OptiPlex GX280 - power card mother and replaced power

Hello-

I just replaced the power supply, motherboard and power in an Optiplex GX280 with the parts supplied by Dell. Everything that looks like it is hooked up correctly, however, when I turn on the computer, it cannot find the boot device. When I look at the BIOS, it does not recognize that there is a hard drive is present. How can I fix?

Thank you!

  • Error 0X0000007E Stop after installing the new card mother and CPU.

    Original title: Stop error after installing the new card mother and CPU.

    After I installed a new motherboard and CPU I got a stop error 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XB77EA756, 0XB84C742C, 0xB84C7128) and it restarted immediately. It always starts in safe mode, but I can't understand what is wrong. The old processor is a pentium 4 3 ghz, not sure what the motherboard was, new processor is AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual core 4200 + and I only know that the motherboard is an ASUS socket AM2. Device Manager does not recognize the CPU correctly, it shows just two entries called processor. As far as I can tell, it's almost certainly a driver issue, but I don't know how to diagnose or fix this. I am running windows XP home, I removed my video card, running 2 hard drives at 120 g (M) and 200 g (S), a DVD drive (M) and a reader of CD (S), and a stick of RAM to 1 GB.

    If you have made the change without having to reinstall XP, you will be taking and Pray H@ll. the best thing to do would be to reinstall XP and make sure you have the drivers available for your motherboard available so that you can update the installed chipset. In addition, be aware that if you have an OEM of Windows version, the license is dead when you changed the mother/CPU card.

    I hope this helps.

    Hey icuhavoc

    are recovery disks to reinstall vista with the original hardware installed if I understand you correctly know what records you need to know a set of manufacturer's recovery disks

    If it is pre-installed this is an oem license and does not change unless you did it in consultation with the manufacturer of models of motherboards and processors

  • I want to improve my card mother and CPU on my PC. Can I use transfer windows settings for it?

    I want to improve my card mother and CPU on my PC. I like to keep all my settings from my games, etc, so I don't have to buy/purchase new and purchase/buy a new OS Win. I am running Win 7 Pro. What is the best way to address the issue? I keep my OS on a SSD and all the other stuff is on a separate HARD disk. Basically, I need to install the new chipset and other pilots MB.

    You can save files and settings and restore to the new installation of Windows, but the games cannot be guaranteed. Just give a try. If it works, it's fine. If this isn't the case, you must reinstall the games.

    Hello world

    I have a HP Pavilion DV6-2115sa

    Product number: WB330EA #ABU

    It is out of warranty and one day when he began cutting during the boot. I brought it to a local store and they gave me a ridiculous price for a replacement motherboard.

    I came across one with HP Pavilion DV6-2113sa auction to sell for a small price with a motherboard completely functional.

    I wanted to ask if it is possible to move the motherboard for my laptop and possibly putting my processor in the new motherboard?

    I would very much apreciate any responses as the id would like to know if there is any time to do the 2113sa?

    [removed s/n of privacy]

    Hello:

    I would speculate that it is certainly possible.

    Here are links to the two models.

  • Have ACER Aspire desktop on which a card mother and preloaded Windows Vista Home Premium (oem) has become corrupted somehow.

    Motherboard has been replaced, now need the Windows Vista Home premium media to complete the restoration of the system.  Machine did not come with any recovery disk. These materials are available for download on the Microsoft site? Thank you

    Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11, Acer can be Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  • new connection card mother and a Pro to windows 7 64 bit computer processor, hard drive will be OK

    Some time ago, I built a PC with an operating system of Windows 7 64 bit with an ASrock 880GMH/USB3 R2.0 motherboard equipped with an AMD Athlon II X processor 2 260 3.20 GHz which took his life an intermittent fault, the fault is that it intermittently does not detect not the monitor, when she made this so I shut down the computer with the power button because it is a white screen, once I do that then it will boot normally for a while, then happens again, I've worked on this problem for far too long and decided to change my motherboard and processor, what I want to know is, 'it will affect my hard drive. I have a recovery and a picture of disk and file system and files backed up on an external drive, not long ago I installed a new larger hard drive and installed a clean, so it doesn't have something to do with the hard drive, I'd rather not have to do another clean install properly reactivate and I have already once recently reactivated.

  • Ghost work image (backup) if card mother and/or hard disk is changed.

    Hello

    I have HP Compaq CQ61-408TX. I did the backup of all data and operating system Win XP using Ghost 2003. Then I had to take my laptop to the after-sales service. Maybe they have changed his motherboard (hard drive, and not even sure).

    When I restored my backup using Ghost, it worked. But I'm not using.

    Instead, I have win 7 and it works fine but XP is more important to me.

    My Question is can I restore XP sauvegardΘ ghost without damaging my laptop and continue to use it.

  • Hello, I get upgraded my computer and change the card mother and new CPU.__Is it no problem to install my OS. and re-activation. ???

    Activation

    If you have a retail version of XP, there will be no problem. A repair installation may or may not work. Of course you will be smart and save your data on an external first.

    If you have a version of XP OEM, it is related to the original computer on which it is installed. Since replacing the motherboard and processor you effectively create a new computer, you must purchase a new copy of XP in this case.

    The site is authentic.  You have two options when you do your relocation:

    Method 1

    1. Download SP3 form the Microsoft site and burn it to a cd or copy it to a flash drive.
    2. Reinstall Windows with your original Windows XP CD.
    3. Use the copy of SP3 that you burned on the CD or copied to the flash drive and update the machine to SP3.  Note that if you have an original CD of 'gold' of Windows XP without service pack that you install SP1a or SP2 before you install SP3, SP2 is available here , download and save it with SP3 before making your relocation.

    Method 2

    1. Download SP3 from the Microsoft site and it wake to your Windows XP CD.
    2. Install Windows XP with your slipstreamed CD and your installation will be in SP3, when installation is complete you will not need to install service packs, you'll just have to do some other updates that have been released after SP3.

    The http://lifehacker.com/386526/slipstream-service-pack-3-into-your-windows-xp-installation-cd is legitimate, it only gives you instructions on how to create and burn a CD of SP3 slipstreamed Windows XP.  If this seems too daunting then use method 1 to install Windows.

    Both methods are very good but method 2 allows a nicer cleaner installation, everything is installed to SP3 level and there are no remnants of previous service packs.  While creating the slipstreamed CD may appear to be a time consuming task, in the end, it will be a time saver and afterwards if you ever have problems with the installation of Windows you may need this cd SP3 slipstreamed to all repairs on the installation.  You can create the SP3 cd now and do it ready and at hand for future needs.

  • SDS on a new card mother and also 3 SATA disks

    I change my motherboard ASUS PK5C to Gigabyte Z77 - D3H 5 years. My question is:

    I'm happy to reformat and reinstall Windows 7 on SSD drive, BUT when I reconnect my 3 SATA II drives for the new motherboard, be they recognized? I don't want to lose the data on them. I don't do mine if they appear as different drive letters - which I can reassign again.

    Guy

    Built the PC last night - 1 230 GB SSD, SATA 3 readers on i5 8 MB of memory, and Gigabyte Mobo Z77 - D3h. Printers, scanner etc.  and no problem at all. AHCI is at the present time.

    Bit the bullet and went for a clean install of Windows.

    With the help of the retaim Home Premium. Very impressed with the speed of the SATA 3 SSD.

  • card mother Dell can change my existing parent outside with one of the same brand and model?

    I have a dell inspiron 530, the motherboard is bad. I was going to get the same model. but I was told that windows will not work on the new. even if they are the same type of motherboard

    Make the point by replacing with the same card mother and model is interpreted as reinstallation on the same computer.

    Change the motherboard starts the process of building a new computer and an OEM of Windows version is only intended to be installed on a computer not two or more. You can purchase licenses for installing Windows on multiple computers, but they aren't meant to business computers home computers.

  • Dell desktop computer just ran scan & system - failure of the card mother how fix this?

    Hi, I have a Dell desktop computer that came with an Epson printer & all the other necessary things: keyboard, mouse, speakers, & flat screen.  I bought it in 2009.  I'm on social security, so I can't afford to buy a warranty with Dell, which missed.  My system works fine.  Dell offers, free of charge, a scan to check the memory card mother and other issues.  I do the scan every month.   It was record past in all categories.

    However, I just did a scan on July 6, 2013 and the analysis of response of the system said failure in red.  Then he said: 'mother' I know refers to the hard drive.  I am over 65 and fairly low tech & live alone.  However, I am pretty savvy, computer or as much as I can be.

    I checked the help MSN menu, but could not follow him.  This is why I post my question on the MSN Community forum, which helped me with other problems in the past.  I have also just posted on the Dell forums.  I have MSN as my homepage & use IE 9, it works best for me.  The only email I have is on AOL and I've been there for years without any problem.

    I have Verizon FIOS; If I can't get an idea of how this problem on the forums (in fact, I prefer MSN forums) I'll call them.  They offer free advice by telephone.  If necessary, they will come to my apartment to check my system & require a rate SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the Geek Squad.

    However, I did not do anything to the system.  I have update printer drivers, since the printer has suddenly stopped working when I replaced the cartridges.  I don't think that this should be a problem.  I replaced the cartridges before.  I have an Epson Stylus NX110 printer/scanner/copier & called Epson, they SUCK.  The printer comes with the computer.  I have installed new drivers & the printer works fine.  I do not have a wireless system, & I don't have a digital camera.  The only other conflict can be I have two Microsoft Security Essentials AND free AVG downloaded as my anti-virus, anti-spyware.

    I know that the new drivers, I installed the printer were great, it was an update of Epson which I figured out.  I as well need the computer & printer. I am disabled & only at home much & this is my link with the outside world.  I do a little writing & letters print & printing (Yes, postal mail) to friends & also letters to additional government assistance of my State & County.  I appreciate all the advice and I'm sorry it's so long.

    One last thing: I keep getting pop-ups from this survey company called five votes.  I have tried everything to remove them, but they reappear.  I do not take surveys & I get rid of pop-ups.  I have my Blocker on MSN and AOL.  Could these pop-ups have corrupted my hard drive? I've been doing them for months, it is very likely.

    First of all - the 'motherboard' does not mean 'hard drive '.  This means that the "mother".  :-)  The drive is the storage processors is the brain and everything connects through... the "mother".

      
    Second - why sweep you all the months?  Unless you are having a problem - well - I suggest you not to do so.  Heck - you may see a false positive.  Do you have any indication that you have a hardware failure?
      
    Here's what I suggest:
    (1) stop the execution of this "free scan of Dell.
    (2) ensure that the drivers of motherboard, video card, network device and peripheral chipset audio are later you can get - on the Dell site for your specific Service and operating system combination label (drivers and downloads section, use your service number and put in the operating system you are using.)
    (3) never use Geek Squad.
    (4) what is the "MSN Help Menu?
    (5) choose AN antivirus software - two is misguided and may cause problems.
    (6) run some scans of malware with the details, I will give you right after that...
      

    Regarding AntiVirus - free are very good: Avira, AVG, Avast, UnThreat

    You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Remove everything it finds.

    Reset.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.
