• Two monitors for Optiplex 3020 small format

  Just got my OptiPlex 3020 small form today. Noticed right away that a single output to a monitor. After the trip to Best Buy and learning that a regular video card will not fit my turn, no one knows how to reach two monitors to a small Tower? Thank you!

  I went with a Display Port-HDMI adapter and it worked perfectly. As soon as I plugged both monitors, the computer read and gave me access dual monitor without having me to do anything.

• Is it possible to run an Optiplex 3020 Headless?

  My client uses an Optiplex 3020 M as a server.  No user connects to this PC.  Can it operate without a monitor? (without head)

  Hi Ron,

  Well, you're right, Dell is certainly not too concerned that this feature does not work.  For what it's worth, the electronics in the blind plug is very simple, so I am VERY confident that it is NOT the blind plug.  I think this has more to do with the form factor of M (micro) than anything else.  I'd love to have someone to try it on a TM or even a SFF.

  I really have no place to put the monitor, but I guess I'll make room under a desk.  I COULD also use a KVM but I fear to confuse the staff of the office with "too many buttons... Laughing out loud

  Thanks again for all your efforts and discussion.  The bottom line is IT DOESN 'T SUPPORT it.

• Intermittent white screen of OptiPlex 755 SFF on POLE

  Hi all, I have a desktop dell optiplex 755 SFF with intermittent white screen when I turn on the PC. Before my problem, I installed the following:

  2 x 1 GB of ram (total ram is 4 GB)

  Radeon HD 5450 graphics card

  TV tuner card

  Everything worked well for 1 year with the installed equipment. I then removed the old cpu E2100 and installed an E7500 requiring an update of the BIOS to A21 to recognize the new processor. The PC has worked for about 2 weeks, until these problems occurred.

  I use the radeon with a dvi cable graphics card to the monitor.

  As already indicated the white screen issue is intermittent, sometimes the screen is detected immediately, sometimes it takes 10 seconds, sometimes up to 1 minute.

  If anyone can provide suggestions I would be very happy.

  You have a lot of Ram.  No amount of removal and reinstallation will solve the problem.

• Dual monitor crashing my computer

  Hello

  I am currently under a dual screen setup with my monitor and a separate screen. It seems to work fine for a while and then all of a sudden my computer will start to act up, and then it will go to the blue screen of death. A small window pop up at the bottom left says there is a problem with my video card driver, but I have updated their and still get the same problem.

  Info:

  Laptop - Toshiba Satellite M300 - 4 GB RAM - Vista Home Premium

  Screen - Samsung SyncMaster 245BW

  Graphics - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics card

  Also, I checked the information page on the ATI website for this video card, and they even state it supports dual monitor.

  
  

  Thanks in advance, Scott

  EDIT - if I remove the VGA cable connect my laptop on the screen while my computer crashes, it will return to normal after a second or two. However, if I try to plug it back in then it will take to crash my computer.

• Card PCI-E graphic for Dell Optiplex 755 SFF

  Hi all

  I have an Optiplex 755 SFF 275W PSU and PCI-E video slim with.  Graphics on this series are awful - video DVD playback cannot without jerking.  I spent a few hours trolling on the web trying to determine which video card will work in the 755.  The general consensus of the 'guaranteed' card is the Radeon HD 2400 PRO.  So, I managed to follow a fact (after trying a 5570 & it not even leave the PC start), had shipped here and installed.  To see that it does not too leave the PC startup.  So typical of Dell to make the PC which are incredibly limited.  What is the point of having a PC capable of running Win 7 (will have 8 GB of DDR2 RAM, has currently of 2 GB and currently has a Dual E6550 - core 2.3 Ghz CPU) when he cannot take a card even modestly spec'd?  This is the last time that I buy Dell.

  Anyway, having spent the mug shot (ah, much better, thank you)-why the this junky 755 will only take the so-called "guaranteed" HD 2400 PRO?  When I try to start it up, it not this stupid pre-start high ramp / down fans, then turns off, try again, then turns off, then on the 3rd go fans just go hard on & stay like that for as long as I care to leave.  If I take the HD 2400 PRO on & put this stupid DVI adapter card in the PCI-E slot, it's all good.

  No changes have been made to the 755 - it's just a standard stock machine.  If for some bizarre reason, all others using the HD 2400 PRO with the 755 SFF tell bald-faced lies (that is, they are not really using a HD 2400 PRO at all), what are the other maps?  I see that the motherboard has "25W" appear next to the slot PCI - E - but the HD 2400 PRO is rated at 25 w max.

  Buy the 755 was supposed to be an inexpensive way to make a living desktop PC.  I don't want to lose more money on cards that don't work.  And the HD 2400 PRO was relatively expensive for such an old map, obsolete (crazy NZD$ 42 - when a 5570 is only NZD$ 65).

  Any help / constructive suggestions appreciated.

  You can change. Click the Green pencil. But I already have to remove both blasphemous words.

• Dell MDS14 Dual Monitor Stand, Portrait orientation?

  Hi all there a Dell MDS14 Dual Monitor Stand. I just want to confirm if one of the monitors can be in portrait orientation?

  I want to mount one 24 inches horizontally and the other 24 inches in portrait mode.

  Thanks in advance.

  If anyone is interested, Yes, you can mount the monitor in portrait mode using the included vesa plate.

  All you need to do is fix the vesa plate in the necessary direction and fix.

  The only issue is that it adds about 5mm is not Ras if you align perfectly flat monitors horizontally.

  But if use you it like me and have a slight angle inward at the portrait screen it's a problem no.

  PS, if you need to rinse, you can always mount two monitors with vesa :) plate

• Dual monitor dilemma: dvi - d, out of reach

  I have been running this Setup dual monitor since late December and have had no problems so far. But before I did my primary secondary monitor and tried to run 'Civilization beyond Earth' (which I've cranked up for the highest possible settings) on it and was greeted with "dvi - d out of reach of the 67.5 khz/60 Hz" on a black screen. So I restarted my computer, which only complicated the issue because my LG (which again, read "dvi - d out of reach of the 67.5 khz/60 Hz") was my main monitor, and so I couldn't connect. It's been fixed only when I unplugged my other monitors the dvi cable, and my login screen appears.  I can run the other monitor as my primary, but only if the LG is unplugged, and as soon as I plug my LG it becomes main monitor and displays new "dvi - d out of reach of the 67.5 khz/60 Hz", which means that I can't do my other monitor primary so that the two are connected.

  My questions are: You have an idea, what is the problem? Or how to fix it? I can't stop the LG to the monitor main spot? Why is it read "dvi - d out of reach of the 67.5 khz/60 Hz" when the two are connected?

  Graphics card: AMD Radeon R9 270 X

  Monitior problem: 20 "backlit LED LG 1600 x 900 display

  Hey Joe,

  Thanks for posting your concern on the Microsoft community.

  With the description you've provided, looks like there could be some problems with the resolution of the video card.

  I suggest you increase the refresh rate of the video card and check if that helps. You can follow the steps described in the following article:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/correct-monitor-flicker-refresh-rate#1TC=Windows-7

  Note: If you notice flicker on a CRT monitor, you may need to change your screen resolution before changing the refresh rate. The resolution is high, the higher your refresh rate should be, but not every screen resolution is compatible with every refresh rate.

  For more information, see

  Change your screen resolution:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-your-screen-resolution

  Changes to the refresh rate affect all users who log on the computer.

  Hope this information helps. Let us know the State and do not hesitate to write back to us for assistance.

• The main screen becomes secondary in a Setup dual monitor (DVI-HDMI)

  Original title: WINDOWS PROGRAMMERS: problem with OS Windows7 not being not able change the numbers of identifiers when using multiple screens and HDMI

  To be clear... This problem is with the Win7 OS - no video card GUI that allow to change number ID display on multiple monitors.

  Problem with several screens and the use of HDMI cables substituent and #1 assuming that for its corresponding display view identifier.

  Not always ID desired.

  But there is no way to change this.

  EXAMPLE:

  Monitor is configured as primary display (ID #1) using a DVI cable

  Then I connect my SONY Bravia or my LG HDTV displays using HDMI cables, the new screen automatically takes over as the display identifier #1 and the monitor becomes identifier #2.

  -This introduces to the identifiers is not something I want, need or want to deal with every time I use several displays. And it creates problems.

  There is NO way to correct or modify the identifiers.

  Please provide a FIX as soon as possible if you have an ounce of concern for the customer service.

  The solution can be as simple as:

  GO to THE control panel - appearance and customization - display - change display settings:

  Right CLICK... on one of the displays in the window to the left of "Detect" / "identify."

  Then the OPTION 'Change display login' with a list of relevant identifier numbers according to the number of multiple connected screens.

  Click 'apply '.

  CLICK ON 'OK '.

  and Voila! View identifiers are defined.

  We, your customers, look forward to the difficulty of Windows update that contains this fix a lot expected and necessary.

  Hi Jean-Pierre.

  Thank you for all the information related to the issue.

  This problem may occur if the display of the configuration settings dual monitor retain the configuration. Possible reasons could be installed on the computer outdated display driver.

  1. What is the brand and model of the computer or the graphics card?
  2. Are you using double display card? Sometimes changing the display settings for the display cards might solve the problem.

  First of all, if you have a display of the map or media panel installed on the computer, go to the control panel and change the setting under multiple display change. Assign the identity number according to the status monitor, then check if it retains the configuration when you restart the computer.

  Additionally, make sure that you have installed the latest version of the display driver for Windows 7 from the website of the manufacturer of the computer. Sometimes, if the driver is not being updated, the setting may not keep the entire installation. See the link to know how to update the driver on Windows 7:

• I have a Setup dual monitor.  When I paste develop settings from one image to the other, Lightroom going on the active window.

  Strange problem.  5.5 Lightroom.  Windows 8.1. Setting up dual monitor.

  I am processing a lot important photos.  I have #1 monitor set as my main to develop the window with #2 monitor configured only to display a larger version of the image, I work with. If I copy the parameters of development out of a picture and try to paste them on another image, Lightroom will increase from the #1 to the monitor #2 monitor in the main window to develop and does not display anything on the monitor #1.

  If I then try to paste develop settings on another image on the monitor #2, LR then displays a larger version of the image, I have been working with the #1 monitor.

  To work like I want to, I have to constantly drag my develop the window back to the #1 monitor whenever I try to paste the settings on a new image of development. How can I make this stop?

  I have similar (but different) problems dual monitor. Just posted this on my thread unanswered. It may be useful:

  Blessed excrement! After frustrating months of bi-ecrans LR questions and a month of waiting for an answer on this forum, I called Adobe technical support. Only five minutes before dialing, I had updated my PhotoShop CC application. When the useful Adobe tech classmate is online, I can't reproduce all the issues that had been plaguing me. It is a stretch... a biiiiig stretch... but he is feels/figure/seems that PhotoShop CC update has fixed my bi-ecrans LR problems! I'll keep track of what other programs I use and open while LR - ing to see if they are relaxing, but for now, everything is quite in front of two monitors.

• Dual monitor in first Pro CC

  Just updated yesterday and thousands of others.  Had no problems whatsoever.  Opened for the first time this morning and support dual monitor disappeared.  I go into Preferences-> playback and the box is always checked yesterday.  I unchecked, saved, restarted the computer, restarted, it re-enabled and the second monitor displays always only my desktop.  Pulls up to After Effects and support dual monitor still works fine.  My colleague has not had the same problem.  I'm on an iMac 2012 with 20 GB of Ram, using a bolt of lightning DVI adapter for the second monitor.  Still, second works fine for everything but the first monitor and it worked yesterday.  Any ideas?

  Thanks for the quick response.  I came back to the post that we had solved when I saw your post.  In my case, the issue was that first was 'pending' just a pixel or two on my second monitor that prevented to use it as a second screen.  Not sure how that is spent, but thought I'd share in case someone else has the same problem.  I'll keep your thing in mind for the future too.

  Thank you.

• Dell OptiPlex 755 SFF rear disc HARD fan Press F1 CORRECTED an error!

  EDIT: Fix for F1 error is on the #2 post. Try only if you know what you are doing and don't mind not having is not a HDD stupid fan. I now only use a SSD and it needs no power noisy fan to waste.

  ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

  I removed the fan hard drive dying on the Dell Optiplex 755 SFF (fan is built in a hdd cage) and modded the side of the case to include a Yate Loon 120 mm fan. I removed the hard drive in its entirety and then used cage the where the floppy drive has been to place my SSD 256 GB of free space. The system is much more pleasant that way, and now he has place for 120mm fan (already modded).

  However, at startup, there is a rear fan error and it asks you to press F1 to continue. It disappears when I connect the old dying noisy fan (has more room for it). Because I don't want the hard drive cage (or his fan also) and I can not put the fan back in, I want to use the connector and the son of the old fan dead and hang it in my nice new Yate Loon, which is the ideal solution for cooling (used as a suction fan).

  The color codes are:

  Yate Loon (D12SL-12): Red = 12v, black = mass, yellow = Tach (I think)

  Dell drive HARD fan (STROKE BN06015B12H): Red = 12v, black = mass, yellow? Blue? (PWM or tachometer)

  What are the blue and yellow for the Dell HARD drive fan? Can I just plug the Red of Dells Yates red and black wire on black? This should give me a 12v fan work, however I wonder if the loons Yate flying over red wire could be used for the sensor.

  Any help would be great. Really sad that Dell did not include a fan setting ignore in the bios.

  Thank you!

  SkOrPn

  EDIT: Ok, Yate Loon do not light up when it is connected to the fan header. What is missing? The old fan of Dell is rated 12v A 0.36 and the YL is 12v 0.30 A, less than the old fan so the fan header would seem like the logical place to get needed power as it provides much. When the old fan is plugged it provides 12v, but does not provide power when Miss the blue and yellow wires?

  Edit2: Ok, understood as the Yate Loon uses the Red wire as the 12v fan (somehow, I thought it was yellow). Now, I think that the yellow must be a son of tachometer for rpm. Now I'm wondering if the Dell system can monitor the number of TOWERS to connect the yellow wire without prejudice to the system without the connected blue. In fact, I wonder if the controller monitors just RPM to warn of the fan failure. If so, maybe I can connect the yellow and get rid of this error from the BIOS at startup screen.

  Hello

  I've linked yellow pine of wire of the connector of the fan HARD drive on yellow pine of the CPU fan connector and no fan of F1 more at startup error -correction

  I have no need for my SSD disk drive hard noisy fan.
