Keep in mind that I have installed HD6570 and 4 GB of ram that I do, t if this is going to be a problem with the power supply

I have a 790 DT that came with an i3-2120. If I use an i7-2600, there is no video output. If I replace the i3-2120, it works again.

Why do you say that the i7-2600 is supported?

  • Power supply Dell Optiplex 790 SFF cycles power on and off when it is plugged

    My new to me SFF Optiplex 790 does not start - pressing power causes a switch to send amber for a few seconds, the 1 + 2 diagnostic lights shine briefly, and then the system turns off. But wait... with power plugged in, it will try to restart every 10 seconds or until I have unplug the unit.

    System lasted about 30-40 minutes when I tested it, but it starts then power cycling.

    Power supply passes with built-in 'green light' regardless of any internal or external devices connected. I bought a sweater 'work' PSU, no change.

    Ideas for testing? System is stock, no mods or upgrades of what I see.

    > one last thing my qosmio I NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 256 MB, but I don't know if it is possible to change or not. If possible, what video card will be the best?

    No, the graphics card can not be upgraded

    What you can do, it is memory and the upgrade of the HARD drive. This should be very easy and should cause no serious problems.

    Upgrading CPU is little tricky.

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite A200 - 1 M 8

    Hello

    I want to upgrade CPU in my A200 - 1 M 8 (now there is T7100).

    I consider two processors:
    (a) supported by T7700 Merom with 65nm, casings made PBGA479, PPGA478
    (b) T8300 Penryn with 45nm, casings BGA479 taken in charge, PGA478

    I would prefer Penryn becouse of low power consumption and less heat generated then Merom.
    But I don't know for sure, Penryn will work on my laptop?
    There is also no update BIOS for A200 - 1 M 8 (PSAE6E) - I gess, that my bios does not support newer T8300.

    I searched internet and have not found anyone who has done this before.

  • Pavilion DV7 Upgrade CPU

    I have a PC entertainment DV7 Dv7 (2273cl). Recently, I had to change the motherboard and learned how to make so that I might also be able to upgrade the processor. Looking in the maintenance manual, authorized processors include a CPU that I bought on Ebay (Q9100). The Q9100 both my original T6600 CPU are all two registered in the maintenance manual, so I think the Q9100 would work in my computer.

    I installed the new processor and it fit perfectly. But once I had everything back together, the computer would start up, but I would get blink codes by the capslock and above the number pad of a single wink separated by 3 seconds, which, looking around, seems to be that the CPU does not code.

    So is there a way to get this CPU to work? It's a quad core vs a dual core. Do I need to Flash the bios to a higher version prior to make it work? Startup will not go far enough to bring me to any type of screen or anything that would allow me to get this working.

    Of course, I'd like to upgrade one dual core to a quad core.

    Any help would be most appreciated. When I went back to my old processor, I couldn't start the computer and had to take it apart and put it all together again to make it work, so I don't want to tinker around too much in the computer, I do not have a route safe to go ahead with.

    Thank you

    In addition, I have discovered how to find my current BIOS version which is the following:

    If this is the case I would avoid upgrading CPU completely... too much chance of bricking it.

  • Lack of Dell Optiplex 790, PCI Simple Communications controller driver

    Performed a clean installation of Windows 10 Pro on my Dell OptiPlex 790.  Everything went well and all device drivers have been installed except one, the Intel AMT - GROUND device.  The vendor id is 8086 and the device id is 1C3D.  Can help you with this question?

    Thank you.

    -Jim

    It seems that it is the Intel Series driver LAN.  Your computer was never tested by Dell for Windows 10, which means there is no new driver created by Intel, etc., that can work.  You can google Intel AMT/GROUND and see if Intel has a driver for your chipset that can work.  It looks like Dell stopped supporting your computer for Windows 8.0

  • OptiPlex 790 SFF need service tag

    I bought an Optiplex 790 SFF skeleton and found out that it doesn't have a label service all over her. How can I get a serial number for it? I can from Dell?

    Latest version of the BIOS for OptiPlex 790 is here. Serial number shouldn't matter...

    Read and follow the instructions carefully and turn off anti-virus suite first, if you install it in Windows.

    Keep in mind there is always a small chance a BIOS update fails and kill the motherboard. So upgrade at your own risk...

    Assuming that ST has not been removed from the BIOS, you should be able to find by using the free version of Belarc Advisor.

  • Question of OptiPlex 790 Displayport

    I have an Optiplex 790 and am setting up two monitors.  Two monitors are DVI and VGA inputs.  My 790 has a VGA and Displayport output.  I have the standard VGA cable and it works very well on both monitors.  I also have a Displayport adapter to DVI with a DVI cable.  When I have this hook to each monitor receive nothing.  The monitor is just like it does when it is not connected.  I tested the Displayport adapter and cable on the anther, put in place that works fine so I know the cables work.  In the video settings, it is only showing that I have a monitor.  Any help would be great.

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro C660-219

    Hello.

    I wonder just to upgrade CPU on my laptop to get some perfomance.
    I did the upgrade of RAM to 8 gb and 64 bit Win7.
    Now, it's processor i3 - 370 M (3 m cache, 2.40 GHz).

    I'm sure I can go to i3 - 390 M (3 m Cache, 2.66 GHz) processor, but it will be useless IMO.
    It has same Cache and just a little bit faster CPU count:

    > I need someone to answer the question: can I ride this laptop an i5 or i7 without problem with compatibility with the motherboard?
    You should know that upgrades of processors are not supported by any laptop manufacturer. This means that no one can tell if a CPU would be fully compatible and cause no worries. These upgrades are own risk.

    You could read this statement from Toshiba about upgrades.
    [Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop computer? | http://APS2.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm]

    The point is that even the chipset which is part of the motherboard would support the new processor, BIOS would not fully compatible and the combination of BIOS and the new processor may cause new troubles.

    The camera seems to supports the INTEL HM55 chipset and to my knowledge, the Toshiba Satellite C660/C665/Pro C660 series is based on a Dual Core/Quad Core Processor (* Intel Arrandale processors *)

    So if you want to find a compatible CPU, you should check the processors owned by the family of processors Intel Arrandale.

    This Forum on NECK, we discussed several times the upgrade. For best performance, a lot of people want to upgrade CPU. Update CPU is not supported, and in particular cooling system, each laptop model is designed to work with certain hardware platform.

    In general the Qosmio laptops have the best material with excellent performance, so I put t know why you think the CPU upgrade. In my opinion, you should spend RAM and HARD drive. It is supported and can be done by the owner of the laptop without losing the warranty valid.

    Maximum RAM HDD Upgrade and upgrade with SSD and you will see the difference. You will be surprised with the speed of your laptop is.

    I ve do on my laptop. It works perfectly now. Think about all of this.
