Dimension 5000 - DVD

Hello

I'm a learner when it comes to my computer so please 'talk' to me in terms real simple.

I bought my Dell Dimension 5000 in February 2005.  I have been download my digital photos and did some backup with CD RW.  However, there are far too many pictures and that it would take about 40 CDs all of them downloaded then someone suggested that I have burn on a DVD.

When I returned to the United Kingdom (am living in the Dom Rep) I bought a DVD-RW and the guy asked if my system used 'positive' or 'negative' DVD - this flumoxed me!  I guessed "positive", whatever that means.  I tried to burn my pictures on the DVD, but it does not work (I can watch DVDs and can burn CDs without problem).

I bought the wrong DVD, do I need to install something on my computer to burn DVDs? Please help this dimwit... :(

Thank you

  • Add the Second controller IDE for Dell Dimension 5000

    We have a Dell Dimension 5000 that has proved to be a very capable workhorse.

    Since buying it we have replaced the DVD burner with a more quick/tough, added an IDE hard drive and added a second SATA hard drive.

    We would now like to add an another DVD burner or another hard drive IDE - anyway we need more IDE connections.

    Can we just add an another IDE controller in one of the free PCI slots?

    Will any make/model or someone at - it recommendations?


  • Upgrade of dimension 5000 with 1 GB of video

    I have an old Dimension 5000 here which was a Euro version 5100/5150/E510... series date back to the time. It still does a life more decent job running Windows 10 for anything games, so internet, office light etc...

    Here's the question: it was once upgraded with a 512 MB GeForce MSI slot PCI-E x 16 without problem. Trying to run a 1 GB card but turns out to be a problem.  Tested both until this new Geforce GT 710 - a passive MSI and a PNY with cooler fan - would cause the machine to Rev up the fan on the CPU for a few seconds before posting the "alert!" PCI Express card works in X 1 mode"message when starting. After hitting the F1, everything is normal. They are still rising 'usable memory' under Windows/System, which was one of the goals of this upgrade.

    Re-seating cards several times into the slot has not made a difference. The machine has the latest BIOS v07 and has been improved with a peak of 350W/400W PSU.

    The theories here? I do not understand why there is a compatibility issue with the 1 GB cards.  I noticed minor differences in the provisions of the PIN between the 3 cards, but they are all designed for any compatible mobo PCI-E with a x 16 slot.

    TIA

    Several versions XFX have heat sinks that are TOO LONG and TOO FAT to physically enter the case.

    Asus units adapt to all dells except USFF which has no slots.

  • Dell Dimension 5000 replacement PSU

    I have a Dell Dimension 5000 bought in 2005, still under Windows XP.

    After being off for a week, I recently tried it lights up, but got only a flashing orange power button. After reading this thread I tried to jump the power supply to the power connector motherboard from green to black as suggested, and nothing lit. So I guess that the PSU is dead and must be replaced.

    I also read this thread a person with a similar problem.  My power supply model number is L305P-00 and reference number 5032 (CN - 0d 5032-71615-513-06BE), exit 305 w, and it has a connector ATX 24, 2 SATA connectors, etc..

    I'm hoping to replace the PC soon, so don't want to spend too much on the power supply. Corsair were recommended as a good brand, but they are quite expensive, so I was wondering if this PSU Novatech would be suitable? I think they're a renowned brand. They sell as well others and I don't know what the difference between each one, apart from the power and the fact that some are not modular, other semi or fully modular.

    The Novatech £19.99 would be good enough to get my PC up and running again, or that others would recommend?

    Dimension 5000 does not use a power supply owner Dell, most of the blocks of ATX power supply with a 24 pins, power connector 4-pin main card mother 20 + or with, or can be used without the power switch, a power supply with two SATA and molex power two connectors 4 pin is necessary.

    You should be able to buy a replacement power in a store of the local computer or online.

    The Novatech 500W ATX Power Supply, as shown in your link should work...

  • Replacement of power SUPPLY Dell Dimension 5000 block

    Hi - I have a Dell Dimension 5000 (around 2005) with a duff ATX PSU.

    Dell p/n is CN-OC5201-17972-51R-1CNV and the model # is N305P-00

    I looked on this forum and the recommended not only equivalent Dell PSU (Antec TRUEPOWERII IPTI-430 430W ATX12V 2.01 Power Supply) does not seem to be available (UK).

    Does anyone know of a compatible brand/model power supply that I can replace my diet duff with or where I can get a direct replacement from DELL for a reasonable price?

    I think my power supply DELL has these connectors:

    P1 - power of card mother ATX 24-pin
    P2 - 4 motherboard power PIN
    P3 - 4 SATA connector
    P5 - Ditto
    P7 - connector floppy 4pin
    P8 - 4 Molex power connector pin
    P9 - Ditto

    Any help would be appreciated...

    Thank you

    Corsair is an excellent brand of food, with a good warranty

    The Corsair CX 400W ATX2.2 Power Supply, would be compatible with the Dimension 5000.

  • Power button blinks orange Dimension 5000

    I was using my Dimension 5000 when it stopped unexpectedly. The power button is now flashing orange unless I have press and hold when it does not. By pressing once again does not produce light flashes. I have an important work on what I need to transfer to my laptop so if anyone can help me, I would be very grateful.

  • Dimension 5000 graphics card update.

    Hi, thanks for reading.

    I have the map of X300SE graphics by default for the Dell Dimension 5000 but want to update the map.
    As you may know, the PSU has 305 w and isn't a thing of connector 6 pin.

    I am currently interested in the Sapphire HD 4670 Ultimate Edition but I was wondering if it is compatible.

    Thank you very much.

    Nodame.

    PS - I understand that this is not the right place to post, but I have one last question on the installation of a second hard drive.
    I wonder if the Dimension 5000 is compatible with SATA-II hard drives? It requires no jumpers or is it just plug/install and format and go?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Nodame. Your manual is HERE. Cards that would take yoiur system are the 9500GT, 9600GT and the map of your after, the ATI 4670. Manufactors overstate the power for their cards a dell underestimate the power in their PSU. With respect to the hard disk, yes a SATA - he's will work in this system, everything that you have to buy is the SATA data cable. An additional power connector should already be in your system. Here is a link to the 4600 series ati.

    I'm not either of my dvd to work on my dimension 4700 players.  When I look in Device Manager, there a yellow circle with a black exclamation point next to each of the disks.  The first is HL-DT-ST DVD - ROM GDR8163B and the second is PHILIPS DVD +-RW DVD8631.  When I click on them they both say "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device.  The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) ».  The use of the device is turned on.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall but still the same thing.  I tried to uninstall and reboot my pc, but when I go back into Device Manager, they are both with the same error code and the sign again.  I tried to download the driver from dell, but it tells me that it cannot find the device.  Help!  I need my readers!  Thank you!


  • Being not recognized in dimension 8400 DVD drive

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my DVD drive in my dimension 8400 (about 3 years)

    I can open the DVD player and insert DVD/CD but they are not recognized,

    My computer is not present DVD player, there is no CD/DVD players present also in the management of devices.

    I think the DVD player I have is the Philips DVD 8601 HH 16 x DVD + RW,

    I had a similar problem about 1 year ago, but that has been fixed by updating the firmware/drivers. (although the DVD player doesn't "disappear" from my computer, it comes to refuse to play the disc at the time)

    Im not a computer newbie, so I tried several things to try to make it work:

    http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.ID=dim_cdrom&message.ID=138730&query.ID=270189#M138730 I did steps 1-3 and 5, and nothing has worked.

    Someone at - recommended step 4 too? Question about step 4: you have to clear the CMOS chip memory AND reset the default settings of the BIOS Setup? It was not clear from the guide on this forum.

    I tried to download the updates of the Firmware, but when I tried to update it says "Device not found", logic, because the device is not - where on my computer.

    That's my problem.

    Thank you very much if anyone can help me

    Perhaps the DVD player is just broken and I need to get a new one, but the fact that I can open and close the lid and the light Burns gives me hope that its stil alive: P

  • Dimension 4550 DVD-ROM and DVD-RAM will not read disks

    My daughter has a Dimension 4550. The engraver has recently left working, so we replaced it with a Lite-On DH-20A4P-08 DVD - RAM drive. We played a couple of moview and a CD on the new drive. Today the old DVD-ROM new DVD-RAM both refuse to recognize that a disc is in the disc (DVD or CD); He says: no disc in the drive. We have checked the cable connections and updated the driver for the new drive with no luck. We also tried the Dell store without success.

    Any other ideas?

    How to run diagnostics on these discs?

  • Master IDE HDD to slave in Dimension 5100 DVD burner

    Hello

    I just added a disk IDE (PATA) (jumper to master) to the same controller that my existing DVD burner, now set as slave. the two IDE channels is enabled in the BIOS and the hard drive passed Diagnostics.  But the new IDE HDD is not recognized by Windows, although it appears like a hard drive under Device Manager.

    The recommendation of the forum seems to favor using an external HARD drive enclosure, but I'm not willing to do unless it's the only way to make it work.

    What else is required to complete the configuration?  I am running XP Professional.

  • Compaq Presario C700: Compaq Presario C700 maximum upgrades. CPU/SODIMM

    Hello

    Please answer suite

    1. how to get the maximum for components upgrades

    CPU / SODIMM given the configuration of the model Compaq Presario C797EE mentioned at the end.

    2. Why is there BIOS ver F.35 for Presario C700 when later offered is the worm F.34 bios on HP web. What is the difference. Where can I find both to be uploaded with the release notes. New BIOS on model C797EE allows processors support Intel Core 2 Duo X 9000 and PC6400 SODIMM for 8 GB?

    3. There is evidence of success update here. Only difference is its Compaq Presario C797EE but C771US not and was able to upgrade CPU Core 2 Duo T9300. Is it possible to upgrade series C700 (C797EE) to Intel C2d Extreme X 9000 processor. If this is not the case, what is the max for the chip set used in C797EE.

    4 NT are different for Intel T9300 and others by 35W 44W or any other factor, will they perform the upgrade, if yes then please provide last possible list compatible CPU my current chip-set

    Comparative analysis of the applications here are showing different results. Please see Sandra chipset readings compare to the results of CPU - Z.

    I will be grateful

    Thank you.

    Hello, just let everyone know that my upgrade worked.

    -Processor

    Updated for intel T9300 as reference. probably could support the x 9000, but it was much more expensive is not a value

    -Memory:

    I was skeptical with past more than 4 GB, however, currently functioning 6 GB (2 X 4). foung are not accidents of errors due to modules. Works perfectly.

    . After these updates, I installed small SSD, which added to the startup that gave more boost to the system.

    . Replaced the DVD with Caddy drive through visruth, installed with 1 TB

    . Replaced with 12 cells battery

    Conclusion:

    This unit of 8 years demonstrated startup, transformation and loading speeds that could be compared to couple of old machines, 6 GB working memory space that can accommodate witout heavy programs using the file (actually disabled) Exchange and on the storage of Tera bytes to store every necessary thing making the year becomes mordern General phone use. Only thing that is not dealing with it is the graphics card. Besides that all is well, infact it runs more more fees than before.
