• Upgrading RAM Dell Dimension 4700

  Hi all

  OK I will try once again to this type. The first time I tried to type this my Surface frozen without reason and had to be properly closed. OK, I'll update the RAM on my Dell Dimension 4700 and I need help and advice before I do. My Dell says it has 0.99 GB of RAM installed. I looked inside and found that there are two sticks of 512 MB of RAM. I found (2 sticks of 1 GB) 2GB of RAM for Dell Dimension 4700 at amazon.com and intend to purchase that. So when I update the RAM I get two sticks of 512 MB and replaced with new 2 sticks of 1 GB from amazon? Are there precautions should I take? (In addition to wear an anti-static wristband) Thank you.

  Before you buy, go to http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner

  Download and run the Crucial scanner.  This will tell you:

  • supports memory of how many are in your computer
  • How much memory is in each
  • the maximum memory that can be installed on your computer and how
  • the right kind of RAM in your computer

  Do not buy crucial, but pay attention to what the scanner says that you need.

  In short, if you have only two supports from memory, then Yes, you need to remove the memory that is in them to put in new RAM.  However, just because you can buy two memory modules of 1 GB does not necessarily that your motherboard will accept them.

  When replacing memory.

  See http://www.crucial.com/wcsstore/CrucialSAS/pdf/install-guides/ram/crucial-dram-install-guide-en.pdf

  • take precautions against static - touch the chassis first; do not touch the contacts of the RAM modules
  • Unlock the pliers and pull it up
  • Orient the new module properly - there is usually only one way correct to put in - and push straight down firmly, but without wavering until closing locks.

• Dell Dimension 4700 upgrade tips Help!

  Hello Dell Community, I currently have a Dell Dimension 4700 and hoped to upgrade my computer to a computer game, with a budget of around $100-200.

  I wonder as to the game going, that upgrades would produce the biggest change and progress in the game? I'm hoping to improve up to 2 GB of Ram and add a video card, but don't know if it is the best choice to go.

  I have studied this subject and found several posts in the forums, but they were all overwhelmed and I hope to get some knowledge as well as recent graphics cards or Ram that can improve my FPS in game and all around my budget. Thank you.

  Sorry, but there are very few, you can upgrade on a child of seven years 'obsolete' 4700, to make a system of 'game '.

  Better to put the money upgrade, to buying new desktop PC.

• Dell Dimension 4700 solid Amber Light but now nothing

  A few months ago my Dell Dimension 4700 does not, he just had a solid clear amber.  So I read on the forum and I replaced the memory and the computer booted.  It lasted for about 6 weeks, and then I got the amber light again.  So I moved the memory and used an eraser to remove static.  Still had a yellow light.  Then a few days ago I had no amber lights - nothing.  So I bought a pwer supply and installed today and it still does not work!  Any suggestions?

  Thanks a lot for your helo!  I bought a power supply, but was still the question, so I bought a motherboard and my computer is a race!   Thanks again!

  When I start my computer, it turns and stops when the Dell logo appears whit the bios version and then the disk hard led by turns off and the power led the rest fan.  without starting windows, I removed the batery and the power for 24 hours. And still does not start what I can do.

  PD: Bios indicator stops at 10% the HHD turns off

  RAM and hard drive or is bad.

  Get out all the ram and put 1 piece at a time and or disconnect power to the hard drive and turn on.

  Post it with hard drive error or did not post it at all.

  The age of the system means that the drive is probably dead.

  There is no sweet miracle for physical hardware failure.

• updated reference dell dimension and have no sound what to do to restore the sound?

  I have no noise ran restore disc have everything clean and now I have no audio / suggestions?
  It is a dell dimension 4700 with windows xp home edition installed.

  Bill Smithers is OK... but my experience has been that the list of drivers on the Dell site for sound is confusing because they often have more than one driver.   Download you the driver from Dell and it does not work, and they have another one, try the other.

• Help! My Dimension 4700 trying to kill me!

  Hello. Almost all of the electronics in this House are messed up!  I've not turned my Medtronic implant, but I hope it's ok! HA.  I have a computer Dell Dimension 4700 older with a NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS (installed a few years ago). I have been using the computer, perhaps I should say "trying to use" the computer when all of a sudden the standby screen popped up, then the screen became black. With the exception of the arrow of the mouse on the scree, I can't have anything else. I tried to restart. Also, I unplugged the comp. which was held in the power button. Has control, alt, deleted. You press F1, F2, F11...! And nothing. I found this forum by doing a search on google. Ive been reading forum "Office Dimension 4700 primer not" and to be honest, I don't understand most of it! If the "battery" is bad, where is he? How do I replace it? I didn't know that there was a battery dang! Use now, my phone which is slow, so will check for any response. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

• Dell Dimension 2400 HD failure. installing new HD

  I have a Dell Dimension 2400. The computer crashed and the computer shows now no hard drive installed. I removed the hard drive and put it in one of my other computers, and my computer does not recognize the drive as a hard disk.

  I put another hard drive in my Dell, (same 40 MB; but different mfg) and the new hard drive is not recognized as a hard drive. I go into the configuration and it shows the diskette and cd installed, but not installed hard drive. Looking at the motherboard, is there that one connection for HDD in these models, so cannot plug into any other manor. Put the jumper to master on and cable that SELECT on but again Dell shows no HDD installed.

  The orig Dell hard drive, does not present as a drive in my work computer, but I'm trying to replace it with that.

  When I insert the OS disc that came with the system, it starts repairing and loads the files, but cannot format the hard drive and doesn't declare any installed hard drive.

  Assuming that the drive hard orig failed, and the new hard drive is a drive to work, are there specifics on something special that needs to be done when you install a new hard drive in a Dell Dimension 2400? I am unable to find all the technical manuals on how to install a new hard drive in my Dell, even though I have all of the orig CD that came from Dell.

  Any help/thoughts would be appreciated.

  Thank you...
