(Redirected) Alienwarex51 R2 upgrade

Hello, I just bought an Alienware x 51 R2 (June / July) and I wonder if it is possible to upgrade my Nvidia Gtx 970 2 GB graphics card to an Nvidia Gtx 1070 or better?

Best regards

  • Xps8700 (redirect) & windows 10 upgrade

    I have the Dell XPS 8700 and have tried for days to get the upgrade for windows 10.  All my drivers and BIOS are up-to-date and I followed all possible suggestions including disabling the firewall and anti-virus while trying to get the upgrade, but I can't get the upgrade.

    For my first attempt:

    After the screen for the agreement and clicking Yes, I then got a screen indicating that Windows 10 could not be installed - we could not update the system reserved partition.

    The next time I tried, I got the same error, and when I went to update Windows, past review updates there was a message that it failed and the information gave me the number of failure 80240020.

    I do not search this number error or failure and has done everything that has been proposed and then tried again.  But 3 times now, I've tried and keep the error code 0xc1900200.

    I checked and my computer is compatible - even the dell site says that all drivers and bios are updated.  I did all that I can think of to get this free update again, full.  Shortly after buying the computer, I heard about the new operating system and knew that I should have to wait to get a new computer and then I heard about the free upgrade so I wasn't worried.  But no matter what I tried it will not work.

    I have checked the compatibility report and even ran it again and it says that my computer is fully compatible.

    Does anyone have any suggestions.  If I could afford it, I would have gotten a guarantee longer and went to Dell about this problem (but when you're barely scraping as it is, a simple fail to find the money to buy a longer warranty)

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • (Redirected) Time to upgrade the server

    I need to upgrade my server.

    I've been using a 400SC for about 12 years with Server 2003 and it has served us well.

    I have 8 client machines.

    The server is a domain controller and a file server for 2 programs.

    No mail electronic or other uses.

    I am trying to decide what machine to update and continue as we are for several years.

    I hope I can shoot with Server Essentials of 2012.

    One of my client machines is a precision with two Xeon processors T7400. I thought to use it just as a server. I also have a Poweredge 840 which I could resurrect.

    Ideas or recommendations. Don't know about which way to go. I just want to be able to run another 5 or 6 years without having to upgrade again.

    I don't want a possible RAID.

    Don't like a single HD in my server.

  • (Redirected) Windows 10 upgrade screwed up my machine

    I have a Dell 8700, with provided Invidia graphics card. I made sure that everything on 8.1 Win was updated including Invidia graphics drivers.

    I went through the upgrade to win 10, but the machine ended up just sitting there with the cursor of the mouse on a white screen. After leaving it for another hour, it was all the same so I turned off the machine and restarted.

    At the beginning I have nothing else than the same black screen with the mouse cursor, which could move around the screen but do nothing. I decided to enter my password, what has worked and I got the office. I am OK there is a glitch on the first boot, but it should be OK now. NO, when I tried to open a program, the status bar says it was open, but nothing on the screen but the wallpaper. Through litigation, I discovered that the cursor stopped at the top right and bottom of the screen, but left it would cease for the first thumb down or then disappear the edge, there was an open window in the taskbar on the edge of windows, but I could see that the tile.

    So without control, I restarted, now enter the password did not get on the desktop. another reboot and now all I get is 5 beeps at startup and absolutely nothing else. According to a post on the internet 5 beeps is failure of CMOS battery, new battery fitted - bad, still 5 beeps.

    The PC has worked very well every day and I have never had any problems with her or any other update in the past and worked until the upgrade to win 10.

    Anyone got the answers?

  • (Redirected) The motherboard upgrade, but I would still use the 3770 Alienware x 51 i7 cpu.

    Hi, im having trouble finding the exact chipset of the Alienware 51 i7 x 3770. I bought a new case, the food and the gpu for the project. I also jumped the gun and the waste of money on a motherboard with a lga1150 socket that I thought would work, but was wrong in the end. I noticed on the stock x 51 mb he had 115 x lm on the socket, but I wasn't sure if it was the code of real socket or something else.  I would like to know if someone could inform me on which card code mother socket would support my cpu or direct me to any suited cards Mini ITX mothers who will support the i7 Alienware 3770.

  • (Redirected) Touch screen upgrade e6420

    Hi, I'm new to the forum so please, be gentle. I have a Dell e6420 i7 nvidia4200 and an evo pro 1 TB samsung. I bought a whole new screen touch LG HD and installed, the image is much better, but I'm having a real difficult time getting the touch at work! What I did to get the correct driver I sent a message to a seller on eBay who sells a model touch screen and asked them the serial number in the hope that I could get the drivers from dell Web site, but... When I try to install it says that it cannot install because my laptop is not x 86, I managed to get the human interface, through administrative tools/services, but there is no option to boot the usb interface? Do I need a new Ribbon for the screen (the one that supports the touch) or all Ribbons are the same? does anyone know of a work around please? I would be eternally grateful.

    PS I am happy to give a 'finders fee' if anyone can find me the right driver or information to make it work

    Thank you in advance.

  • (Redirected) Graphics card upgrade

    Hello

    I am currently looking for a 900 Nvidia graphics card, but I have a few concerns about whether it will work in my X 51 r2

    1. power: my diet seems to give about 250 watts but tell all of the 900 series, you need a minimum of + 400 watts but have a power draw of, for example, of 150 watts. That means for my pc?

    2. size. Space for a card in my pc is about 125mm and a large number of these cards say they aren't that size or larger. Are there any cards that would certainly keep my build?

    Also, the Alienware website has a nvidia 960 in option for my pc currently model so I'll take that as an indicator that they would work. However, the 960's, I have looked at all have this 400 minimum power. I'm looking on the wrong things? Any help appreciated.

  • Micro says I need to update, and so don't you and then you say, I'm already up to date.

    When I go from MSN (on my Mac), it redirects me to upgrade my browser. I then go to a Mozilla page which tells me that it seems that I use an older version. I then follow the instructions to get an update and tells me that my Firefox is currently up-to-date. I don't like Microsoft made me go through an extra step and the conflicting messages from Mozilla.

    How to do this?

    Save the file on your computer, do not try to run it. Then, close Firefox (the file is already on your computer) find the file and install it.

  • After upgrade, I can't navigate. When I click the icon, I get redirected to a sterile help page, with no way out and no navigation State. Help?

    I can not navigate on at all. I installed 20 FF, and when I try to activate I get redirected to a support deadend page. Before the upgrade, I uninstalled the previous version, which worked very well.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • based on the redirection port has stopped working after the upgrade of Capitan 10.11.3

    I have a web service running on a VM (virtualbox VM), which I can access on my mac via 192.168.99.100:8000. The mac itself is tuned to 192.168.1.2. To port 8000, I set up a redirect on the server (Server version 5.0.15 OSX) Web sites pointing to 192.168.99.100:8000. It works, as long as the conscripts of the Mac (even when called from another virtual machine on this mac).

    However, redirection fails when you try to access from other computers within the 192.168.x.y space, or when it is called from the internet.

    ... I add a few comments on what has been checked so far:

    -port 8000 is open to the router

    -OSX El Capitan (10.11.3) firewall application is disabled in system preferences

    -OSX Firewall adaptive server is disabled (using sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/afctl - X)

    -by checking port 8000 canyouseeme.org it is recognized as open

    ... still, the request never machine made...

  • (Redirected) Upgrade Windows 10 blocked by a Dell data encryption

    I've implemented the Protection/encryption of Dell on the c: / drive of my laptop Latitude 5400 series age of 30 months, by end-2014.  I disabled this same encryption mid-2015, because it alters its overall performance for laptop too.  Encryption console shows my C: / drive now as "not provisionsed.

    Now, I tried (many times) to upgrade my OS Win 7 Pro to win 10 via Microsoft current offers "free upgrade".  However, the upgrade is blocked, each time, by encrypting data Dell, according to the report of failure of upgrade to win 10.  Doubly frustrating!  Is there a hope to solve this?  Microsoft reminds me of Dell.  Or else, I'll just sit and stay with Win 7, until this laptop is replaced later?
