Dimension 2400 - two upgrades and two questions/problems

So finally had time to update this old thing.  Did some research and found what was compatible. Bought a ram and a video card. Now since their installation for the most part unsuccessful I have questions:

RAM

I bought a 2x1GB corsair because I read that 2 GB is the maximum computers. When I install both the computer refuses to start, but with one of the privateers and the original dell computer piece works very well (and much improved, I might add). Every they say 1024Mo, if that helps. also do I need to update the BIOS? After the installation, read this should perhaps have been made beforehand.

VIDEO CARD

I also bought the nvidea gforce 5500. I followed the instructions to a T with respect to disabling the dell one printer and changed the setting to the start screen.  Then after installing the card and rebooting the machine, I get nothing on the screen.  I read somewhere that this could be a prob of resources? not sure why tho since this thing is also supposed to be compatible.

OK thnx in advance everyone, sry if they were invited to a million times, but I don't see all the answers that helped me understand how to go about fixing these issues.

  • WinXPsysytem: The upgrade and have questions

    Have a dell e521 that I train and some questions.  Have already updated to 3 GB of memory on x 86 operating system.  Bios version active what 1.1.6 4/7/2007.  Have checked Dells site and they offer a version of bios 1.1.11 released on 04/09/2007.  Having checked their previous versions and mine is not yet in there.  Don't know if I should go with the 1.1.11 version or stick with what is on mine, any suggestions?  Also, I put in a 500 GB seagate HDD.  Have a 80 GB drive there now which is pretty maxed out.  Playing with the idea to put xp pro on the 80 GB and using the programs and storage 500 GB.  I would like to know if it's a good idea or not!  Could use pointers and how much others who have more experience I have of course on my best options for installation.  for performance and features.  Thank you in advance, Ron.

    It's sad to say, you should probably have spent your money on a new computer rather than on the RAM and a new hard drive.  Windows XP (you posted in a forum of Windows XP, that's what I assume you have) will be supported is no longer starting in April 2014. This means no more security updates and therefore increases the vulnerability to malware.

    That said, your system now-updated can probably support Windows 7. You must run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to check the remaining material.

    As you say, Dell does not list the intervening versions of BIOS with 1.1.4, 1.1.10, so unless someone at Dell or in the Dell forums can tell you what "improvements" in your version or with your version 1.1.10, you have no way of determining that. Based on omissions, I think there were only minor changes in these versions.

    Normally, I would leave the BIOS alone.  Note, however, that Dell "recommends" 1.1.10 be installed because
    The update contains improvements or changes that will keep your system current and compatible with other system modules (firmware, BIOS, drivers and software) software.
    If you want to stick with XP, I would leave the BIOS alone. If you want to install Windows 7 (assuming that there are Windows 7 drivers for all your hardware), I would Setup 1.1.11.  Be sure to read and follow instructions carefully.

    BTW, it's a little surprising that you only have a 80 GB drive.  CNET review of the Dimension E521 said he came with a 320 GB drive.

    I've recently updated my memory on my Dell Dimension 2400 512 MB to 2 GB (entirely new memory sticks) and when I try to start my computer I get a series of loud beeps and no video input. I tried the stick at a time and I re installed to ensure that them have been installed correctly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • For Dimension 2400 RAM upgrade

    I have a Dimension 2400, P4 2.8 ghz with 256 MB of RAM that appears on the card 256 MB 333 MHZ DDR MEMORY (1 X 256) NONECC technical, it is not enough, so I plan on getting 2 x 512. I checked with critical and they are listing 2 different types of 512 RAM - 333 mhz (PC2700) and 400 mhz (PC3200). I was wondering if buying 400 mhz RAM would make a difference in performance or if 400 mhz is even compatible?

  • Dimension 2400 memory upgrade now, I have no monitor?

    Hello everyone and thank you for being here to help. My son has a Dimension 2400 w / 34GB of hard disk, which is currently at the maximum. It has 384 MB of RAM. 128 in DIMM1 and DIMM2 in 256. I went to BB today and bought a new stick of 512 MB PNY that I swapped the 128 for. Everything seemed to go well. A few hours later when my son went to use the PC the monitors stand by orange light was on and no picture. The first press there is no answer. A second try the monitor off, when I turned it back on it went green for a moment and then clicked on return to orange, still no picture.

    I double checked all the connections and everything seems to be okay. When I removed the cable from the monitor, I heard some no clicks from the monitor, always good, no picture. I turned off the pc and reboot, still nothing. However the pc would not then shut down. I then turned off through the throttle, but when I repowered it, the pc came back. Still could not turn off so I unplugged it for now. Any thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Thank you!


  • Satellite L755: Win 10 upgrade and good question

    Hello

    I have two problems with my computer laptop is satellite L755-M1KQ,.

    My first question is, can I download windows 10 on that?

    my number is PSK2YE-0KQ02UAR

    My second problem is the noise in my laptop is not working, not always just some time, please help me.

    Of course you could improve the system of Windows 10.

    The material is strong enough to manage 10 Windows.
    But Toshiba does not provide drivers Windows 10 for this series... so it might be possible that some features of the laptop (keys FN, etc.) would not work properly...

    With regard to the sound:
    You did not provide many details and if the issue cannot be reproduced, then it will be very difficult to find a solution...
    I think you should check if the sound issue is displayed using the headphones or speakers only... also check if you can update the audio driver...

    I am owner of a thinkpad A31p, bought a few years ago, and now I decided to upgrade the bios and the controller. so far, no big deal.

    The problem is with the battery pack. He died, or the charger does not work.

    The instructions for the updates remind you should have a fully charged battery. As I do not have a good working battery condition I'm afraid to do the upgrade I don't know what can happen.

    Is there a problem if I do upgrades without battery or with a dead battery? Will it work?

  • Upgrade and increased use of fashion related to two embedded vCenter 5 installs

    Hi all

    I have a question. I would like to upgrade our vCenter 5.5 to 6.0 update1 and at the same time instances to begin to use related methods improved.

    Currently, we only use modes related to 5.5, but we would like to use in the 6.0.

    The two vCenter running 5.5 are shipped installed (vCenter + SSO in the same VM).

    VMware vCenter Server 6.0 Deployment Guide, I read and I find anywhere a upgrade path for our scenario.

    In my lab at home, I managed to install 2 CSP between a CITRIX Netscaler and 2 vCenters connected to loadballancer and use improved methods related to vCenters but these where initial installs so no upgrade.

    Anyone has an idea about this scenario upgrade?

    Thank you

    Mircea

    I had a similar situation, and while I found a few ways to use enhanced bound mode with incorporated the PSC, it is not technically supported by VMware.

    However, I have deployed two new external to the PSC (two sites) and two VCSA w/o the embedded PSC.  I joined all in the same domain.

    Once it was in place, I improved my previous VCSA, who had the PSC on-board, to 6.0 U1 and used the new option repoint via CMSSO-UTIL to point of the VCSA existing on the same domain than the one I just created with two new external to the PSC.  I was then able to migrate everything to the two new vCenters.

    http://emadyounis.com/vCenter/vCenter-server-appliance-VCSA-6-0-Update-1-rundown/  (Info on the format of the command CMSSO-UTIL near the bottom of the page).

    Looks like more work that it is, and the result is a nice clean environment, no down time to VM and two external to the PSC which reproduce and two VCSA who linked enhnaced active mode.

    If you go down this road and you have problems, let me know, I can try to help.

  • Two questions about SP1 and Vista startup

    Hi all
    two questions:

    (1) I understand that if I want SP1 on my machine, I have to install manually, because it is not included in the automatic update routines?

    (2) my machine failed yesterday, I received a message "unable to start Windows. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. "The only thing I can think is that before turning off the previous time, I inserted a USB hard drive to copy the files on it. But I continued to work normally on the machine. Another unusual event, it is the day before, it was very slow to start, so afer it finished start, I restarted.

    When the system could not start, I tried several times, automatic procedures that always ended with "windows cannot resolve the issue automatically,
    Contact your service provider. In the last attack, I also clicked on a 'Advanced tab' and restored the system, but it does not solve the problem. Then, this morning I turned on the machine again to write the exact error I have, and message instead, unexpectedly (and rather willingly), the machine starts normally. So, what could happen? Should I get my machine (which is less than one month) verified?
    Thank you!

    Hi polla.

    (1) Yes, Yes. You must download and install SP1 manually.

    (2) No, I'm Don t think that you should check. I would say: work with it and if the error appears, back up all your data and restore complete your system, so you can exclude any type of software problem...

    Hello, I would like to take advantage of the promotions on Adobe Photoshop for a single user (valid until tomorrow), but I have two questions.  First of all, I intend to buy a new computer for a month and for the moment, I don't know if it will be a pc or a mac. Do I have to decide at the time of the purchase, what system I'll use?  Secondly, I also have a plan for about a month to open an individual company. If I buy the program as a person, could I then use it as a business?

    Creative cloud is cross-platform. Licensing is not serious. By definition, an "enterprise" might as well be a single person. It is totally irrelevant, as long as you purchase a full license appropriate regardless of any promotion.
