  Waiting for answers

  What form factor 990 you: Tower, office, small or ultra compact?

  You have 8 GB of RAM installed but only a 32 bit OS which can only use ~3.2-3.5 GB of RAM.  How is what would have happened?

  How useless junk is running in the background?

  RAM max for small office, Tower, is 16 GB, DDR3-1600

  Max RAM for ultra-small is 8 GB DDR3-1600

  This system should be compatible with 64-bit Windows 7 and Dell offers drivers for Win 7/64-bit.

  According to you what form factor Crucial.com offers a 1 t SSD, but it's expensive.

  The first thing to do would be to install Win 7/64-bit, because who can use all the RAM that is currently installed and see if this improves performance before anything else...

• OptiPlex 990 HECI driver

  Hi all

  I do a manual reinstall of windows 7 64 pro on a mini-tower OptiPlex 990. Its just cleaners for SSD. I download all recommendations installation drivers for the 990 in good condition, such as identified in the url below:

  http://www.Dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN151682/en

  I'm a little confused on the Intel HECI driver. If I go to the page software and downloads for the 990 based on the service tag there is no Intel HECI driver. I guess that the replacement is the interface for unified management of the Intel driver?

  

  Do the R291933 of INTEL CHIPSET driver first, then do 2 may 2013 driver AMT HECI GROUND.

• The yellow light OptiPlex 990 / 2,3,4

  I have a two Optiplex 990 who stopped to boot the system. They light... fans spin up the DVD player turns... but then Diagnostics lights 2,3,4 and show the power button turns orange instead of green.

  The system then just guard road and stop with the constantly diagnostic lights.

  I tried to remove the HD, CD drive, graphics card, CMOS, both fans. None seem to solve the problem. On one of the two, I replaced the motherboard. That did not help also.

  I have also reset the memory on units

  Grateful for any help!

  I have the same problem with dell optiplex SFF 990... There was also a previous optiplex 790 with the same problem, but the two, I was able to fix... I opened the power supply and discovered curved 2 capacitors (2200uF 10V) and replaced both.  Now the two systems work well.  It of a cheap cap and should be replaced with the quality of those like nichicons, etc...

  It might be possible to also find caps curved on the card mother esp on the area of heat sink.

  If you are not technical then, go to an electronics store and have your powersupply be summarized / renovated... Note: before you fix it myself i tried the built-in self test for the power supply (press small black button located on the back) and he said the PSU is good and also I measured the voltages of each individual output (5V, 12V, 3.3V) and all gave good reads but you cannot be sure because there is still no load.  So as I suspected I opened the power supply and discovered the bulging caps / leaks...

  Hope this will help you all.

• OptiPlex 990 lack pilot SMBUS?

  I have an Optiplex 990 I formatted and used the disc from Dell Windows 7 Pro x 64 to reinstall Windows. After loading all the drivers (chipset was the first) Device Manager displays still no driver for the controller, SMBUS, ideas?

  jdshatswell

  Thanks 'Kopfl23' for your reply on April 2, 2012 08:14

  This solved my problem.   I don't understand why this driver is not listed under the drivers for my Optiplex 990?

  Support of Dell, if you're following this blog, please post this pilot for others.

  Thank you

  SMBus is part of the Intel chipset driver. It is not a stand-alone, so it can be validated separately. You must install the chipset set driver to get all of its component software, including SMBus.

• OptiPlex 990 DT USB speed

  Hello

  I was wondering if I could know if the USB 2.0 ports on the Optiplex 990 DT are high speed (480 Mbps) or full speed (12 Mbps). I see in the manual that is the USB port 19-in-1 media card reader 480 Mbps, but I see no specifications for USB ports.

  Thank you

  The Dell OEM Intel Q67 Express chipset supports USB 2.0 up to 480 Mbit/s ports.

• Are OptiPlex 990 PCIe connectors, 2.0?

  The specs say it sre 2 PCIe x 16 slots and 1 PCIe x 1.  Can I install a PCIe 2.0 video card?

  http://www.Dell.com/downloads/global/products/Optix/en/OptiPlex-990-tech-guide.PDF

  Intel Q67 Express Chipset PCI - E 2.0 offers up to 5 GT/s bus bandwidth.

  PCI - E Versions and bandwidth

  version 1.x (2.5 GT/s):
  250 MB/s (× 1).
  4 Gbps (x 16)

  v2.x (5 GT/s):
  500 MB/s (× 1).
  8 GB/s (16 x)

  v3.x (8 GT/s):
  985 MB/s (× 1).
  15.75 Gbps (x 16)

  v4.0 (16 GT/s):
  1969 MB/s (× 1).
  31.51 Gbps (x 16)

  PCI-E Versions aka 1.0 2.0 2.1 3.0 have nothing to do with X 1 X 4 X 8 X 16. The problems come with 2.1 and 3.0 TWO WAYS. Most Dells also only as VIDEO CARDS in X 16 slots. AKA storage controller (RAID cards) and (sound cards) etc will not work in the video slot machine.

  Old cards pci-e 1.0 and 2.0 are NOT FAST ENOUGH for bus PCI-E 3.0 and many NEW Dell systems only WILL NOT SOUS-CADENCER the bus speed PCI-E 1.0 or 2.0.  1.0 and 2.0 does NOT refer to X 1 or X 2.

  This means usually newer cards work in older systems, but Older cards are not yet "seen" as being connected when moved to a bus 2.1 or 3.0.

  The power to PCI-E 2.1 and 3.0 profile is SUPERIOR to 1.0 and 2.0 if some new video cards DO NOT POST in older machines of bus.

  This is also compounded by based incompatibility with UEFI cards that DO NOT SUPPORT VESA of back and thus configuration CMOS F2 video modes does not work.   I have a problem with the radeon Sapphire R Series cards where the series Radeon HD aka 5450 6450 6650 7750 worked well the 250 R7 and R7 260 cards tell BACK VESA MODE 103 is NOT supported and refuses to F2 CMOS Setup.

• Mini-Tower OptiPlex 990 - dedicated video RAM?

  Hi all. I recently bought a refurbished Dell Optiplex 990 MT, and I tried to increase the dedicated video RAM. It is currently set at 64 MB, and it's way, WAY too low. It has 8 GB of RAM in it, and I thought I could juice upward without falling another 200-300 dollars for a discrete GPU.

  I visited most sites say that there is an option in the BIOS, but I have no luck. I upgraded to the latest firmware (A19), but nothing. Did I just waste my money buying this thing?

  You have the latest Intel Chipset and Intel Graphics drivers? Go to the Intel download site and that his assistant scan your system for the appropriate drivers.

  Most likely, you cannot increase the amount of RAM dedicated to video, and I only see the option listed in the BIOS according to the service Manual.

  Video expansion card must not be very expensive so that even than a "plain vanilla" card could increase performance.

• Q: can you Optiplex 990 (with i7-2600 and 265W PSU) run a 750Ti?

  Dear people,

  Recently, I bought a refurbished DELL Optiplex 990 with 8 GB of RAM and i7-2600 and I am very satisfied with this system, but I would like to run some games on high (ish) definitions.

  That is why I want to upgrade the system with a GTX 750 Ti graphics card (for example: Asus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti STRIX).

  My question is:
  can the original systems 265W PSUS provide enough power for the upgrade? Or should I upgrade the PSU as well to have a stable operation?

  These 750Ti are originally designed for low current systems (they won't be able to take the PCI-e slot - max 75W - and have NO auxiliary pins). The Optiplex s 990 can be delivered with an ATI graphics card (with a circulation of ~ 68W of PCI - e), moreover specifications document 990 States that the PCI-e slot on the motherboard is evaluated with standard 75W.

  On the other hand, I think that this upgrade can really stretch the limits of the system, add more hard drives / RAM and/or insert some USB devices and the power supply isn't able to take it.

  Model: Optiplex 990
  PSU: dell d3d1c
  Power supply: 230 VAC
  PC: i7-2600, 2 DIMM DDR3 RAM (8GB total), 1 HDD (500 GB)

  While slowed the machine display but play games the machine will restart and crashed due to demands for more power that the unit can provide.  Standard CS750M of Corsair adapts well to the minitower.

  There is no upgrade for the smaller models.  I don't think Booster 450W power units no longer exist that fit into the optical drive Bay 5.25 inches.

• Dell optiplex 990 SSF video / graphics upgrade

  I have a dell optiplex 990 ssf with a processor i5, 4 GB ram and 240w psu, my aunt made me for the school this year.  It is perfect to write the Lord's prayer and surf, but I also like to play video games.  I'm sure that the integrated graphics card is not much for games.   As I searched the forums here, I came across a factor of this card as mother to a 25w to the potential limiting pci-e slot limit.  This motherboard has only 2 16 x slots pci-e size and nothing more.  The documentation is clearly what motherboards of the 990 series optiplex has this limitation and that integrated video system is included.  Could you please help me as to what video cards I can use in this testbed?

  Currently my 2 considerations are:

  Radeon HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 128 bit PCI Express 2.1 x 16 HDCP Ready Low Profile

  or

  Radeon HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5 128 bit PCI Express 3.0 x 16 HDCP Ready

  Both are low-power and low footprint.

  I'm not on overclocking anything just to use this system for the games moderate occasionally.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Hi, personally, I have a Dell Optiplex SFF 990, the upgrade you are looking for is the Sapphire 7750 Single Slot low-profile. It performs much better and draws less power (7750 55W 6670 TDP 68W TDP) compared to the 6670.

  Beachmark 6670 and 7750 - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7770-7750-benchmark, 3135.html

  To add on, there is another additional advantage to free other 16 X (4-Wired) expansion card 1 X Pcie 4 Port Usb 3.0 PCIe slot.

  All the less is the configuration that I use and it's perfect for my use.

  I hope that helps!

• OptiPlex 990 no boot after BIOS flash

  I have an OptiPlex 990 that several problems after a power surge, so I replaced the power supply, motherboard and installed a new hard drive. Once I had everything back together, I booted the system and tried to upgrade to the latest version of the BIOS, A19.

  The guest said that he would replace X 17 with A19.  During this process, an error prompted me A05 must be installed first. I have done this and received a "Bios Update Successful" message. but the PC does not restart. After having playing with removal of the cards it is not POST, just restarts a few times then crashes. I can get it to start by clearing the CMOS by removing the battery, but once I leave the configuration or trying to run diagnostics or boot from a disk of BONE, the machine just restarts and crashes with the numbers 2, 3 and 4 illuminated by a blue LED power.

  Any ideas as to what I can try running to call it dead as well and get an another motherboard?

  Thank you

  Dell made revisions of boards for the same model, if the parts are no longer available, if they find or fix a problem, etc. Dell will only know for sure the real differences between these two boards.

  Have you checked your USB devices?

  What happens if you start from a bootable CD/DVD as your Windows Dell reinstall drive?

  The replacement card came with a guarantee? You could go back to the seller and ask for a replacement or a refund...

• Adapted from food for a Radeon Graphics Card (for Dell Optiplex 990) 6450

  Hello

  I would like to install a graphic card Radeon 6450 in my computer Dell Optiplex 990. I already spent a considerable amount of time and money, the upgrade of the PC. However, the power supply plays in my mind a bit and in regard to the graphics card, I ordered for her and the form factor PC that seems to be a form factor small when I get my service in the site tag code, I want to make sure that I have made the right choice of first time.

  My system is attached (a 1st) as well as specific photographs of power supply and graphics card.

  I was told that I must really be consider a 400 Watt one. Furthermore. I understand that it's difficult to say without physically seeing the piece in question, but is there a standard size wise size that will fit in my case?

  If you need more details, please let me know.

  Thank you very much

  Steve

  Above is current spec system.

  Here are pictures of my current diet which I don't put everything (includes connectors - can you tell these if mine is ATX or the type that must be taken into account?):

  

  

  

  

  

  

  The graphics (Radeon 6450) which I have bought too soon! ( :| ) :

  

  One of more to come. Also, I think I have the right PCI port on the motherboard. Who is the answer, please be able to confirm if you certainly know I wish it is my board or send me a photo of one. (It is that with the kind of clip on the end of it, the long version thing)? -Sorry for my terminology!

  I would say your 709MT 240W power is very good for a 6450 which uses DDR3.  Not all current Dells use EPS12v ATX power supplies. You have only 2 slots and the card must be discreet.

• Copied Factory.wim deployment on multiple machines of the same model (Optiplex 990)

  Hi all

  I have Optiplex 990 3 machines with hardware identical configs. Two of the machines had their recovery partitions crushed over the last re - install Windows. However, one of the machines has the recovery intact with the Factory.wim partition.

  I was going to copy the Factory.wim of this machine to a bootable USB key and use a wim file to restore the other two with new hard disks. Could their be a problem this other that maybe change machines restored to use the license windows for this machine? Could their be any problem of SID it?

  Hi Bryguy21,

  There is no licensing problem with what you want to do as far as Windows is the same flavor on each of them.

  Hi SAIDBAJRY,

  Thanks for joining Dell Community Forum.

  If the SSD is purchased through Dell and installed in the system and all the problems occurs because of the SSD, then yes the warranty will be covered (Note: SSDS will have a separate guarantee and not be covered by the warranty of the system).

  Now if the SSD is bought from a retailer or dealer, so all the problems that occur due to this component or any problem with the SSD is not covered by warranty.

  Lean towards us by private message, with the serial number of the system with your email ID, if you have more questions.
