• My Dell XPS 630i cannot manage a 960 GTX GPU?

  Hi, I've been a fan for a long time in this forum, it has helped me MANY times! -I hope that it can help with this problem. I have a Dell XPS 630i, and I would like to upgrade the graphics card for a GTX 960. -Can the system handle it? Is it compatible?

  My system:
  Dell 630i XPX
  Win 7 Pro
  4 GB OF RAM
  Stock power supply 750W
  SATA 500 GB hd
  two 8800 GT SLI vid cards
  1.0.12 BIOS that is installed on the PC.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Thanks in advance.

  P.S. I know that there is a new version of BIOS on the Dell Web site for this (1.0.13), system but before the upgrade, I would like to know if this installation is possible even first (never updated the BIOS before and no sense to do if not compatible). Thank you.

  I just did this, Dell xps 630i 2.4 ghz x 4 8 GB ram. installed the evga gtx 960 only problem is this card takes a pcie 8 pins. the seller has provided adapper taking two 6-pin pCI to a 8 pins. works very well...

• CrossfireX, ATI Radeon HD 3870 + XPS 630i Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a Dell XPS 630i with (2) ATI Radeon 3870 HDs in CrossfireX configuration (by default when bought). It originally shipped with Vista 32 bit and worked very well under all future versions of updated drivers and catalyst and catalyst.

  I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit on a separate partition, and that's where the trouble starts. Windows 7 recognizes both of my cards under Device Manager, however during the installation of the latest catalyst suite and drivers (9.1); It does not recognize that there is a CrossfireX configuration and therefore won't give me CrossfireX option in the menu drop-down graphics (in advanced view). Under information, it shows that one of my cards is the main Board (which is my monitor is attached to) and the other (secondary) is set to disabled.

  I read a little about these cards, as well as the ATI that Dell uses a tweak of specific motherboard (and thus a specific driver) cards to make these cards work in crossfire on a so-called nVidia motherboard, as I understand it. However, I have no idea about the validity of this claim.

  My question is: what exactly should I do to activate my card secondary catalyst so that the CrossfireX option will appear in the drop-down list in the view advanced in Windows 7 64 bit?

  I am ready to provide any other information if it will help find a solution to this problem.

  Thanks in advance for any information submitted.

  I solved this problem yesterday. You need to download the original video drivers on the site of Dell XPS 630i section and install them. This measure of Crossfire on the cards, you can then uninstall the old drivers and use a program like Driver Sweeper to remove all the remains of drivers. Then install the latest version of the suite Catalyst and after restarting it should recognize your Crossfire configuration.

  Kind regards.

• XPS 630i rehabilitation project - what can be done to modernize an old computer

  7 years on a single computer without difficulty is pretty cool, but its slow significantly, can't do recent games, video stream teams all the time, move files and using video editing software is almost eternal.

  The system is XPS 630i, CPU = QX6850, 3 GHz, 8 MB, CDKE, G0. RAM is 4 GB. video card is two cards of the crossfire Radeon 3800 series.  Vista Home premium 32-bit. storage is disk 920 GB internal and external two drives of 1 TB Buffalo (1 is the backup of the system)

  (1) is there a CPU upgrade option?

  (2) update of what graphics card?

  (3) should move from Vista to another help system?

  (4) is there an option to upgrade to RAM?

  I can still a few years out of this system, with say, $500?

  Thanks for the tips

  Thank you Philip for your thoughts.

  My 630i has 4 GB of RAM installed.  Dell said it's the max.  Evolution of operating systems that would change?

  Change to a 64 bit OS you will allow more than 4 GB of RAM and Crucial says that the maximum is 8 GB address:

  http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Dell-memory/XPS/XPS+630i-upgrades.html

  However DDR2 RAM has increased a lot in price recently and the $142 - $208 maybe not worth it. That money would be better spent on the Solid State Drive.

• (Redirected) XPS 15 L501 does not start

  I have a Dell XPS 15 bought L501 end 2010. Still in great shape & very little used. It was running OK, maybe a little hot when it comes to leave. When I plug in the kernel of the slight external battery power and inside battery indicator on the dashboard light up, but the two turns off when I press the power button. The blue light on the power cord.

  Not exchanged the motherboard and processor with used ones I bought online - no change. Returned to original & delivered parts to the seller.

  Replace the power supply with new - no change.

  I am lost and don't know what to do next.

  Help would be greatly appreciated.

• (Redirected) XPS 13 Ultrabook wake from sleep!

  Hello!

  I have a Dell XPS 13 ultrabook I love, apart from a major problem. I can't seem to wake from sleep using the keyboard or the mouse. I never had this experience with a laptop before.  It is a pretty big problem, I use the XPS 13 has docked at the D3100 docking station and connected to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse.  I keep the laptop with the screen closed and just use the external Setup - as you usually would when it is docked. Everything is fine until the device goes to sleep. If the computer is still on, but just the external monitor is turned off because the power settings, and then moving the mouse/hit the keyboard to wake the rear monitor. However, if the computer is idle (NOT put in hibernation), it nothing happens when I move the mouse or repeatedly hit the keyboard. I need to get out the ultrabook the cubby that's in, open, hit the power button, then close and replace. He gets the computer turns on again, but is incredibly annoying. As a side effect of this, all my windows get resized and my icons moved the Office because the latop temporarily switches to the built-in screen (which is at a resolution lower than my external monitor) before returning to the external display. I had the Latitude laptop for years without any problems and was disappointed with this experience. I really hope that there is some sort of fix.

  So far I have tried:

  1. connect the receiver of keyboard/mouse wireless in all USB ports on the ultrabook itself and also the dock of the D3100. No difference is made.

  2. try with a wired keyboard and wireless. No difference is made.

  3 tent to shoot to the top of the mouse/keyboard power management settings in device management and ensure "Allow device to wake the computer" is checked. Not possible, "Power management" tab appears now available in Windows 10 in the device properties window.

  Help, please!

• I can't boot into windows 7 or 10 on my Dell XPS 630i

  Whenever I try to start it with windows 7 or 10 via a usb cable or cd/dvd, I get the same error code.

  0xC0000225

  and he said something abou the firmware (BIOS) is not ACPI compatible, I tried to change the ACPI settings in BIOS but got nowhere.

  Help, please!

  I would like to get into the bios and use default optimization can be the F9 or F5 key then save and exit.

  Kind of difficult to update the firmware of a hard drive without installation active

  But if you have an appointment for the hard drive Internet site manufacturing and research with the model #.

  Most will have a utility to update the firmware of the hard drive for you.

• Issue with XPS 630i nvstor SSD

  After all these years, I still really like the XPS630i.  I was really surprised when I looked for the Q9550 vs i7 comparison.  In any case, I didn't speed up my system a bit so I added a disc SSD OCZ Vertex 3, increased to 8 GB RAM and re-installed Win7 on the SSD.

  Connected to the SATA ports:

  • 0 = SSD OCZ Vertex 3
  • 1 = DVD
  • 2 = 250 GB disk
  • 3 = 250 GB disk

  Setting the BIOS/RAID:

  • 0 = DISABLED
  • 1 = DISABLED
  • 2 = ENABLED
  • 3 = ENABLED

  Everything works quite fine, except that I have periodic freezes (not blocks) where virtually the entire system freezes for ~ 30 to 120 seconds (the mouse cursor usually always moves, but nothing else responds).  I could check in EVENT VIEWER/SYSTEM logs an error that always matches the period of the freeze.

  \Device\RaidPort0, restore the device, has been published.

  Source: nvstor

  Event ID: 129

  

  Device Manager looks like this.  Note that I've seen a few articles saying I should change the DRIVER for the SSD drive for a 'generic' which is IDE instead of SCSI, but I have so far not been able to find a way to do this.  At this point, I think my only option is to install a 3rd SATA controller left to connect the SSD drive in, but that seems stupid to me and I do not think that I have everything open PCI slots I have a map of sounds and the TV Tuner card is already installed.

  Help, please!  I'm pretty tech savvy and ready to try anything.

  

  As I suggested above, please enable RAID for four ports.

• Update video card: 630i Desktop - need advice

  I have a Dell XPS 630i Desktop 5 1/2 year, which usually is going very well, with enough power for most of the cases.  Recently implemented a 125 GB SSD as drive operating system.

  Anyway, in these last days, we got some random video artifacts appears sporadically on one or two of my two monitors Viewsonic (DVI for both of the Nvidia 9800GT 512 MB video card).  A small section of the screen will have the weird characters, sometimes a bunch of screen Flash, etc.  And a few times that there was a BSOD crash, with the video driver (nvlddmkm.sys) be responsible.

  I tell myself that there must be a bad video card or driver.  I have updated to the pilot the most recent on the Dell site (R213185, 181.30, Vista 64, A04) and well.  But I have this vague feeling that it is a hardware problem.  If it was a driver problem, why now after all these years, he suddenly would be problems, no recent changes to the system, etc..

  I used the tools of diagnosis from Dell, which has tested the performance of the video card, memory, etc, and no errors were detected, which is encouraging.

  I post here, to seek advice, in which case the video card end up being the problem and need to be replaced.

  1. If I decide to replace it, what are some good recommendations for a new map of video for this system (Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 GHz, 6 GB of RAM).  I don't want exaggerated and pay for potential performance of video card I would not be obtained with the old motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc.

  2. the current system is sufficient for most cases, with the main shortcoming being the slow performance when you are working on my of Canon DSLR Raw files in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop, watch a HD video from camcorders or other sources, etc.  In this regard, replace the video card would provide a substantial improvement in this type of performance?

  3. I'd rather than replace the entire office by something more recent?

  All thought, popular point of view.

  Don

  Video card drivers can become corrupt and simply uninstall them and their update with a new driver may solve the problem.  It is more likely a hardware problem, a driver problem, even if the 9800 GT is an old map.  If he wasn't pushed hard with the game over the years, then it can last a long time. XPS 630i is a good system and with the Q6600 it is still worthy and can perform very well.  If you were to replace the video card, I'd just get something simple like the GTX 650 HERE, which would exceed the performance of the 9800 GT and not market much.

  As the XPS 630i has been stored for a long period of time, the replacement of the battery from the motherboard would be the first step.

  A CR2032 3V Lithium coin battery is needed, it can be purchased from any Radio Shack, Wal-Mart and most pharmacies.

  Tip: Before you replace the CMOS battery, if possible try to write down the settings of system configuration, as a reference.

  What color is the power light and it is solid or blinking?

  There the "beeps" [see page 91]?

  The tool and XPS 630i diagnostic Codes, is here:

  http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_xps_desktop/XPS-630_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.PDF

  Two beeps might indicate a memory problem, try to open the case, remove and reinstall all the memory, to see if that makes a difference.

  If you think you're able to work inside the chassis, it would be better to take the 630i to a local computer repair shop.
