• Dell XPS 8300 Motherboard case Compatability

  The Dell XPS 8300 motherboard is compatible with ATX, or Mini ATX case? Yes I'm sure it will void any warranty, none that doesn't bother me, but I need a new case that is not so cramped and room to run additional modding.

  
  

• Update for Dell XPS 8300

  Will be the 02 G-P4-2663-KR of EVGA Geforce GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 2 GB GDDR5 192 bits PCI-E 3.0 x 16 HDCP and the Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus RS-550-PCAR-E3 550w ATX12V V2.3 power supply work in my computer Dell XPS 8300. I ordered end of March 2012 and he received mid April 2012.

  Hi FuzzyTrex,

  Dell XPS 8300 comes with Intel H67 Chipset and a PCI Express x 16 card reader for the expansion of video card options. Dell has tested XPS 8300 with the following video cards:

  • ATI Radeon HD 5450 5670 5770 5870 6670 6770 6870 6950
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 GTX 460 GTX560Ti GT545 GT420

  However, Dell has not tested 660 GTX video card with XPS 8300, many users have reported he will be working and compatible with the system.

  EVGA GTX 660 requires a minimum of 450W power supply and has a maximum circulation of power of 140W. As you said that you would improve the power of 550W, the video card should work with this configuration.

  For installation/replacement of the video card, you can view XPS 8300 repair here.

  Note: Make sure that you follow the instructions in the manual before installing the video card.

  I hope this helps.

• Dell XPS 8300 GPU issues

  I had a Dell XPS 8300 since 2011.

  The specifications are:

  Image Intel i7-2600 3.4ghz processor

  460W POWER supply

  8 GB RAM

  Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 5670 1 GB GDDR5

  My problem is that my video card is dead after 4 years and I need a replacement as good, or better, for less than $100. At first, I thought it was easy. Ordered a GT 730, a card nice entrance a little better than the 5670 range and more efficient power and he went through the installation process. The AMD drivers, uninstalled, change video card and it fits perfectly. The problem is that I just get a black screen on startup or, sometimes, the Dell splash screen.

  After hours of research I discovered that this won't work because the motherboard, 0y2mrg and it's bios, A06, are incompatible with the new GPU. Seriously? Rarely have I never heard of this problem. The last update is in 2011, the same year that I got this PC when it was new. What the hell with the lack of support?

  Whether it is, I'll find something which is compatible, but unnecessarily difficult. Those who have asked the same question to be taken from a few years ago and expired or no response. I've seen the Dell has approved the cards and they are ridiculously overpriced for what they are. The 5670 is a super card low-end and was again released as a back then, but Dell wants to sell for more than $200? If I try to look for it on other sites, like Amazon or Newegg, it is almost impossible to find or too expensive.

  My question is this, what is a good video card that costs more than $100 - $110 that works with the card mother Dell XPS 8300 and requires no other parts to change?

  Yes, I actually. The variant 750 GTX & it worked perfectly. I guess that something more old than they would be too much like GTX 780 if you wanted something strong, but you would probably need a bigger power supply. The GT 720 and 730 WON'T WORK if you wanted a less expensive solution. The GTX 750 TI is perfect as a modest solution however.

• Connection continues deleting Windows 10 Dell XPS 8300

  Hi all

  I have problems with my Dell XPS 8300, I installed the new 10 windows a few weeks back and since the installation of connection to internet keeps falling.

  My internet is with Virgin Media and I connect directly via an Ethernet cable to the router.

  Said my Broadcom Netlink gigabit Ethernet network card

  After doing some research I think my card is called BCM57788

  Thank you

  I'm glad to hear that I am not on my lonesome.

  I did as you did and downloaded the Intel scanner from their site. The only thing he told me was that I need a later version. INF file.

  I also watched the page drivers Dell, which is not up-to-date. Intel reported the update is not listed, but there is a BIOS update, when I try to apply it, saying that it is older than the current version. Not very useful.

  I'd install the Intel update but I'm not sure if it will work. There are a lot of guard, but not much reassure layouts.

  On top of that, Dell does not do anything to see if my machine is able to win 10.

  As usual, Dell are completely behind the curve on this.

• The upgrade of my Dell XPS 8300

  Hello

  Currently, I use my Dell XPS 8300 with set up the following:

  • Intel core i7 - 2600 to 3.4 GHz
  • 8 GB RAM
  • GPU: Radeon HD 5770
  • PSU: 460W (AC460AD-00)

  It has served me well but shows it's age while I was looking to upgrade the graphics card and the power supply if necessary. But this is the first time I did something like this then I'd some tips / warnings on the potential pitfalls before buying something.

  After doing some background reading, I was thinking get a GTX 970 and upgrade the PSU, but I would like to know, questions, I could deal with that. I heard there were problems with XPS 8300 bios don't do not work well with graphics cards. I am currently on AO3, but there is no problem if necessary upgrade.

  My budget is around £400-£500 if anyone knows the best ways to update my PC.

  Thank you.

  Consider using this for now until you can buy new. Spending that much on unnecessary updates are not handy on a computer that is a few years old. You have a good installation now - 8 GB of ram, big power, i7 cpu that is best for your motherboard - as long as everything works. New computers can easily be purchased for what your budget allows for upgrades. The only thing to consider is a video card a little better that your power supply will take place as well as better control that you can use when you get a new computer. Ignore the upgrade of processor since that is not worth the expense or effort for minimal returns. You most likely impossible to switch the cpu to a newer version without replacing the motherboard. I would make sure to have the latest and probably last - bios A06.

• Change of motherboard Dell XPS 8300

  Hello

  I have a Dell XPS 8300 since 2011. Unfortunately, my printer ruined my motherboard with an electric shock. I put another card mother microATX in my PC? I've heard that some people had problems with Windows 7, it works with the card mother Dell OEM, but other wise I heard that it is only in the USA, a problem, because we in Austria have other laws. If it works, the old RAM will work with the new motherboard?

  Printers give electric shocks.  This is probably a power surge which fried the Mo and probably other hardware in the computer. Dell computers have motherboards owners so you would need a new Board from dell. It would be a waste of money to buy anything until you determine the extent of the damage. All the ram, processor, pci cards, etc. could also be goners. Best bet is to buy a new computer. Buy a computer for your new UPS battery backup unit.
  

• 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.

• Update the video card in Dell XPS 8300

  I have the Dell xps 8300 Intel core i7-2600 processor 3.40 GHz AMD Radeon 6670.I graphics card would like to move my PSU and graphics card. I would like to know my high-end video card. I think on gtx 970. It works with my pc

  Maybe not. There seems to be some compatibility issues with Nvidia.

  A Radeon 7950 and corsair CS850M would be perhaps in order.

• 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?

• My Dell XPS 8300 hard drive fails? Intel Rapid Storage detects the error when starting upwards.

  My computer (dell xps 8300) has recently frozen and when it restarts it scored one of my RAID 0 hard drives as being a mistake. Surprisingly, my computer still works as always and after an investigation, I traced the gel to vuze trying to check a file after he was already down. I deleted the files causing the freeze and have not yet encountered any more freezing problems. But I'm still very worried, so I ran a disk check, who quickly said the disc is clean, and I also ran tests HD (Long & short) dell support center several times and they always say that readers are working properly. Today, I ran a checkdisk windows another who had a lot more time but seem to come clean. But to restart the computer disk was marked later once again as being a mistake. So I ran the tests of short and long and difficult road dell support center, once again, and the sound still saying everything is working properly. I then decided to try to start some other diagnostics of hard disk: seagate seatools and rescuer of Western Digital. The player has passed the tests of the Seatool, but almost immediately failed the tests of rescuer WD giving the error that there are too many bad sectors. Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated!

  Lack of an operating system is the message you get when in fact there is a properly peripheral storage seen by your BIOS, but it is not a valid partition with a valid boot sector table.

  I fear that you may have installed the operating system on a RAID-0 configuration and only now try to start from one half of the band?  Yes, you can WD 500 GB RAID-0 an and a 1 TB Seagate together.  It would be foolish (same capacity as a single player, but all the falls of RAID-0) but the computer doesn't know any better.

  The RAID configuration (breaking apart the RAID) must arrive before the installation of the o/s.  The RAID/mobo card is one of the early stages of the process, he takes these 2 physical disks and mounted as a storage to the motherboard, allowing it to boot from it etc.

  No matter what is happening currently, my advice would be to remove the RAID from the system discs.  You don't want a broken drive / failure connected, even if you do not use it because the computer will continue to warn / complain the RAID broke, the startup BIOS will be keep showing you a disc is seen mistakes SMART, and finally the failed drive can degrade to the point it actually damage something.

• 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

• New Dell XPS 420 Disk Partition/Division

  Hi all

  I just received my new Dell XPS 420 with 500 GB drive.  Default disk configuration is 1 BIG partion (unless of course another partition for the recovery disc).

  I need my drive partitioned at least 2 or 3 scores, however there is no option to specify your wishes for the disk partitioning when you order from Dell Online (I hope they have this option in the future).

  I was thinking two things to work around this problem:

  (1) use the Windows Vista 'Shrink the Volume' feature to shrink the C drive in the smallest size and create a new volume for my data.

  2) restore from "Restore the Image" but I don't know if you can specify the partition of drive during the restoration of the image.

  Any advice would be much appreciated.

  Thank you
