• Windows does not start - XPS 8300

  I have a XPS8300 (2010) who does not successfully start windows.  System Restore does not resolve the problem.  Especially when I try to start it, the HARD drive runs very fast, Windows does not start, the screen turns off, but the machine does not stop automatically.  A few times I was able to press F8 and load it to the ' last known good state ", but this does not work normally.  When it works (like now) the function of machine reasonably well and I can access the files.  So I think that the HARD drive may be OK.

  I ran the ePST - he tried repeatedly - and he never performs the test.  No error code.  The screen turns off and then sometimes it just hangs. But earlier it gave me a code of "beep".  It's "1 - 2 - 3.

  Tried to run the Dell diagnostic online, but it's pretty slow, I can't tell if it has "hooked", or if it is still ongoing.

  Would appreciate recommendation on next steps.

  A flaky power supply can cause these problems, and they are quite common.

• XPS 8300 Windows 10 and not Internet

  With 10 Windows on my computer xps 8300 when I connect the Ethernet cable to the computer I have no internet.  Can someone help me?  For some reason I can connect wireless but do receive as 1 MB down and upward so that with a normal cable I receive about 100 down

  Hey Jesse!

  I really appreciate that get back you to me. I tried a version of many drivers updates patches etc... Thanks to these forums and the web Inter.  I discovered that the XPS 8300 model has a problem with the Ethernet jack on the motherboard, it is wrong and the dell offered to replace a large number of them, but with the same boards that had the broken part of Ethernet. Sad is their destiny to break like that.

  Just as the only solution that I found was that I have buy a PCI Express Ethernet card and install it manually

  Activate by phone

  Please note this step #9

  If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Vista. The operator will give you all the numbers to ID of Confirmation if they accept that your copy of Vista is legitimate.
  NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Vista on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)

• Keyboard output incorrect characters after the re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

  Original title: some of the keys on the keyboard messed up after re-installation of Windows Vista on Dell XPS M1530

  Hey guys,.

  I have recently reinstalled windows because last year I picked up a few errors that I couldn't fix it easily and I wanted a clean slate.

  I have install all the drivers etc, but I noticed on my keyboard, if I try and make a "sign it comes up with a sign @ and vice versa." There are also others like that, so I guess that my keyboard readers need to update? Although I have no idea why they would need updating as they were before.

  Anyway, I went here: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&ServiceTag=&SystemID=XPS_M1530&os=WLH&osl=en&catid=&impid= and I tried to find the driver I need, but could not find them.

  So, overall, my question is should I update the drivers? If so, how?

  And if not, how can I fix?

  Thank you. :)

  Hi cripple.

  Thank you for your message.

  Was is happening until you have reinstalled Windows?

  How do you reinstall Vista, what steps did you take?

  What is a wireless keyboard?

  If this is the case, check the batteries and make sure that the keyboard is very close to the receiver (a few inches) to see if the problem resolves.

  I suggest updating your anti-virus definitions and run a fun system scan.

  You can connect another keyboard to your computer to see if it might be the fault of the keyboard?

• 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.

• XPS 8300 & Windows 10 - NIC & Intel RST problems

  A day I watching a notification in the taskbar bar saying my I found was on my way to a free update of Windows 10 in Win 7.  Later, I came to realize that Windows was making changes under the hood.

  Change of .NET Framework has erupted following Microsoft Expression Web and Capture One Pro. After the upgrade they automagically work once again. Stop this process needed to back up the PC and antics with windows update in order to block the update which starts the upgrade to Win10.

  I do not any notice, pushed me into running on this PC, Dell services, but anyway I'm here because I left the proceeding upgrade.

  Uh oh. Problems. Crashing LAN (WAN is fine) and Intel RST service does not, but IAstorDataSvc consumes 15% cpu. I went to Dell and they recommend does not update this machine.

  I tried to roll back the driver for the CARD without success and I ordered a card adapter to fit. I tried to launch the Intel chipset update utility, but he could not find the compatible devices.

  My more immediate concern is this PC is running RAID 0 and Intel RST service does not work properly. My understanding is that there is no cancellation of the RAID 0 unless you are ready to reinstall the operating system.

  What are my options? Can I disable the startup of Intel services associated with this process? Is there another way to update the RST services that work with my XPS8300? Another option, I don't think?

  TIA,

• Evolution of the IDE to AHCI in Studio XPS 1640

  Hello world

  I'm about to clean install Windows 10 on a new SSD.

  How to you switch from IDE to AHCI mode prior to installation on the Studio XPS 1640?

  How to activate the mode of compensation?

  Thank you.

  Hi Stock4j,

  I guess that you have a complete backup of your system drive and files before installing the new drive and the OS.

  To change the mode of the controller SATA, boot in the BIOS (F2). There will be two or three options, ATA, RAID and AHCI. If AHCI is not available, choose the RAID or AHCI.

  You have no need to activate the TRIM. With a clean installation, TRIM should be enabled automatically earn 10.

  Hello - I have a new XPS 8700 i7-4770 (still in the box!) and that you want to perform a clean installation of windows 8.1.  Windows is preinstalled on the machine.  The reason why I want to do is to get rid of bloatware that I'm sure that turns on the machine.  If someone could help me with how to go about it - or point me to the thread - I would really appreciate it.  Thank you very much in advance!

• Installation of Windows 7 Professional on Dimension 8300

  Can someone tell me if I can load a new unused 32 bit OEM Full Version of Windows 7 Professional on a Dell Dimension 8300?  I'm looking at this version because it allows me to save a lot of $$.  I bought all the other updates required for memory, hard drive, sound card and graphics on this computer at Dell.  The operating system would be the only feature that would not be purchased from Dell.  I would also like to know what happens when I change the original hard drive.  I'm losing the info on this old drive when disconnected?  I was wondering if I can put it back in if I have problems with the installation of Windows 7 on the new hard drive.  I did a full backup of the old hard drive.

  Another thing, Dell support didn't warn me hardware virtualization that is not on this computer processor, so I think I have a few problems with the help of some of my old XP software.  Apparently you need virtualization in Windows 7 XP mode.  It's a big problem for me because most of the software I have bought is for XP.  What happened to backward compatible programs that meet the needs of all.  Guess I'll have to take that with Microsoft.

  It's been almost 2 years since this was posted.  For the record: I installed Windows 7 Professional (purchased at Microsoft) and the OS works fine on Dell 8300.  Made all of the changes recommended before installation, the disk (500 GB), sound card, graphics card, etc.  System worked without problem for 2 years and just about everything that I need to work that has been installed with Windows XP works!  Now, I'm trying to figure out if I can install a map update for USB 3.  Hope that this thread will help others who have kept their old system.  I think that the Dimension 8300 has been one of the few product really Dell computers that can be updated.  More big limits can be the IBM processor and motherboard.  By the way Dell initially told me that this computer will not work with Windows 7.

• How can I find a copy of windows 7 for dell Xps 15 (L502X)

  Hello evryone...

  Tanks

  You misunderstood what George wrote.  Dells have a "factory restore Partition" and reinstalling Windows procedure that is described in the manual of your PC.  For example, here is an excerpt from the mine-

  Reference Dell Factory Image Restore [excerpt from manual for Dell Inspiron 1545]
  1. turn on the computer.
  2 when the Dell logo appears, press several times to access the Advanced Boot Options window.
  Note: If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop; then, shut down your computer and try again.
  3. Select repair your computer.  The System Recovery Options window appears.
  4. Select a keyboard layout and click Next.
  5. to access the recovery options, log in as a local user. To access the command prompt, type administrator in the user name field, and then click OK.
  6. click on Dell Factory Image Restore. The Dell Factory Image Restore welcome screen appears.
  Note: Depending on your configuration, you may need to select Dell, then Dell Factory Image Restore factory tools.
  7. click on next. Data delete screen is displayed.
  Note: If you do not wish to continue Factory Image Restore, click Cancel.
  8. check the box to confirm that you want to continue reformatting the hard drive and restoring the system software to the factory condition, then click Next.  The restore process begins and may take five or more minutes. A message appears when the operating system and the applications installed in the factory have been restored to the State of the plant.
  9. click Finish to restart the system.

  You can find this information for your model on the Dell support website [through www.dell.com ] If you have thrown the manual of your PC and don't have any pdf copy of it.

  The manual of your PC will also be instructions for creating a set of "Recovery disc" and do this after the factory restore.

  In addition, the backup utility provided with Dells [mine is DataSafe Local, but that may have changed] has the ability to create a USB bootable from the "factory restore Partition" so that you can deal with a hard disk failure in the future.  So do because it is a valuable tool [an insurance against future problems] - they advised me to use a 16 GB USB key, but the image is only 6.2 GB so I could use a 8 GB USB key instead.

  Palcouk is also correct.  All this which may or may not have been provided with your purchase, Dell will provide a floppy disk to install OEM of Windows 7 on demand - the load is small, I think [I think I saw a post about it being $30].

• Update Intel RST for Windows 10 & Dell XPS 8300?

  Hi people,

  Still trying to work through the upgrade to Win10 with most big obstacle is the Intel RST that consumes cycles 15% CPU and the taskbar notification explains the RST service is not running. My system has been implemented with raid interlaced, but I'm moving to SSD storage. The BIOS SATA controller is always defined in RAID mode and when I turn the PC won't start not (disc system not found) in AHCI mode.

  I'm ready to install Win 10 on bare metal, so the SATA controller can be attributed to the AHCI and realize all the benefits of the SSD.

  Problem is that I would still run on the Intel RST platform. Is there a way to update or I'm earlier go to SATA pcie controller (sitting on a x 1 slot) expansion card? I really want to solve the problem of well integrated controller.

  TIA,

  RandyEN

  Win7 has MSM for older readers.  RST 9.6.X for the advanced format Drives.

  10.1.xxxx is the version of transition for more than 2 TB Volumes.

  First RAID does not more 2 TB volume support.

  Windows 10 I guess only works with the RST on supported chipsets.

  Newer versions of older versions STOP SUPPORTING the chipset drivers.
