OptiPlex 755 desktop computer

To my surprise, I find that the Office has a motherboard form factor small inside with only 2 sata ports, not 4 as described in the manual. A hard drive or optical drives are installed so the two are used to leaving only the e-sata port. Can I use the port e-sata for a 2nd internal hard drive?

The office 755 minitour have 4 SATA connectors on the motherboard, the short form has 2 and ultra small form has a. So I guess that you have a small format system.

You may be able to connect an eSATA disk naked on this motherboard connector, but you must be able to connect to the internal power supply too.

Biggest problem is there is only one accessible internal drive Bay in the small format system and it is occupied by the existing HARD drive. If your available drive Bay would only be used for accessible outside slimline floppy drive. You will find an eSATA disk which will be actually engage and fix in this Bay...?

  • Video card in Dell Optiplex 755 Desktop HELP

    Hello everyone, I'm new here and I really need your help :)

    I have a Dell Optiplex 755 desktop computer and incredible as it may seem that I did not know the Office had no graphic card (video card?) lol x)

    The Office gave at Christmas, I wonder if you could indicate a video card ideal for my desktop PC which is not too expensive.

    I use Windows 7 Pro, I don't know much about computers components, but I found this graphics card what you think? Will work or not? graphics-cards.specout.com/.../ASUS-GeForce-210-Silent

    I really need your help guys.

    This is bad advice because the card in question is not necessarily in all cases EXCEPT TOUR because of the unique slot configuration.  FAT OFF heat sinks will not physically go in the models of desktop SFF and USFF has no slot so no card is an option.

    Radiator to map out more 1 wide slot.

    This is why I always recommend specific ASUS Radeon HD5450 or 6450 cards.

  • Form factor of the graphics cards that work with the Dell Optiplex 760 desktop computer?

    Hello

    So I recently got this Dell OptiPlex 760 desktop form factor that I really like and I would get a video card for it.

    It's the desktop form factor. The second largest next to the mini tower. There a 240W (or 250?) food I don't want to change. I would like a GPU that works with a supply of 240 w.

    I wish it were less than 60 dollars. I do some light games (Minecraft) and want to join a substantial amount of FPS with this game. Suggestions of the card?

    I'll give you more information.

    It fits into all THE MODELS except the USFF because USFF has no slots.  You will need to remove the flange size and use the version of low profile.

    cs_setInnerHtml ('video_9366bb5b-9fda-4cca-bfea-c4ec470df1e3', ");

    Maximum power allowed is 25W on low profile units.

    It is also why they Print 25W max on the 16 X video slot.

  • CPU Upgrade for Optiplex 755 - Core 2 Quad?

    Hey guys!

    I have a Dell Optiplex 755 desktop computer. It's a SFF, and I picked up the recycling room in my office. It just need a HD fan, and it runs great. He got a Core 2 vPro 3.0 ghz in there at the moment, 4 MB of cache and FSB 1333.

    It works well, but I would like to upgrade to a slightly faster processor and I am considering my options. I watched the fastest Core 2 Duo, I couldn't, and they offer only a 3.33 ghz, however, it's something like $350 dollars for the processor.

    I started thinking maybe I should see what there is and realized that there is also the Core 2 Quad and the Extreeme of 2 Core that are available with one cache of FSB 1333 mhz, and PGA775 (or other).

    I'm curious, but you guys don't know if it is possible to install a Core 2 Quad or a Core 2 Extreme in my Dell Optiplex 755? This PDF shows on Page 10 to take a Core 2 Quad. http://www.Dell.com/downloads/global/products/Optix/en/opti_755_techspecs.PDF

  • OptiPlex 755 denies access to the boot sequence menu.

    Found a weird problem on an Optiplex 755 Desktop Tower System.

    I can change other values available on the system, but cannot get into the boot sequence menu.  The BIOS that was on the system was A17.

    Updated the A20. No change.

    Oh. It wasn't later. Upgrade to A21.  No change.

    Downgraded to A12.  No change. Faced A21. No change.

    Demoted in A10. No change. Faced A21. No change.

    Decommissioned at A01. No change. A21 encountered no change.

    If there is a password on the system when I tried to access the boot sequence menu it reminded me that I needed to type first. After correctly entering this value, the guest went away, but I still couldn't get into the boot sequence.

    I removed the battery cmos for 20 minutes while the system has been disabled, it put, started. No change.

    I replaced the battery cmos with that of another system.  No change.

    Tried another keyboard. No change.

    The jumper to reset the cmos.  No change.  A run the utilities on board.  No error could be found.

    If I hold the Enter key while on the boot sequence menu I can see the screen initial start-up and glimmers of it will not advance to the next screen.

    Unplugged the system and pressed the button for 30 to 60 seconds. No change.

    I think it's ripe for a replacement under warranty.

    I know that this response comes a little late, but for someone else has this problem...

    IT CAN BE FIXED!

    This problem seems to arise after a BIOS updated completely flashing properly. That leaves the user unable to change the boot device priority in BIOS, causing therefore the machine complaining that there, there is "No Boot Device available"

    Making level and the average standard BIOS downgrade do not seem to work; However with some switches it can be done.

    First of all, you need the BIOS first release, A01 (O755-A01. (EXE), currently available from http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R164252

    Second, you will need also the latest version of the BIOS, A22 (O755-A22. (EXE), currently available from http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=2DWTY

    Lastly, you need a USB stick or hard drive which is able to boot the machine in DOS. It is recommended to use the free 'Rufus' tool to create a bootable FreeDOS. Rufus is currently available at https://rufus.akeo.ie/

    In addition, you may need to install jumper on the motherboard service mode; This repair was completed successfully with him helped, although it * might * work without it installed, although this has not been tested.

    First create a FreeDOS using Rufus bootable USB device. When complete, copy the two BIOS A01 (O755-A01. (EXE) and BIOS A22 (O755-A22. (EXE) to the root of the memory stick.

    Insert the memory stick into the computer, and then press F12 for BIOS. Boot from the USB key. Once at the DOS prompt, type:

    O755-A01 - wipeall - wipeclean

    Press on enter and follow the prompts on the screen. After the BIOS has been flashed, the computer must restart. Go into the BIOS and check the options under system boot sequence. The boot sequence should now not only display the name of your hard drive, but will be variable, allowing your computer to start normally. Set up your BIOS Setup to your liking (including date and time setting) and save it then & leave. After the reboot, press F12 again and start once more the USB device.

    Flash the BIOS A22 the standard way by typing O755-A22 pressing on enter. Follow the prompts on the screen. Once the BIOS has been flashed, check the settings of the BIOS again to make sure that the Boot Device menu is always available.

    Once finished, be sure to remove the rider of mode of service (if installed).

    FAQ

    Why it works?


    From what I can tell, the previous BIOS flashing tool includes switches that later versions are not. -wipeclean - and wipeall are an integral part of this fix works as they completely erasing all the BIOS settings that are not usually deleted when the BIOS is updated. For some reason, Dell has removed these BIOS update tools options later.

    In addition, the previous BIOS flashing tool actually flashes the BIOS itself DOS rather than rely on the BIOS RAM loading and then Flash with routines in the BIOS of the current system. I have no idea if that makes a difference in the process, but I imagine that it allows more options to pass to the routine of flashing.

    Sorry for the long post, but I hope this helps someone! Having recently put his hands on a couple of these machines and having the same problem, it's incredibly frustrating.

  • Internal BluRay Optiplex 755

    I have a recently purchased Dell Optiplex 755 Desktop (Core 2 Duo 2.20 GHz - 2 GB of ram) that I turned into a HTPC.  I am wanting to replace the current DVD - RW with a Blu - Ray player, so it can really be the HTPC, I need.  I don't know what it takes to get well.  I've already added a video as the integrated graphics card were not allowing me to connect the PC to my TV.  So now has a Radeon HD 6570 (1 GB 128 - bit DDR3) inside.

    I don't really need another burner that I have a laptop with what I can do and this PC is 100% as my home theater box.  Thanks for your suggestions.

  • Double video for a DT optiplex 755 (office)

    All - I have a dell optiplex 755 desktop model and want to switch to two monitors.  Im not playing or do the cutting-edge graphics, I want just the flexibility to both monitors.  I do a lot of design document in development work and would like to be able to have the two windows runs in both full screen mode.  Looks like there are a lot of monitors on slickdeals now a days.  I would like help in selecting a suitable video card to get there. any suggestions?

    No, it was the other HDMI and DVI.

    A DVI-HDMI or HDMI-DVI cable will work. In my case, two monitors were DVI, so I used a HDMI-DVI cable. There are more complex and expensive cards with two DVI ports, but it is cheaper to use a cable such as I have described.

  • OptiPlex 755 Mini Tower does not, no outdoor lighting

    I can not get an OptiPlex 755 minitower to light. It ran quite constantly in a desktop environment on a battery backup/surge protector APC until it failed Monday morning. Then, there was little orange light flashing or continuous. When the computer was turned off, he would not come again. Sorry for the blur, but it's an opportunity information. I found a lot of dust inside, but I've seen much worse on computers

    When I push the power button, I get no change: no light in the power button, no diagnostic lights, no noise, no fan movement. When I connect it to power the led "to THE" on the motherboard is provided on a solid yellow/orange for the power supply is to put something.

    Is this likely to be a power supply problem? Is it possible to limit other than buying a replacement POWER supply?

    Thanks for any help,

  • Adding a second drive to my Optiplex 755

    I bought an Optiplex 755 renovated a few months back that came with a floppy (really?). I decided to add a second drive, so I removed the disk and put a Seagate 750 GB drive in its place. I entered the program installation and active the drive, rebooted, went back into the Setup program to verify that the disc was recognized that it was. BUT now, whenever I restart the machine, I have the black screen with the following text:

    Replacing the HARD drive is not valid, continued use can lead to long-term reliability problems HDD please press that F1 in you want to continue.

    It also gives me the choice to press F1 to continue, F2 to enter setup or on F5 to run tests.

    I press F1 and it starts normally.

    My question is how or what I do to eliminate this black screen? Because if I restart and let the system is here and waiting forever.

    Thanks for your help.

    The DT, SFF, USFF systems REQUIRE specific Western Digital or SAMSUNG drive model. Replacing the HARD drive is not valid is specific to 745 and 755 SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT systems.

    The DT, SFF, USFF models will have a thermal message.  The model of the Tower does not care the drive Type.  This is due to "thermal considerations.

    Desktop Dell 755 is configured to reject anything but a hard drive Western Digital or Samsung, claiming that it is due to "thermal considerations.  This is for Desktop and SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT models.

  • OptiPlex 755 USFF does not start after changing the cmos battery

    I have a desktop Optiplex 755 USFF requiring the cmos battery to replace. After the replacement of the computer will not start. It brings up the menu windows start, the sasfe mode, safe mode with network set mode command prompt, security, last know good configuration and boot normally. Any option will bring to the top of the WIndows XP loading screen and then re-boot of the computer right back to the start screen. A big loop. I can get the hard drive to boot in an Optiplex GX280 without problem. I was told of the motherboard needs to be replaced, but I changed the units of the system and the same thing with this hard drive.

    I tried to reinstall the operating system and get all the way to "starting windows" and then the blue screen stop error message 0x0000007B (0xF7A10524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) dead. The computer is WIndows XP SP3, 1 GB of ram with 80 GB hard drive. It seems that the Setup program does not recognize the hard drive.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    After several hours of experimentation, I finally found the correct BIOS settings in order to get the computer to boot. There are three BIOS settings that need to be changed or check settings by default so that it can work. SATA 0 must be activated, SATA operations must be changed from AHCI, ATA and in the modular Bay, by default "far-sighted" should be replaced by the IDE. Save the settings and start the computer to the right upwards.

  • New Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS with OptiPlex 755

    Hello

    I have a form factor computer to desktop OptiPlex 755 with 3.0 ghz dual core processor, 1 gig ram and 280w of power. I recently bought a new video card because the integrated Intel video card could not support a new game I bought. The card is a PNY Verto with a Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS chipset. I installed it in the PCI express card

    slot and turned on the computer while the monitor is connected to the new card and I had no video. I had to return the vedo on the on board to get to the CMOS memory (I think that's what it's called). I chose the onboard/card instead of the automatic selection option in the video section of the configuration of the system, but the system still does not recognize the new card. He used to see the same place on windows. I know that this new card says it requires a 300w power supply, but I heard that dell underestimates their power and is really much more that they are listed. Why my computer does not recognize the card?


  • OptiPlex 755: 1 & 2 lights lit, noisy, but not the expansion cards. Why?

    This seems to be a problem for many people with Dells, apparently for most Optiplexes. No one I found here has received a response.

    My desktop Optiplex 755 in 2007 (hand) computer refuses to put on today. I don't know why. There could be all sorts of reasons (I dropped a few weeks ago as he ran, he was overheating until I removed the cover and blew my air conditioner for the last week and a half, etc.) but the problem is not only started when I went to turn it on this morning.

    The machine reached the Dell screen on both monitors. Then they will empty, start the computer beeping quickly (without reason) and 1 and 2 are turned on but not 3 and 4. The manual says this means there is a problem of expansion card, but specifies that it is NOT a graphics card problem. The graphics card is the only expansion card in the system.

    What does that mean?

    Well, gee... If you dropped it, you could have dislodged many things inside the box, and you can even crashed hard drive. So you may want to reinstall the RAM modules in their slots, plug cable connectors between the readers and motherboard (at both ends), and Yes, even to reinsert the video card.

    Are you sure that your system does not have a PCI-e modem, a wireless card, a supplement network (Ethernet) card, etc., which were all of the options available for the 755? Instructions for the removal of the video card, because it starts without the video card, so removing it will not help you exclude 1.2 error IDENTIFICATION of the other PCI-e card that can cause problems.

    And if it started overheating after you dropped it, there's a chance you dislodged the heatsink and the CPU fan, you will have to perhaps remove the heatsink, clean the old thermal paste off the heatsink and the CPU (do not clear the CPU in its socket!) then apply a small amount of thermal paste fresh (for example (, Arctic Silver) before turning the heat sink.

    When all this is done, remove the battery from the motherboard and press / hold down the power button for about 30 sec. Reinstall the battery (use a new, if it is old) and see if that solves your problems.

    Always turn off, unplug and press/hold power button for about 15 seconds before opening the case.

  • OptiPlex 755 DT - USB 3.0 module card, riser, front, etc.

    Hey guys!

    I have an OptiPlex 755 DT (2nd most large) desktop computer and plan on installing a USB 3.0 card for her. It connect to the pci-e x 1. The problem is the free pci-e slot only is the slot of the riser, and it is far from the back of the computer for the card to reach.  has been thinking using a pci-e riser like this. The only problem with it is - what the normal PCI slots would be a way for me to connect.

    A way around this would be to just remove the support, put the card in the slot of the riser, standing in the middle of the PC and use usb cables such as those with support for ports reach the back of the PC.

    Once the puzzle is solved, I would this front panel connet to the card.

    Did someone come up with a good way to solve this case, or have experience with the proposed solutions, a way around my problem? Any help is greatly appreciated! : D

    Mounting slot is NOT a PCI-E X 1 Slot.

    USE this option if you INSIST on the USB3.
