• 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.

• 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.

• Failures of Dell Dimension 4700

  Hello! This is my first post. I came here for support on one of my older Dell systems today, my only first. (I did recently acquired another). It was my first computer, a helping hand me down from my parents back in 2011. He never ran well. I blamed it on a lot of things to the wire of time, starting with the aging of processor Pentium 4, bad caps on the motherboard to hard drive errors. USB works, extremely slow performance, stops and weird/sali post codes at the start are all symptoms. Once I hit him (not very hard) once out of frustration and she completely restarted. Then, it worked fine for months. This weekend, however, I was reached behind the unit to plug in a USB key (the front USBs long quit date, as I mentioned above) and it stops without any sign of restart. I have tried unplugging for a while, and then reconnect (it worked in the past, it has happened before), but it did not help. I checked on the inside, and the Green LED on the motherboard was off. Then, I started to suspect the PSU. A paper clip test confirmed my suspicions... and I could see the capacitors that have failed inside during the inspection below. I tested the power supply that failed but in my other 4700, and it failed. I borrowed the PSU work from this computer and put it in one with faulty POWER, but instead of starting block flashes an orange light by the power button. The power failure took the motherboard with it: (?) Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

  Is the power button LED, solid or flashing and what color?

  What is the reading of the 4 on the rear panel diagnostic lights?

  The tool and Dimension 4700 Service Manual/Diagnostic Guides are here:

  http://downloads.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_dimension_desktops/dimension-4700_service%20manual_en-us.PDF

  Are there messages of error, or 'tweets '?

  Yes, it is possible that the motherboard is shorted [aka fried]

• Last automatic update windows tried to kill my computer...

  The only thing installed yesterday was an update automatic windows vista. I turned off my laptop, and when I got home I tried to start it up. Windows wouldn't start in normal mode, so I booted in safe mode, scanned with my antivirus, antimalware... etc... and found nothing. So, I used the system recovery and put the laptop on the eve of thinking maybe something strange was snuck in. It worked fine, so I thought it was good. I created a new poin of recovery, re-installed upgrading windows and close.
  He walks this morning to find that he had the same problem. I started back in safe mode, reused the system recovery and used the recovery point that I had put just before I downloaded the updates of windows and now everything works fine. I have disabled the automatic updates and I have not had problems since.
  Does anyone know why the Windows Update tries to kill my computer? The Auto-mises to day running all the time and I've never had this problem before.

  Any help or advice is appreciated. Thank you.

  Merydeth,
  If you are still having this problem and have not updated your system then here are a few things to try.  First of all, make sure that your system is free from any infection malware\virus.  If you do not have an up-to-date antivirus program and then take a look at this article: get rid of the malware , it has lots of good info on the programs to try.  Then, you go through Windows Update and install updates one at a time to determine that perhaps there was a problem.  Post back with the update and we can discuss more later.

• Sweet video for Dimension 4700 card?

  Sweet video for Dimension 4700 card?
  I was given an old Dell 4700 of Dimension that has the integrated VGA video connector and never had a video card. The computer came with a modem only in the PCI 1 slot and the PCI Express x 16 slot is empty.
  I read old posts here on this subject, but most is outdated and some recommend cards that use too much power for the 305 watt power supply.
  It's so confusing when I look at say a HD5450 there are so many brands and versions his crazy confusion.
  Thanks for any help
  Ron.

  AMD made graphic processor chips and sells them to manufacturers of cards, who exploit them in turn to produce finished their own individual designs graphics cards.

  The 5450 is cheaper than the 6450 and consumes less power, but it is less powerful and has fewer features. My favorite range low graphics card is the 6450 Sapphire, and I bought some of them for use in old Dells.

• Dimension 4700 does not

  Hello world

  I have a Dimension 4700 with installed XP3 that recently started having a problem shortly after the start. The owner told me she was online when she got a BSOD. However, she cut the power without note the exact error message. Since that date, when the PC boots, it stops responding almost immediately after loading. The mouse & keyboard seem to work, but I can't click on the icons for items in the start menu. CTRL-Alt-Delete to open the Task Manager, but it does not meet the shutdown command.

  Virus-free, ran clean in safe mode, and even tried to change MSCONFIG for diag mode, but no change. I did a complete scan and it found no errors.

  Before you do a system reinstall, can anyone think another possible cause?

  Thank you in advance.

  If you end the Explorer process in the Manager of tasks and then restart it by running ecplorer.exe is the system restore?

  Probably, you should perform a new installation, see my Guide for reinstalling Windows / A Clean Windows XP installation for detailed instructions:

• Dimension 4700 Internet connection

  I have a Dimension 4700 that is connected to an external modem provided by my ISP. When you try to open a Web browser {none}, I get the message saying that it is not connected to the internet, BUT if I try to connect to a Messenger service, I have NO problem. It connects very well. Someone please tell me what setting needs to be changed to get the browser to connect. We had some storms, nor my protection against the virus or Adware detected viruses or other issues...

• Dimension 4700 desktop will not start

  I have a Dimension 4700 desktop computer that has been sitting in storage for a while. I wanted to start and see is there something to this subject that I had to save or erase the hard drive. As far as I know, it was working fine when it was put away. Now it won't start at all. Here is what I know-

  Dimension 4700

  Service etiquette: ADMIN NOTE: Service tag deleted by privacy policy >

  running Windows XP Home Edition

  Power light turns on and remains lit (green). DVD players do a rotation test (but will not read a boot disk). The hard drive light comes on and stays on.

  Does NOT display a Dell spash screen. The screen is blank (black) with the exception of a simple white flashing cursor (line underscore). It crashes in this condition.

  Does not meet the keyboard commands (ctl + alt + del, esc, f8, f11... etc.). Does not respond to reset (press power button in disable).

  Diagnostic lights are lit on the rear panel. A, B, C are all stable and green. D is amber and regular.

  All inner and peripheral cables seem to be properly fixed.

  When the power to the hard drive cable is removed, it does NOT POST beeps (the condition is the same).

  I can't get to the Setup screen. I can't boot from a cd. I don't get any sound signals (beeps).

  It is out of warranty, and troubleshooting knowledge base sent in a recursive loop items that never exceeded the step #2. Someone at - it suggestions?

  Because it has been stored for a while, first stage, with the PC off, is to reinstall (unplug then plug back in) all the memory, PCI cards such as video, sound, etc. and all cable connectors.  Make sure that when you plug the points back in that you get fully and correctly reinstalled.     Back off and see if that makes a difference.
