look at the HD 6850 and HD 6870.  However, if you have money, you can do whatever you want if you use an i7 processor to go with it.  I'm just a little at low cost.

• The Dell Dimension 9200 graphics card upgrade

  I am looking to update my graphics card on a Dell Dimension 9200 and I was wondering if the Nvidia GeForce GT 430 would work with the pc, I have a Nvidia 7900 gt. I am open to both recommendations.

  My current pc features, Windows 8 version Preview (upgrade to windows 8 Pro in a few days), 4 GB of ram, intel dual core 2.13 ghz.

  Hi gaz492,

  The graphics card you have mentioned should work on the Dimension 9200.

  Food that has been delivered with the computer is 375W which is more than the bloc power to the graphics card. Details of the graphics card: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-430/specifications

  In addition, providing the link for the specifications of the computer:

  NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

  Add the link to the manual for Dimension 9200, which is also known as the XPS 410:

  There are a lot of compatible adapters to the computer: here is a list of the latest graphics cards that run on the desktop computer:

  1. nVidia GeForce GT 440.
  2. ATI Radeon HD 6570.
  3. ATI Radeon HD 6670 (requires minimum 400W).
  4. ATI Radeon HD 7750 (requires minimum 400W).

  Usually if the video card is updated on the computer, you must upgrade the power too as the power supply on this computer is 375W.

  Answer please if you have any other questions.

• Satellite X 200 PSPBUA-00N007 graphics card replacement

  Hi guys,.

  I get the BIOS beep codes saying there is a problem with the graphics card (1 long beep, 2 short beeps), but there are two graphics cards in my computer.

  So my question is, is it possible to know that one needs to be replaced?
  I can find two parts online, but obviously I don't want to have to buy both if one is defective.

  I tried to start the computer with the two cards, a card and without graphics card and get the same beep every time code.

  Does anyone know if the computer should start with just a single card?
  Because who was telling me that this is the first map, it is the problem.

  I have search the Forum before posting, but could not find someone asks this question in particular, only people ask questions about the upgrade, which is not what I'm trying to do - I found the correct parts for my computer, but you should know what to buy.

  Thanks in advance

  Ben

  > but there are two graphics cards in my computer.

  I guess you mean the Dual NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT graphics card with SLI in NVIDIA technology.
  I know the laptop was equipped with two nVidia Geforce 8600 M GT graphics chips. This has been possible due to SLI technology.
  The name of the graphic chip code was NB8P-GS (SLi)

  > Does anyone know if the computer should start with just a single card?
  I m not quite sure all this, but I guess that this is NOT possible because of the BIOS.
  The X 200 BIOS has been configured and changed for the GPU and probably another GPU usage is not possible.

  > I found the correct parts for my computer, but you need to know what to buy.
  I guess all the compatible part could be ordered in the Toshiba service in your country, but to be honest, I think that this could be expensive fix and probably a new computer laptop would be a better option.
  But of course this is only my personal opinion.
