Issue on Inspiron 530 MOBO replacement

First I want to apologize because I bet that a lot of people before me came before ask exactly the same question, but I need to hear it straight from the mouth of the horse to clear doubts I may, besides I did search for similar topics on the dell forum and cela and nothing conclusive why after pondering for months I should do yet another topic related to dell inspiron 530 or not , but I have finally decided to bite the bullet and we are here. As the title suggests I have questions about the replacement of my dell inspiron 530 mobo broke, it's the G33m02 who, what little research, I can only take up to 4gbs of ram, or 8 gb according to the interviewee (and where is my star doubts) and cannot stand other processors core 2 duo like the one he had, however I have read somewhere in the dell forum that case made for dell computers may have other mobos dell for the same model computer, for example a 530's (which apparently have been sold only in China) motherboard can be replaced by a 530 ordinary because of the PIN and connectors and a few other tech mumbo jumbo that goes completely over my head and I was wondering if I could replace my dell inspiron for a G33M03 or DG33M03 so G33m02 I can also upgrade the processor now that I have access to the core 2 quad processors and 8gbs of ram for some, again, I am sorry I have to do yet another of them because what I saw thousands of people had doubts about this but none appeared to be conclusive enough for me
Edit: Also, I forgot to ask, can I just buy a. G33M03 or DG33M03 MOBOs or not be a manufactured by Dell, also, these two are my only two choice in addition to become another G33M02? Again, I am really sorry and thank you for taking the time to read this

SETH VALENTINET

The G33m02 is a [cheaper] depopulated version of the motherboard that has only a voltage regulator IC 6, rather than regulators 11 voltage on the motherboard G33m03, that supports the processors Core 2 Duo and Quad Core.

The card mother G33m02 can be replaced by the motherboard G33m03, but food must also be replaced by a unit 350w +, instead of the default 300w unit installed with the card mother G33m02.

Inspiron motherboards are built by Foxconn for exclusive specifications of Dell.

With regard to the installation of a non Dell motherboard, probably best to use a motherboard specs Dell, as the BIOS accept software OEM Dell, for example operating systems, more it will match the cabling of the Panel Connectors front chassis Dell.

PS, I still have an old Inspiron 530 MT of 9 years, with a G33m02 motherboard was updated with hybrid hard drives, Windows 10 and an e8600 LGA 775 processor

  • Inspiron 530 mini graphic tour update issues

    Hi, this is my first post here. So be gentle with me, okay.

    In any case, I'm looking to update my graphics card in the integrated graphics card Intel POS in my Inspiron 530 (regular Mini-Tower).  I plan on upgrading the processor from the Celeron 2.2 Single-Core to a C2D E8400 and E8500 (depends on the pricing on Amazon) in the next month. What would be the best graphics card to go with either processors?

    I have compiled a list of possible choices HERE . My budget is $ 100 to $ 130, although I'd certainly go lower if possible.

    I have a power supply 650W ready to go, so now worry about voltage required.  Current specifications are lower.

    Intel Celeron 450 2.2 GHz (soon to C2D E8400 or E8500 @3.0 and 3.16 GHZ with respect)

    2 GB RAM *, HD 250 GB (OS) & 500 GB HD (storage)

    XFX 650W PSU

    Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (64-bit to take advantage of the upgrade of RAM past)

    * plan on upgrading the RAM to 4 GB

    Also forgot to mention, I intend to play, execution of Dragon Age: Origins and other more modern games. All that will be a blessing on the integrated graphics card. Thank you.

    In fact, of 3 choices you listed Asus 7770 has the best cooler, I'm fan NVIDIA but EVGA cards you listed have noisy fans. In addition, as I have not heard anything any case change, I can add that Asus has the most effective cooler of your 3 choices, MSI Cyclone GPU cooler (NVIDIA or ATI) is best for your original case - as you can see I've changed the case for cooling reasons.

  • Dell Inspiron 530 starts 3 times

    For several months, my old Inspiron 530 of 5 years had the following problem:

    A cold, start it from power for a few seconds (noise noisy fan), then turn off, then turn on for a few seconds, then power off, then turn on and proceed as usual.  So from a cold start, it starts up 3 times in total.

    When the computer is restarted, it will be turned off, to power for a few seconds, turn off lights up again, and proceed normally.  So a reboot, it lights up a total of 2 times.

    I tried the following hotfixes and so far none of them have solved the problem (it may not in the right order):

    I contacted Dell support.  They said it was a "software problem" and they try several different things on a connection at a distance.  After about 5 hours of trying to solve the problem without a solution, I was told it was not a software problem, but a hardware problem and referred me to the support group equipment tech.  The technician of this group told me that it was a software problem and that I needed to reinstall the operating system.  Since I also read on the internet that it could be a power supply issue, I refer to Dell sales that could sell me a replacement power.

    I bought food and installed it, but that has no effect.

    I bought a new video card and installed it, but it had no effect on the problem of restarting and cause additional problems.  I removed the new video card and reinstalled the old video card.

    I contacted Norton do a virus removal within distance.  I have had two technicians various Norton works remotely to resolve the startup problem, but they failed.

    As a last resort, I decided to go ahead and re-install the operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.  I actually reinstalled software twice, because I didn't reformat the C: drive when I did the first resettlement.  I did the reformatting of the C: drive of the resettlement of 2nd.  My Inspiron 530 boots now much faster and also runs much faster, it will still take 3 starts to go.

    So if anyone out there has any idea on this issue, be it a fix, or if I should just let it be and not be concerned about it, please reply to let me know your suggestions.  If additional details are required, please let me know.

    3. start problem solved! Change video card. Got rid of my stock 8300GS and replaced with GeForce 8500GTfrom Amazon Echoshop for about $40.00 and cared of the 3 start problem! Good luck what a card impressive. I never thought it was the map of the origin of the problem? Good enough technicians could figure that one out. SURPRISE LOL

    7750 HD is the best card you can get without upgrading your diet after the HD 6670 and the HD 6570.  Forget the HD 5450 or GT 210 for the games.  You will have much more luck find the display port you want in the HD 7750 against each other.

  • Inspiron 530 video upgrade question card

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 has. It has all the pieces of stock right now, but I'll put a core 2 duo E7400 in there when it happens. The next issue is that I need a video card for it. What is the best card that can be put in it without an upgrade to the PSU, yet? The power supply will not be upgraded for awhile. The motherboard is the G33M02, not 03 version version. He seems to have the 1.0.15 installed BIOS version, I will update as soon as I have the chance. It has not always been connected even to install an operating system - came empty (just bought from a wholesaler of machines of companies).

    Edit - forgot the bios information.

    Forget the 8400 GS.  This card is too old and has little to offer with regard to the performance of the game.  The HD 6450 or 610 GT are the best cards. The minimum requirement to play Mechwarrior online is the HD 6450 and the GT 610 offers similar performance.  If you want something better without too much spending, I'd recommend getting the HD 6570 HERE.  This card would have much better performance of game at the expense of others.

  • Inspiron 530 s displays only half screen via HDMI or DVI

    I have a strange problem that I'm seeing with an Inspiron 530 s that I'm trying to get up and running again.  It seems to work fine if I use the default VGA port, but if I try to connect it to a TV via HDMI or DVI, it only appears on half of the screen.  The left side of the screen looks normal (be it screens start Dell or actually in Windows).  The right side of the screen is a series of vertical lines.

    I checked the video card isn't the issue.  I swapped another video card in and it does the same thing.  Both cards work fine in another machine.  I also checked the TV working properly.

    I hung the 530 s on a normal 17 "monitor via the VGA port and I see the entire screen.

    The version of the BIOS is 1.0.0.18 that I understand to be the latest version.

    I really want to get this working, but I'm not sure what to look at this point.

    Other tests established that the 530 s as well as the 531 s (which I could test on both) must have problems with some video cards.  Once I established that the question could be reproduced on both models, I decided that this must be an incompatibility problem rather than a problem with the motherboard.

    I decided to try to get Windows installed despite the half of the screen.  Once I had Windows installed, I changed the resolution to the native resolution of the TV (1366 x 768) and the damaged screen went away.  Somehow, it was fixed even if I rebooted the machine, at this time there and I was able to navigate through the BIOS with a normal screen.  In fact, I was not able to reproduce the problem again until completely stop the machine and remove the power completely.  After that, the machine would still start with display messed up, which would remain until when you start Windows, it changed the resolution of the screen at native resolution and there again it would be "fixed".

    The video card is not really new, but I think that it may have been written in a more recent specification of the standard PCI-E that this motherboard can be expected.  If I were so inclined, I could probably find a video card that does not have this problem, but instead, I think I'll just this weird issue.

  • Inspiron 530 s CPU Upgrade - why some Dual Core and not others?

    Hi all

    Inspiron 530 s been chugging along fine (although strong), but has now been replaced, so decided to take a look inside, radiator & fan felt loose so unscrewed it and he lifted directly out absolutely no resistance, so I think that the cpu and the radiator cleaning and put thermal paste on would be a good idea.

    When I opened it, I thought that I might as well upgrade the processor as older bicoeur are going for about $10-15 here, (he currently has a 1.87? double heart in it), so I got a reading of the forum to find what was possible

    from the bottom of post

    quote - shesageordie

    Inspiron 530 s has a mother FoxConn G33m02 meets the specifications of Dell and will support the following Socket LGA 775 processors:

    Processor Intel Celeron 430
    Intel Celeron 420 processor (1.6 GHz, 800 FSB)
    Intel Pentium Dual Core 2140 (1.6 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Pentium Dual-Core 2160 (1.8 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 (2.5 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 (1.8 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 (2.0 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)

    Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 (2.66 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 (2.80 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
    Wolfdale Core 2 Duo E8400, 3.0 GHz, 6 MB, 1333 MHz FSB, 65W, E0

    Also, Intel Pentium E6500 2.93 GHz processor dual core.

    Before installing the processor, that you should check that you have BIOS Version 1.0.15 or above, when support for the new Intel processor has been added.

    Note: The Quad Core 2 processors are not supported by the Inspiron 530 s [Slimline]

    Bev.

    Theres now my problem

    Seem some of the processors used cheap available locally does not not at these figures (and they seem to be somewhat of Eug than those that match)

    for example the E8200 E6850, E7200, what of these processors prevents them from working?

    And as a note aside will upgrade the radiator and the fan, if I get a different processor?

    Nigelt74

    The E7200 and E8200 are 65w/45nm Wolfdale processors and should work.

    The E6850 is a 65w/65nm Conroe and will not work

    There should be no need to replace the entire radiator/fan of the 530 Inspiron s, but remember to check the version of the BIOS before installing the processor.

  • Graphics card for Inspiron 530 desktop PC

    I need a replacement of the graphics card for a Dell Inspiron 530, I got in 2008.  Any suggestions?

    hudsonnyc

    Assuming you have the Inspiron 530 mini tour and not the Slimline version.

    You could install a GeForce 9400 GT 1 GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x 16, with the default 300w power supply.

    I've been using same GeForce 9400 GT 1 GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x 16 in the Inspiron 530, with the supply POWER Dell 300w, without any problem.

    The GeForce GT 240 1 GB 128 - bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 ready video card x 16 HDCP, would be also compatible.

    If you want to install a more powerful video card, this would require the set power level.

  • Dell Inspiron 530 upgrade

    I think I'll eventually replace the CPU, motherboard and RAM. However, I expect comments on this better replacements to keep the same power in the short term. I want to just update for children, so high-end is not necessary, but if the price is right, it would be better. I think my biggest concern is the USB/sound/etc ports front. Currently, I think that it is running a 305 w power, and a PCI-e x 16 video card.

    Are the connectors for these propritary Dell or will they work with a new motherboard?

    Does anyone know the Council size max will take the case and the motherboard (ATX/mini-ATX/BTX/etc) what is? I thought it was an ATX, but I thought I would check when obtaining the size max able to adapt...

    The Inspiron 530 MT supports a card mother Micro-ATX.

    You may be involved with the rear i/o Panel, Dell has integrated this into the back panel of the chassis, retail motherboards have separate I/O panels that fit into an ATX chassis, you must change the case, through an opening in the Dell chassis for it.  You can find it easier to buy a standard ATX case.

    Dell OEM windows not with a copy card mother not Dell, because it is related to their BIOS, prepare to buy a new copy of windows, or Microsoft license.

    Dell front cables and connectors have exclusive features.

    I had an Inspiron 530MT since 2007 and to improve its performance, updated the processor to an e8400, contributed to the maximum our RAM, installed an AMD 7750 graphics card and a primary SSD [that makes a big difference] and recently upgraded to Win 7, to win 10.

  • Move to Dimension HD for Inspiron 530?

    I have a Dimension 3000 running Windows XP that has a motherboard fried.  I bought an Inspiron 530 running Windows Vista as a replacement.  My daughter has a lot of photos on the hard drive of Dimension.

    2 questions:

    -is it possible to put the HD of the Dimension of the Inspiron?  I guess the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80 GB drive is an IDE drive, and I think the Inspiron uses the SATA standard

    -is it possible for Windows Vista a disc formatted by Windows XP?

  • Beep card mother/CPU Dell Inspiron 530 problem

    Hi all!

    I recently acquired an Inspiron 530 G33M02 motherboard with a Dual-Core of E7300 processor.  It worked for a few hours while I was updating windows (my brother had not used for 2 years before), but then all of a sudden the screen empties and computer was turned off.

    To try to restart, the powerbutton lit amber, fans would move for a fraction of a second, and the green light would go on feeding.  I tried the power supply in another computer and it worked while I also installed an another working power known in the Inspiron 530 with the same results.  In research, this lead me to believe the motherboard was bad.

    I have order a new traction (taken before using it on a new computer) on ebay and installed.  Now, I'm getting 7 beeps at the station.  It would point to a faulty processor?  I would limit until I have spend more money on a new processor.

    Thanks for any help/insight!

    7 beeps does not indicate a processor problem,

    To know if it is the processor, you will need to install in a "known" compatible work computer, or replace it with a compatible CPU "Known", as it is difficult to distinguish a faulty processor of a faulty motherboard.

    While you can make an informed diagnosis, troubleshooting, the complexity of the components, it is sometimes diagnosis by substitution.
