• Dell XPS 420 with Vista Home Premium, replaced the hard drive, download now blue screen errors

  My girlfriend has a desktop Dell XPS 420 quit working a year or 2 ago. A computer technician told me that it sounded as if the hard drive was bad, recently I purchased from Dell, a Seagate 1 TB hard drive (the original is a Western Digital 320 GB).

  I bought also, once again from Dell, a copy of its installation discs for Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

  I installed the new hard drive, correctly, as far as I can tell, but I tried several times over the past days to install Vista and a few times I got errors (BSoD) STOP and a few other times, Windows Installer errors.

  What's wrong?

  I run Dell diagnostics that took almost a whole day, but I don't think anything. I have not partitioned the hard drive, it's like 931 GB.

  I think that may be something related to the RAM, but I'm not sure.

  Thanks for any help.

• Can I download drivers for Dell XPS 420 girl (windows xp) on my computer (Dell Studio 17 Windows 7) on a cd instead of install on my computer?

  I done a clean install on Dell XPS 420 after a crash.  Windows XP works fine, but it continues to ask that drivers can be installed before I can get on my internet which is At & T DSL with external modem.  When I try to go on the internet, it gives me the error of pilots.  I had what I thought, it was the disk drivers that came with the computer, but when I installed and then it is still asking for the correct drivers.  I called At & t for their support and they said I needed drivers.  That's why I came to Microsoft to download the drivers on my Dell Studio 17 on a cd, so I can load them onto the computer Dell XPS 420.  I was afraid to install on my computer because my Windows 7 running.

  I don't know if I can load my Windows 7 and its drivers on the dell Xps 420.  It was a solution, I thought, but I'm not that computer from common sense to see if that might spoil the Dell XPS 420.   Any help would be appreciated.

  Using another computer, go to the Dell support website and search the Windows XP drivers for your specific model number. Using your Dell's Service tag number is the fastest way to get the correct drivers.
  http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=Gen

  If there is then Windows XP Download drivers into a folder (with subfolders named "Chipset", "LAN", "Audio", etc) on your hard drive and burn all files on a CD driver.

  Then, insert the CD into the computer XPS 420 and install all of the driver files, starting with the mother/chipset, SATA, Firewire card drivers (1394), LAN, Audio, etc, and so on.

  For the problems of graphics card check download site of the manufacture of the graphics card for the latest Windows 7 drivers for your card.

• Backup impossible - Vista Ultimate, Dell XPS 420, WD 320 external (eSATA) drive - error 0 x 81000006 and 0 x 81000014

  Hello, I've had this problem for some time now, and it's very frustrating.  I can't save the disk correctly - there have been times that I've been able to do a full backup, but subsequent backups then failed, and other times, I can't yet do a full backup.

  I have a DELL XPS 420 PC, running Vista Ultimate.  I also have a 320 GB Western Digital external hard drive connected via eSATA.

  I had problems with backup from the beginning.  Previous suggestions have been to ensure that the drive is formatted in NTFS (it is) and to make sure that I am able to see the drive from the computer and access (I can).

  I got two different types of error messages:

  ================================
  Error message:

  The backup location cannot be found or is not valid. Check your backup settings and check your hardware configuration. (0 x 81000006)

  Backup time: 12-09-2009 01:05

  The backup location: My Book (z :))

  Error message:
  
  There is not enough space on your Windows drive to prepare for the backup of your files. At least 400 MB of free space is required to continue. (0 x 81000014)

  Backup time: 05/01/2010 18:38
  The backup location: My Book (z :))

  [Start over] [Settings] [Close]

  ==============================

  What could be the problem? What I might try?  Please let me know if I can provide any other information that might help.

  THANKS IN ADVANCE!

  Hey, Ronna,.

  Sorry I didn't saw this post earlier - I hope you were able to solve your problem.

  Here's what I figured out around miner (on mine - after hours and hours of research):

  The message 'no space' was more a message "no memory" for me - I understand that if I have a large number of open programs, that is causing the error.

  The other mistake, I was getting, it was simply that the external HD had stopped spinning - now, whenever it says backup failed because he could not find the hard drive I press the power button on the back of the drive (I have a MyBook Western Digital external hard drive 320), run it, and then it works fine.

  I hope this helps someone else.

• Graphics card does not not on Dell XPS 420

  Hello

  Recently, a problem has arisen. My graphics card has given me some very strange situations, when I run a game (in this case, Medal of Honor Airborne) the color palette goes nuts and everything pink and green and the tris. Now, if it wont start even upward normally, it looks almost exactly like this picture I found on the web (the picture is below. mine alternated between points and lines). Still I can't understand what is wrong with it. My Dell XPS 420 also works very well with my other card which I believe is the AMD Radeon 2400 pro. The card is the Nvidia GeForce 8600 Gts.

  Any help would be appreciated thanks -Microvolt

  

  Both the 8600 GTS and HD 2400 Pro are old cards so that they may or may not last forever.  The 8600 GTS is a best performance card, so I can understand that want to use it against the HD 2400 Pro.  You can try to uninstall and reinstall a new driver for it in case it is damaged.  If this does not work, it can only have gone wrong for a new purchase would be in order, unless you can live with the AMD card.  There will be a range of cards video today that would be better than the 8600 GTS and they cost no more.  HD 6570, HD 6670 or the TG 640 would all consider inexpensive cards.

• How to connect an external monitor to a new Dell XPS 13?

  We had two new Dell XPS 13 for users and there seems not to be any video ports as on previous models.  It runs Windows 10 Professional and has a resolution of the internal display of 1920 x 1080.  Looks like there are 2 super speed USB 3.0 ports and possibly a (thunderbolt)? the port?

  I've heard of USB - C, so I don't know if it's that this port a port on the left side, or if his crush.  I googled thunderbolt to hdmi adapter and all the images that I find it always shows a port mini display on one end despite descriptions saying Thunderbolt.

  So what is the best way to get HDMI out on this laptop?

  I just bought an XPS 2016 13 9350 and now know that the only way to connect no matter what monitor what so ever needs a dell docking station or an adapter.  IT HAS NO CABLE THAT CAN BE USED ONLY TO CONNECT THIS LAPTOP TO A MONITOR.

  I am working in three offices and the adapter, I had lasted 2 weeks before burning and it was the second.  20% of the forum posters have the same problem using a doc $200 now.  It is $600 for 3 offices, I have been working in if I don't want to carry a doc that is heavier than the laptop!

  Who, in their right mind to product management Dell would do a lightweight laptop that had no option to connect a monitor with just a cable.  Why they could not also include a DP or HDMI port or stay until there was a cable is nuts.  It STINKS for us but ideal for Dell they can now sell docs a lot more than ever before.

  I asked to return the laptop and get a surface or a lenovo and our IT group is frantically looking at them with more new employees coming on board. No cases were going docs $ 200 dozen. We have been dedicated company dell, but not anymore.

• Resolution issues of image (redirect) on my new DELL XPS 13 (2015)

  I just bought my new DELL XPS 13 inch 2015 model Corei7, touch screen version.  As soon as I came to explore, I noticed that the fonts are super sharp and high resolution, which is great, however, images/logos of websites such as facebook, cnet, and many others is a bit blurry and pixelated. Why is this the case? I have a pro apple mac book and all the images load perfectly here.

  What could be the problem and is it possible that I can find a solution or this?

• How can I install my printer model Dell 720 on my new Dell XPS 8500 with windows 7

  I have the software for my Dell 720 printer, but it will not install on my new Dell XPS 8500 with windows 7.  It works fine on my Dell Dimension 3000 with windows XP.  I would use this printer with my new system

  Dell is not a Windows 7 driver for this printer.  The closest thing they have is a driver for Vista 32 bit.  So your options are to (1) Download 32-bit Vista driver and try to install in compatibility mode, (2) use XP Mode if you have the professional or Enterprise version of Windows 7 Ultimate, (3) buy another printer.

  You can download the Vista 32-bit driver

• Load the new Dell XPS 13 9350 via thunderbold usb - c

  Recently bought the new Dell XPS 13 9350, 1080 p with the i5 processor version and I would like to know how to load the xps 13 via usb - c port sight.

  Which cable I'm able to use? I would like to use a male USB - A to USB - C cable to recharge the laptop using usb Sockets aircraft.

  Tracked down the answer:

  It does not simply with phone chargers. He needs Chargers portable a higher voltage. You cannot use cable USB A-To-C to load (unless you have a defective cable seriously, which can damage the charger). You cannot use the Nexus 5 X, 6 p or OnePlus Chargers.

  12-9250 Chromebook Pixel 2 and XPS (and perhaps a few other upcoming 2016 Dell systems) include a USB - C charger that works with the XPS 13 and 15. Chromebook Pixel charger is a wall wart, unlike most chargers for laptop with a brick in the middle.

  Buy a compatible USB - C charger costs as well buy a normal replacement Dell laptop computer charger, so it is honestly not much unless you want to use it on other USB - C devices (whether now or in the future). The Pixel charger can also with phones, but I don't know if the XPS - C USB charger can also.

  You'll also USB - C load with docks. Any USB docking station - C and any wharf 3 Thunderbolt should work with it. Dell has wo of them towards the end of the month of January each offers multiple output video, USB - A, Ethernet, audio ports and in charge. Plugable and some other manufacturers some too.

• New Dell XPS 8900 will not find any Bluetooth devices

  I have a new office of 8900 Del XPS who search but never find my bluetooth devices. Seems very well in Manager devices, but just keep looking. Did not work out of the box.  10 preinstalled, Windows

  Any ideas, driver issues?

  I solved - updated the driver in Device Manager and it immediately starts to work. So, just because it is new out of the box, does not make perfect!

• Dell XPS 420 not go, bright, flashing orange light orange on the motherboard, flashing green light behind USB on motherboard

  I am running Windows 7 on my XPS 420, I had updated the power supply two years back and installed extra ram and an SSD, a few months ago.

  I quit the PC last night, normally

  This morning, it is not booting, the light was blinking orange, including the connected mouse was blinking also.

  I decided to open it and check all connections; everything went well on the inside.  Before you open the PC, I unplugged all the extras connected like mouse, etc.

  The computer has actually started up normally and when I plugged the monitor it looked ordinary, he had reached the Windows login screen.

  HOWEVER, when I plugged the first rear USB component, the computer off and started to blink.

  I'm not sure what the problem is here.  My motherboard is fried?  I don't think it's the power supply from the computer DID resume after I noticed the blinking yellow light.  I wonder if the flashing of the earlier mouse and/or the flashing green on the back (inside the PC) of USB port average something else.

  Any advice is greatly appreciated

  First check that all the cables for power and data are correctly connected, including the cables on the front panel.

  No difference and if you're comfortable working around computers, you can try the following:

  Note: The only 100% POWER supply test method, is to install a known working power.

  Unplug the power cord, hold the power button in for about 15-20 seconds, open the case, disconnect the power connector 24-pin motherboard and jumping the Green wire to one of the black wires, plug in the power cord and the power of the system, if the PSU, case fans and disk hard drive performance then the power supply can be good.

  Note: Do not remove the wires from the plug, use a small piece of wire or a paper clip as a rider.

  Extract supply and the system still does not work, yet once remove the power cord, hold button power in a few seconds to discharge residual power, reconnect the connector 24 pin to the motherboard.

  Remove any PCI video card [as appropriate], memory cards, all the devices, unplug data cables and power to all readers, check that the cable from the front panel is connected to the motherboard, without anything else connected to the system, reconnect the power cable and power the system on.

  If there is no difference in the diagnostic lights, of "Beep" codes and/or the indication of the LED on the power button, it would seem that the motherboard is dead and/or the processor and the only method I know to check a processor is perhaps install a compatible work PC, or use a known job processing.

• Struggling micro does not work. Installed Chipset for Dell Xps 420. Has been upgraded from vista to 7 64-bit

  Whenever I plug a microphone, the microphone taken none appears on the recording tab devices in the sound settings.

  The audio jack works well and worked even without the chipset drivers.

  I tried to download realtek but I get an error that says no drivers supported.

  Hello

  I couldn't find an update for Windows 7 for your computer, which means that Dell has not all drivers for this OS on your computer XPS 420. However, there is a driver that is specific to Vista 64-bit, download here: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/xps-420?driverId=4JDG5&osCode=WV64&fileId=2731098634&languageCode=EN&categoryId=AU .

  Another option to consider is to update your video driver to the latest version, download here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-320.18-whql-driver.html (it was released on 23 May). I suggest as an alternative as video drivers often include audio drivers as well.

  Those are the two pilots who appear to be more likely to adapt to your system, and if one or the other does not work you can restore the driver using the dialog of properties as follows:

  1. Go to control panel and click Device Manager.
  2. When that opens, click sound, video and game controllers.
  3. Select the audio driver / video, you have downloaded and installed.
  4. Right-click on the device and select Properties.
  5. When this window opens, go to the tab (on the top row) driver.
  6. Click the Driver Rollback button and left-click on it.
  7. Let Windows reinstall the older driver.
  8. Restart your computer.

  If all goes well, one of these fixes will take care of the problem. Keep me posted.

  Kind regards

• Run Wdws7 pro on two new Dell XPS. I back up all my data on my ACER Aspire server.

  I back up all my data on my ACER Aspire server. The new Dells with Wdws 7 pro will not find the server. He will find the server to backup everything, but when it came time to recover the material it will not find the server. I also have a backup server with 11 Wdws, there will be the Acer server, so there must be something with the Dell printer, or a combination of software and laptop computer.
  I have this problem since the purchase of new laptops. My old XPS, never had any problem using Wdws XP. This problem is unique, for either, no one wants to venture a solution, or Dell or Microsoft have a small problem, nobody has met him.
