Many problems with my D530 SFF, freezing and black monitor (windows xp operating system)

First off I want to start by saying that I am a complete noob when it comes to computer repair. But since it wouldn't kill me if I lost the files on my computer and I intend to get a laptop soon, I'm willing to tinker and try to solve the problem with my office on my own. First on my cpu fan had started to get progressively stronger over the years that my HDD approached capacity. And it seemed that the computer can get more hot than the optimal temperature. At the present time, I think the hard drive is completely filled and maybe ultimately causing my problems. Periodicly, I started getting messages that my virtual memory is too low and that the system could make more room. Now I clean a bit and delete files to make more room. A year and a half, this computer has not connected to the internet that last week I hung it and installed a bunch of updates automatically from windows (seemed to run more quiet and cooler). I also deleted bitdefender and malwarebytes and installed Avira. At the beginning everything worked well for a few days (some lag sometimes, but he had been trolling for a while) and that one day I left the system and did things around the House. When I came back my computer was powered down on its own. When I tried to restart led lights up and the fans and cpu but my monitor does not receive a signal. I turned the computer off checked cords, get rid of the dust in the case and that I tried to restart and got the same thing. After that, I pulled the ram and clean the slots and riser and the cd player and I tried to reboot after the installation. If I remember correctly this time the monitor received the signal, but the system froze on the start menu to hp. After that I stopped and restarted the monitor could not receive the signal. At this point, I decided to leave the 'thing' sit overnight and try again in the morning. I have two-way to ram and Board riser with those of d530 my father and got the same results. After about 6 hours or so I started the computer today and was able to start windows, but when I tried to access the control panel the system froze.  Initially, I thought that my graphics card was out, and I read somewhere else that others had similar problems when their processor is out, but the fact that windows started today left me speechless. It seems I can get liked long in the longer boot process I leave my office to sit down. What is an overheating problem?

Hello:

Your SFF model has two known issues. The CMT is not the power supply issue.

1. the power supply explodes and smoke if left unplugged for a long period of time, so do not leave it unplugged. There are videos of this on the internet for your viewing pleasure (say).  I had 2 of them jumping on me. Scares the heck out of you!

2. the model is released at the time of counterfeiting capacitor.  The symptoms that you are desribing made the diagnosis of bad capacitors.

Check the PC for capacitors sealed or curved around the processor and the motherboard in general.

Here's a good article on who and what to look for. First browse the links on the left and on the right, there are pictures.

If you have bad capacitors, I would just scrap the PC. IMO not worth fixing - what with the bomb ticking power and everything.

  • Problem with hard drive 3 TB and the need to delete the system partition reserved

    I am running Windows 7, 64-bit version.  have another hard disk of 500 GB and I bought a 3 TB hard drive and installed windows 7 on it (3 TB) fine.  But to finish install and found 3 TB hard drive showed only 2 TB of usable disk space.  does a job at home and found that before 2011, the bios of the motherboard can only support HD up to 2 TB, and in order to use all 3 to, I need to convert to GPT disk.  To do this, I need to remove the volume, but since I installed windows 7 more early, he created a score 'system reserved', I can't delete or edit, or format.  All boards to complete this (converted to GPT disk) so I can use all 3 TB of HD?   Now, I re installed windows 7 on my other drive.

    Any advice on how to convert to GPT disk without deleting the system reserved partition?

    Thank you all... Finally figure it out.  Just in case where any who need it going forward... and

    That's what I did

    Step 1.  start by using the windows installation disc 7, press SHIFT + F10 when the language pop up page, use the diskpart... command to remove the system reserved partition. and turn off the computer.

    Step 2.  Open the computer case and unplug the 3 TB hd of the motherboard by unplug the SATA her cable.

    Step 3.  Re-install windows 7, turn off the computer when done

    Step 4.  re - connect the 3 TB - DD and closed the case and power on the computer

    Step 5.  Disk management can use GPT disk.

    A lot of work, but finally did.

  • D530 sff - freezes jacquard blocked screen - ideas?

    Hello

    My d530 sff freezes sometimes strange blocked screen - like psychedelic colored chessboard square on a blue background with a pattern. The squares shimmer a bit (which implies some treatment?), but it's totally unrersponsive.  The fault appears randomly and does not seem related to how long the machine has been run, nor his current mission (AFAIK). I can't cause the fault.

    It works under xp pro. I reinstalled xp on a different HARD drive and get the same, making me think it is not software/driver.  I've updated the BIOS, run memtest 86 + and premium 95 for hours and tests of material Inquisator and Ultimate Boot CD. They are all very well, making me think of the basic material is OK.  I considered the embedded video, but I can play movies on a network that is pretty intense...  With the lid, nothing in the area becomes too hot to the touch, although some chips and the plugs should be near 60 degrees celcius.  Radiator CPU fine to the touch.

    It would be easy to give up and say it's a weird mother board failure, but before I do any ideas?  The software matches the machine has more value than the box so I would rather not throw.

    Thanks for your ideas, Mike

    I extracted the zip file to install the Intel 14.16 package and installed manually from the Device Manager. Package Intel 14.17 absolutely did not work on every box of d530. This is the root of the problem which I faced instability.

    You can identify the controller by checking the properties of devices in the Devices.Look system for x or exclamation next to the drivers points, or if you see instances of "unknown device".

    SisoftSandra Lite will also identify the devices installed in the hardware section.

    As far as bad capacitors going that visually close should be enough. Search for leakages, bulging, distortion, a brown substance on or near the caps.

    So... in your systray, you see an icon of Intel graphics? That's what you should see if the graphic driver went well.

  • Problems with video previews: Picture freezes during purification (CS6)

    I just installed CS6 on my computer after working with CS5.5 and I met a strange problem with my EOS5D Mk 2 and also Ixus 100IS images in Bridge CS6 (in fact, this happens with all videos).

    In CS5.5, I could get a glimpse of my mov files and rub through them without many problems (apart from occasional, but good crash... )

    In CS6 now the preview of the video starts and everything seems fine, until I have rub to a point later in the video. At this point, the video freezes but the sound continues. The only way to make the video running again is to click pause and then click play again. You can imagine that rub through videos is not fun...

    Someone at - it already had a problem like this with CS6?

    Since CS5.5 is always installed, I checked and found that in CS5.5 bridge everything still works fine: no video freezes it - only in CS6

    I've already updated the latest graphics card driver and all updates cs6. Does anyone have an idea what I could do?

    some stats on my computer:

    Win7 64 bit

    NVIDIA geforce GTX 590, pilot 301.42

    no other video software installed

    Aside from that, I also realized that the video quality in the preview area is not particularly brilliant (in CS5.5 or CS6). Because the video is proportional to the size of the preview window, I sometimes get artifacts/moirees scale. Is there a way to smooth video playback, as you would in a regular video player?

    Yes, this is a known bug.  I found it in beta, Adobe has confirmed, and they should have a fix on the next dot (hopefully) release.

  • I keep trying to find ways to update all my drivers at a time, as many problems with this computer

    Here is a list of what specifically is messed up. I don't want to spe backspace to show what I mean.

    I type really fast and never skip a key. Howeer, the computer ignores the keys as in the words "SPE" and "howeer" I typed jut. Now it's "jut" instead of "right".

    So, there is a problem that should not be happenng.

    Secondly, I play some games including the [scroll] scrolling bar on the frame-inmousepad does not work, period. 2011-2012 release, so it's something I can't fix on mymouse of course. I tried fixing it, and he says he successfully fixed wa. LOL no, it wasn't, it's just * ed even more.

    Hi Rachel,

    I understand that when you try to connect to the Internet, you get error "Windows cannot communicate with the device or resource (primary DNS server)", what other issues you are faced with Windows?

    • Using a cable or a wireless Internet connection?

    DNS (Domain Name System) translates the URL in IP (Internet Protocol) addresses (and vice versa). For example, if you type http://www.microsoft.com into the address bar in your web browser, your computer sends a request to a DNS server. The DNS server translates the URL to an IP address so that your computer can find the Microsoft web server.

  • Too many problems with the latest version of Lightroom

    Hi all

    I have too many problems with the latest version of Lightroom (CC 2015.2.1 1046594)

    in this way they create me a lot fo iusses...

    I use the English version of the PS and LR, but they made me reinstall the Italian version of CC because it has been blocked

    the result was that CC does not recognize software, due to a different language version

    so, I contacted again Adobe Customer Care... they said "no problem, uninstall LR, delete these files and install this...

    I did and I let go 2 years to develop the parameters on the correction of the colors for my clients because they told me to remove a folder, I need!

    so, I ask you now if there is a way to return to a previous version of lightroom, any previous version...

    I never found better performance in more recent versions...

    I've always found, performance slower, more problems...

  • Problems with different e-mail addresses and the different Apple ID

    Hi, I have some problems with the different Apple ID and e-mail addresses connected to them, and I hope someone can help me in what to do.

    First a primer on my Apple ID

    ***@me.com - it's my account General iCloud (backup, iMessage, Facetime etc.).

    ***@losmail.no - my iTunes/App account (purchase and download music, app, etc..)

    ***@me.com: I have no problem connecting to this account (appleid.apple.com, iCloud.com etc etc..)

    ***@losmail.no: I have no problem connecting to this account in iTunes/App Store. However, I can not connect on appleid.apple.com with this account because he asked me to check the email address. However, this e-mail address use a messaging service that doesn't work anymore, so I can't check it out. Because it is a private messaging service, I want to change the Apple ID on my account @gmail.com.

    I believe, however, that the account @gmail.com has been connected to the account @losmail.no because I received my shopping etc. of my account @losmail.no sent to ***@gmail.com. These recipes also "Apple ID: * @gmail.com. When I connect to the account, however, use ***@losmail.no. However, an I said, I want to log on by using ***@gmail.com.

    What is strange is that in iTunes / App Store, I can connect with ***@gmail.com. However, this is not the same account as ***@losmail.noand previous purchases / comments etc. are not available. It's strange because said revenues (Ref. above).

    An other ting that indicates that the Apple ID where I use ***@losmail.no once was connected to ***@gmail.com, is what happens when I try to log in to ***@gmail.com to appleid.apple.com. Then, I get a message saying that the e-mail address must be verified. I can write the code sent to the ***@gmaiI.com, but it is said then that this e-mail address is already is used by another Apple ID, so it cannot be verified.

    So I guess my question is, basically, how I can change the ID of the ***@losmail.no to ***@gmail.com Apple when I can't access the account losmail, but the appleid.apple.com tells me that I need to check this email address.

    Best regards

    Philippe

    Hi phillla,

    Thanks for all the details with your accounts.

    Can be difficult to have more than one Apple with several e-mails all mixed together.  If an email is used with another Apple ID, for example, that e-mail can be used to create a new Apple ID or rename an old.

    The analysis of what you seem to have however...

    Your purchases are with your *@losmail.no Apple ID, but the emails for this go to your *@gmail.com email address.

    *@gmail.com is the primary e-mail address for your Apple ID *@losmail.no.

    You can connect to iTunes or manage your page ID with *@gmail.com Apple says it's an Apple ID on its own.  As an email address can only be verified for an Apple ID, which means that he must check with your *@losmail.no Apple ID and cannot be verified with *@gmail.com.

    You say you can not connect on appleid.apple.com with *@losmail.no you will need to check the email address.  You have a relief attached to this ID e-mail? This is the email that would be used to recover.   You receive your check or reset email - Apple Support

    Bottom line, you want to change your primary Apple ID but outdated to *@losmail.no to *@gmail.com, you must first rename *@gmail.com to something else and delete this email of all codes from Apple as well.  Then follow the link above to get access to *@losmail.no and control so that you can rename it.

    Best regards.
