Dell XPS One 2710 does not start - should I all reasonable options?

• Windows 7 x 64 installation DVD does not start on a Dell XPS One 2710

  I apologize in advance for the long post...

  Just got a Dell XPS One 2710.  Lot has happened, but let me clarify the current number as briefly as possible: the machine does not start from the HARD internal disk or the Windows 7 Installer x 64 DVD.  He gets through loading files and then gray progress bar when its colorful animation it blue screens with error CACHE_MANAGER.

  I ran the diagnostic, including tests extended memory tests, and they have not found any error in what either.

  When I was troubleshooting this problem previously, in some sort the motherboard got bricks (I don't know what exactly I did to cause that), but Dell has since replaced.  The first motherboard had BIOS version A09.  It has installed A11.

  I can't find any BIOS settings combination that will allow even the Installer Windows DVD to start with the Blue error screen CACHE_MANAGER.  I tried the UEFI boot modes and legacy, I tried RAID and AHCI.  I tried with and without loading legacy OPROMs.

  What I ultimately do is set the start mode of RAID so that I can use the SSD mSATA as a cache ("Accelerate" in the Intel RST Panel).  But I can not even the installer to start on where I can load drivers RST (assuming it's even necessary).

  Other posts have suggested problems with memory, but I took each of the two DIMMS one at a time and I always had the same problem.

  Should I suspect the hard drive?  When we arrived at the machine, he seemed to be running Windows 8 very well - until we went on the way to the side dark and downgraded to Windows 7.  Then once we started to have errors on updates, things has quickly degenerated from there.  In addition, again, diagnoses don't find any problems.

  Any suggestions on how to get at least this puppy to start?   .. .or what have we done wrong?

  Thanks EJN.  It turns out that there is certainly a hardware problem on this machine.  It was a refurbished Dell making machine and apparently when they renovated the it, they missed the real problem.

  The way I know that it is material, it's that we bought actually 2 of them at the same time.  When I started to suspect the material, I decided to try this process on the other.  He worked like a knife through hot butter.  But I will say that the combination of the BIOS set to boot legacy mode and still start the installation with the option to UEFI DVD in the start menu was not easy to understand at first.  But when I followed the correct steps, everything worked very well.

  For those of you who might try this, here are a few things I learned along the way:

  1. According to EJN, take the time to get/burn a CD to install Windows 7 x 64 that already has SP1 on it.  If you go to preserve the UEFI partitions and the boot hard disk, you must have x 64.  x 86 (32-bit) does not support UEFI.

  2 unzip the RAID drivers to the * root * your USB flash or floppy drive and have it in the machine when you start the installation DVD.  I could be wrong, but it seemed to me that the installer looked for them without having to explicitly say it loads the me.

  3. as said EJN, set your BIOS boot legacy mode but use F12 at startup to bring up the Windows Boot Manager and start the installation in UEFI boot mode DVD.  If you want to implement an SSD as cache for your hard disk, you will need to set the SATA controller in RAID mode.

  4. I had partitions UEFI and was able to leave them intact.  Here's a very brief explanation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301%28v=ws.10%29.aspx your results may vary.

  5 take this one as a possible suggestion that is worth what you pay for it: when I got the USB with RAID drivers at the root before starting the installation DVD, I didn't need to load the drivers explicitly.  As I said, it seems that the installation program has been smart enough to find and load what it takes, but honestly, I don't know.  When I load them explicitly, I got errors saying that the installer could not install on the partition, I had chosen.  Makes me think that I could have loaded both times.  What worked for me was NOT explicitly their cargo.

  6. you MUST be at your PC when Setup has completed copy and unpack the installation files.  Don't forget that you have your BIOS set to start legacy mode.  So when he tries to restart to complete the installation, it will try to start using the table inherited from on your hard disk - who is not here because you did a UEFI installation with partitions for UEFI.  So when Setup restarts the first time, you might as well get into the BIOS here and choose the UEFI boot mode.  If you do not, you will need to grab it whenever it restarts using F12 and manually tell it to boot from your hard drive using the UEFI.

  These steps, you should get installed and running.  But another thing I had to understand that when first, I installed and executed the dashboad Intel RST, there is no acceleration option even if my mSATA SSD was found healthy.  I found that if it is formatted and partitioned, you actually go into Disk Manager and delete the partition before the RST dashboard he sees as available for use as a cache.

  I hope this helps others out of me.  It's a heck of a lot easier when the hardware is not bad!

• Dell XPS One 2710 Fresh install

  I want to do a new install of the operating system with a new SSD, I intend to buy my 3 years old Dell XPS One 2710. It is my understanding that the Windows operating system authorization key is integrated into the motherboard. I think it is in the BIOS from what I've read.

  My question is if I install a new hard drive and do a clean from scratch the Windows OS authorization key install will still be valid and knit?  Moreover, would this work if I tried to do a clean install of Windows 10? Thank you!

  Throw the DVD in the trash if its for Windows 8.0 which is end of life. A DVD can be refused by SecureBoot. Also the Windows 8.0 installation and then allowing Windows Update for Windows 8.1 will lead to catastrophic performance.

  Its really simple to do theres just a bunch of information about the editions at the beginning... which often get confused. It seems that you are sure that your edition 8.1 Windows (Home) is however. Take a look at the associated tutorial video too:

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Is6I9B9kjFM&list=PL1RkaknDn7v9wEeh0YXFqOFsrmws-9fYn&index=1

  This video tutorial is more direct because it focused only on Windows 8.x OEM with a UEFI BIOS licenses that apply to your system. It omits all details on retail licenses and hardware legacy. Note the .isos used in the tutorial video are Windows 8.1 with Update 2 and not Windows 8.1 with update 1 as shown.

• Dell XPS One 2710 - SSD drive?

  Hello.

  I look forward to the new 27 '' AIO Dell XPS One 2710 with the 3rd Gen i7.  However, I note that there doesn't seem to be an SSD option in the settings.  Is it possible to have one included in the machine for OS and apps, etc.?

  See you soon.

  Do not order it on the site. I suggest that you build it the way you want, save to cart and print.

  Call the Dell sales department or use the Dell sales chat and ask if it is possible. In some of my orders that I couldn't include additional is by phone or chat.

• Tablet Dell coming 8 Pro does not start

  Hello

  The Tablet is only about a year. And I've kept it's safe and sound, no damages or drops. Nothing.

  But yesterday morning when I got it, he went to sea and no matter what I do, it does not start!

  I press and hold the start buttong. Nada. I even press the windows key or was desperate enough to press the volume even toggles!

  I thought that maybe the load isn't enough. So I let it charge overnight. Still nothing.

  He used to have a small problem before that sometimes he used to take a few minutes to actually boot (startup). But it's random and many times, it was when an update has been installed. But not always.

  But this time, he stayed off the coast and after more than 24 hours, does not illuminate!

  What should I do?

  Thank you

  I think just, I solved this problem. Make absolutely certain that you are using the supplied with your coming Pro USB wall wart, similar and ordinary phone chargers don't work reliably and sometimes not at all! There will be a sticker on the side of her windows. The Pro should need more energy than what is normally fed by normal phone chargers. I hope this helps!

  Also, I think that light orange/red momentary while that push the power button is actually an indicator of battery flat (as crazy as it sounds). These types of batteries are supposed to be completely empty as it will ruin their fast enough, so they are designed to power off with a few charges left to protect themselves to be completely discharged.

• RAM Dell XPS one 2710 question does not start with more than 2GB of ram

  Hi, I recently updated to Win10 I've taught it will be easier way for installation after upgrade fees, but the reset button does not work so I decided to return to 8.1. I copied version UEFI victory to USB and restarted the victory while pressing F2, but the computer does not restart "just black screen even no Dell logo" so I turned it off, back on and same story. Then I disassembled the pc and know that no matter what combination I do the computer not start until there are just 2 GB or less ram in slot I have 1 x 4 GB 3x2GB and 2x1GB any variation as possible, you can imagine I tried close up with the same result. If there is more than 2 GB of system ram won't start. No idea where is the problem? for 2 years this computer worked perfectly.

  PS: Does anyone know how to reflash the BIOS I have spin A12 which is the most recent, but I want to just make sure that the BIOS is not messed up. DELL utility allows not only update reflash. Does anyone know how to force the upgrade of BIOS?

  So I found the problem, it's a BIOS. I tried to reset it in PIN on MB and it did not help removed battery no change I found that the BIOS utility can be forced thru cmd. So I did and the finishing of the bios update successful she even seems scary cos for any computer freezes. but that came on and after several early I can again use all the RAM slot with what ram size I want.

  How to force the update of the BIOS...
  Open cmd as administrator
  and run the exe with command extra /forceit in my case "A12.exe /forceit".
  Voila BIOSupdate is running

  Simple but time fly. hope it helps someone too.

• Dell XPS One 2710, dead

  Hello

  My new computer worked fine last night and this morning would not start.  Technical support sends a flashdrive to re - install the operating system that will wipe the data.  In theory I'm fully backed up with a service online, but in practice, restore the files to a backup computer turns out to be difficult.

  (1) it would not be possible for me to remove the dead XPS hard drive, put it in a box external (I have a practice) and then access my backup computer files?  That would make me return in the faster action.

  (2) just in case where someone can help with the XPS error, the symptoms are the following: when I start it, I get a message 'auto repair preparation', and then later a blue screen saying "your PC came across a problem and must restart...". ». Exactly what is on this screen is a little hard to say because it is only visible for half a second or more, but I'm sure I've seen a reference to SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION any.  In any case, blue screen, it goes back to "Automatic repair of preparation" and then repeats.  I have a restoration/rescue USB drive that I made when I got the PC.  When I boot on the USB, it seems good to begin with (message "Loading" files..) but then I get the same error as message when booting from the hard drive.   The diagnostics run without error.

  Help?

  Thank you

  Richard U.

  Hello

  So last night I tried to re - install the USB DELL prepared key and it did not work.  I called technical support, but this time the person didn't know what was wrong, or at least what measures were needed to fix it.

  The solution was to fiddle around with the BIOS settings to an option press Ctl - I introduced early start to display the configuration of the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology. From there, turn off the power for help using the SSD as a cache device; then reboot (this worked, but soon); Then go to the Control Panel, the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology; clear the contents of the SSD; reactivate the acceleration; reset; Update video drivers; reset; system fixed.   I just watched as the technician of most of the steps after starting using the remote control of the computer, so may have left the steps.

  He said the following, even if I assume that these are intuitions rather than certainty:

  (1) the problem was triggered by installing a Windows Update (maybe even just an update Windows Defender) and continue working without having to restart.   Of course, this may leave the seriously damaged SSD cache.  To avoid this problem, restart after each update even if the Windows Update system does not insist on it.

  (2) the fix described above is likely to result in the loss of all data on the disk.  By thus to the stadium where he works but slow (if it gets that far), all important data should be saved.  In my case, nothing has been lost, with the exception of a week's time.

  I would like that this has been fixed on the first call of support it would have saved me a lot of grief.  However, it may be that Dell only very recently found what was going on.

  Kind regards

  Richard

• Inspiron one 2020 does not start

  I have a 3 yr old Inspiron a 2020 that I left last night and when I woke up, it would not start. I press the power button. It flashes yellow then white. The light on the power supply cable (blue) flashes twice and I can hear a pair of soft clicks from inside the machine, then nothing.

  I have unplugged and held the power button for 10 seconds then tried to start it. Same result.

  I did a reset CMOS, as described in another post, but does not work.

  Hi Bigduke06

  Please write to us.

  A yellow/orange flashing indicate the system cannot start initialization or is in mode 'sleep'. One or more components may be faulty.

  The blue adapter power light should remain solid blue, blinking twice is not really indicate anything.

  Wondered, if possible, try another charger, try to reposition the memories.

  Using a wireless keyboard/mouse? If so, then make arrangements for a USB keyboard and try to wake the computer by pressing on enter.

  Not the machine charges if tried f2 or f12 menu?

  If the f12 menu load please run the diagnostics.

  If none of the above steps work, I fear that there is a motherboard failure.

  It seems that the problem is with your "mini dp - DVI adapter + dvi cable. Try a direct connection, without maps, and you should be all set.

• Acer Aspire One 522 does not start

  I replaced the RAM of 1 GB in my 522 an Aspire. After that the netbook starts not more. Only the blue power led flashing and I hear the fan. I can only turn off by pressing the button for 5 seconds. The screen is black and I can't access the bios. Now the laptop no longer starts with the original module either. I'm looking for a way access the bios, but I found nothing for this model on the internet. Hope someone can help me. Thank you

  Finally, I took a better look at the RAM module and the slot. Although I replaced the modules many times it seems that they were not properly placed in the slot. In any case, it works with my new 2 GB module.

• L7780 all-in-one printer does not start make

  The printer is stuck in an infinite loop of starting with the control panel not showing that the HP screen with the rolling radius, the power button light flashing and a paper feeding mechanism works and sometimes fax will beep every 30 seconds. The printer then repeates the sequence.

  I tried to reset the options # + 3, # 6, # + 9 but the best response is the screen display language in the background selection masked by the message "power off, and then click" Control Panel.  Accepts power takes and the boot in the infinite loop sequence.

  Connection to the laptop to try to diagnose or install a new firmware is failed course because the printer performs the computer starts arguing with her.

  Have another short of options that may disconnect the on-board battery to clear no matter what memopr, however I do not see the battery.

  Problem solved by removing the printer part to extract the circuit board and remove the battery for a few minutes.  Reinstall the battery and the circuit printed then restarted with # option + 6.  Control found on the printer.

• Dell PowerEdge 2850 does not start on a CD of ESXi 3.5

  Hello...

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2850, who does not start on a CD of VMware ESXi 3.5.  The server works very well with Windows 2000 server.  My first thought to solve this problem was the BIOS.  This is all what I've updated in what concerns the firmware on the box today.

  BIOS - A07

  Perc4e/Di - 5B2D, A19

  BMC Firmware - 1.83, A10

  Here are the latest versions of firmware available from Dell on this box.  The machine starts to start the machine.  But all I see is the first line of text of the CD which is the following:

  ISOLinux 3.63 2008-04-10 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 h. Peter Anvin

  My next thought was that there was something wrong with the ISO image that I downloaded.  I tested it on another machine; has worked like a champ.  Now, I read on a few different posts within the VMware communities that some people have had luck with this question and others did not.

  The inventory number of Dell on the machine is 6HDGS81

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Some of the Dell CD-ROM may be little flighty. I had hard time to install a CD earlier which worked perfectly well on another machine. I made another copy of the disc, this time burning the CD at a 4 x speed. The installation went perfectly fine afterwards.
