• Reference Dell Desktop-replacement for Nvidia GeForce GTS 240 graphics card

  Nice day. I hope an expert can help me.

  My computer: Desktop computer Studio XPS 8100 Dell, intel Core i7 870 2.93 GHz, 8 MB, etc.
  Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 240 single memory 1 GB. Reading, not sold at retail and is now no longer available.
  Unit of power: 350 Watt maximum.

  I do not use the computer to play games.

  For various reasons, you can Please provide DETAILS for me a graphics card in replacement of approximately the same 'power' +. I can myself, slot load driver and be operational. Don't not changing other pieces (I hope) and there seems to be so many available graphics cards.

  I hope for the purchase of the graphics card via Internet, British supplier and then abroad for me.

  In the meantime, thank you for your help.

  Hi Skanter - just saw this message-hope it comes in time

  I had this problem with mine - it was also to achieve 90degC. It is caused by a really poorly designed cooling system - the fins of the radiator are locked behind a metal shield and the fan blows into it.

  What you need to do is: -.

  (1) turn off and unplug everything from the PC

  (2) open the side panel and disconnect the audio cables and power of GPU

  (3) remove the mobo

  (4) with the help of a tiny posidrive screwdriver, unscrew the thin metal cover of heat sink

  (5) use a brush to remove all the dirt you may see! DO NOT BLOW IT OUT WITH YOUR BREATH!

  (6) reassemble and hopefully enjoy the silence!

  If you still get the noise the chances are some dust penetrated fan (this happened to me when I used compressed air to blow the heat sink). Replacement fans are as rare as horse poop to switch I could not even one of the original manufacturer (path to the bottom of the chain - don't expect any help from Dell or nVidia here, I'm afraid) but are thankfully easy to fix.

  GTS 240 fan fix: -.

  I do memory-sorry if I get something slightly wrong!

  (1) remove a map as shown above. Once the radiator fan cover will be exposed.

  (2) very gently, using a pair of small screwdrivers hanging under the blower rotor, gently lift the rotor clear of the case. He doesn't want to go at first, but be patient and try and apply steady pressure on each side.

  3) out of the bearing once clean any muck-it only takes a small amount here because of the noise.

  4) applied with a headset, a tiny (and I mean tiny) bit of WD40 (don't know what this is called in the United States-but it's a wonder spray!) for the bearing

  (5) wipe off - you'll need that the strict residue on the tree

  (6) reassemble and get started!

  If you are worried about prising off the rotor (or indeed I was wrong) you can undo the radiator all of PCB by unscrewing the screws with springs on them - this allows access to the screw bit to hold the fan. Then you can cancel these abd slide the cable out which means that you can clean the bottom - but the rotor must always be removed to lubricate the bearings.

  Good luck

• Reference Dell n5010 13 beep followed by 8 beep problem

  When I turn on my laptop, I get the black screen with beep 13, after 13 beep it gives 8 beep and screen is black all the time, can someone help me solve this problem.

  Please... help out me. What should you do?

  Unplug the system, remove the battery and then take a look on the cable that connects the screen and card mother - disconnect and reconnect the ends (the motherboard and the rear of the Panel) and check for damage in the connectors and drivers - if it is damaged, replace it.

  This may be enough to solve the problem.  If not, next would be to replace the display board - and if it does not, replace the motherboard.

• Reference Dell 968 AIO, Windows 7 on Dell Studio XPS - messed up

  I have a Dell 968 AIO which was printing on the use of pilots (probably the original) on my Dell XPS Studio 8000 Win 7 pc, a week ago. He stopped printing a few days ago.

  I assumed the problem was the drivers and not the ink. So I tried to install the new drivers. It does not solve the problem. Indeed, the new drivers would not install completely. When he got to the last step of the installation the Setup program just hung. More on this in a minute.

  I bought new ink cartridges and allowed me to test the 968 printer and it prints very well now.

  However, when I tried to print a document from the computer.

  I tried to uninstall the old drivers and reinstall new drivers. Unfortunately, I got the USB cable is plugged. So I have messed up, and it would not print. He could not "locate the file. I tried after I unplug the USB stick and a running registry cleaning. Still no luck, but worse, I noticed that the installers had left a lot of luggage around.

  • There is a folder c:/dell/drivers/986, which seems to have a lot of the old drivers.
  • There was a folder c:/program files (x 86) /Dell AIO Printer 968
  • And there is also a folder c:/program files (x 86) (x 86) /Dell 968 AIO Printer.

  I followed the steps for a clean uninstall, and it is where I am now. However, there a lot of carrying files around in Dell matter folders on my hard drive.

  I'm sure I made a complete mess of things, can anyone help?

  Wendy,

  When you reinstalled the operating system, have you installed the desktop system software / laptop (as appropriate) and drivers from the chipset first? If this is not the case, the rest of the drivers will not install. How to download and install drivers in the correct order

  Start with the computer system software and the chipset drivers and follow the list.

  Once you have corrected, then we can work on the printer.

  First run, delete print jobs to eliminate any print job stuck in the queue.

  Unplug the printer.

  Download and run the patch (cleaning printer utility) until it prompts you to restart your computer.

  Restart your computer. Make sure that the printer is deleted. Driver Manual printer removal

  Download the 32-bit drivers for Vista for Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 64 bit Vista. Install the Vista drivers in Vista compatibility mode, you will get a message, the printer is not connected. Connect the printer at the moment (power on).

  You will find links to the patch/drivers to...

• DELL Dimension XPS T800r CMOS Maintenance Mode worries...

  Greetings, good people of the world of DELL!

  I'm working on a desktop DELL Dimension XPS T800r for a neighbor.

  The original complaint: no video

  Some things have changed since yesterday when I worked on it, then read on...

  Here's what I've done so far in order:

  (855) 935-7526 *. Exchanged video from a well-known donor cards.  No change.

  2. the DIAGNOSTIC LEDS on the back panel has found.

  3 DIAGNOSTIC LIGHTS remain DARK during the start attempt.

  4. consultation documentation DELL for LIGHT codes DIAGNOSTIC.

  5. the code is: All the DARK - turns on by default.

  6. again consulted the DELL documentation to identify what to do:

  (a) reinstall microprocessor

  (b) remove all the expansion cards

  7. After you do both.  No change.

  8 using the prior computer knowledge, I pulled ALL of the motherboard except the feeding fittings and connections on the front panel.  I unplugged all connectors power hard drive as well.  I left only the CPU fan connected to the motherboard.  I checked the power supply against DELL standards and all is good.

  9. now, knowing the CMOS batteries, I checked the voltage on board.  He was 3.1VDC.  Seems good.  I didn't want to remove it, so in order to make sure it's properly plugged in, I turned the battery making to create a better connection.  That's where things have changed since yesterday...

  10 leave the BARE Board, I plugged it in to the power supply.  Silence.  Only the yellow led on the motherboard lit up.

  11. I installed the CPU and VIOLA!, LIGHTS flash YELLOW for a second DIAGNOSIS, and both fans turn quickly upward, then will stop altogether.  The yellow led on the motherboard remains on.

  12 DELL documentation contains this code to represent: card system is powered,
  but the BIOS is not executed.

  13. I think turn battery CMOS created a better connection (the computer IS almost 16 years old) giving me a response to market now.

  14. I tried to reinstall everything and document what happens after turning the power on.  Nothing changes beyond this point.  LIGHTS DIAGNOSTIC flash YELLOW briefly, and the power supply and fan rotation CPU for a second, then stop.

  15 DELL documentation suggests putting the system in MAINTENANCE MODE by the CMOS jumper

  This computer is almost 16 years old, and very probably, the owner has not saved the BIOS settings.

  This is what is installed, before the Panel:

  A CD-ROM drive

  An IOMEGA Zip drive

  A floppy drive

  Now to the question:

  Since I have no way to backup or recover the CMOS settings, I hesitate to put the jumper to MAINTENANCE MODE to see if the computer will boot all the way to the top.  I'm not potentially make the computer unusable in maintenance or replacing the battery mode, even though I would replace the battery because of the line due to age.

  The DELL documentation:

  NOTICE: Pass by the maintenance mode returns all settings in the
  Installer system to their default values. Dell highly recommends
  that you save or print the current settings before entering in this
  mode, so you can fix them when the system is reset to normal
  mode.

  What do you think will happen if I reset the default BIOS by moving the jumper and replacing the battery?

  I will cause a catastrophic failure?

  Now, the other side of the coin is that the system is relatively basic, so I have to enter the starting sequences and other isn't a big deal.  I hope...

  At worst, I'll have to use a drive caddy to retrieve its data from the hard drive.

  Thanks in advance for all your help and support!

  Austin Cajiao

  In case it helps someone, re-seats maps microprocessor and expansion got the computer fully functional again.  I guess that for a computer in 16 years, the tabs or oxidize some and created resistance which forbade the computer recognition and power.  It works fine now.

• Reference Dell E6420 randomly not SSD detection at startup

  Specifications of the computer:

  Dell Latitude E6420, Intel Core i5 2520 M, 2 x 4 GB = 8 GB of RAM, Nvidia NVS 4200 M, 250GB HDD, Win 7 Pro 64, Bios A23

  The value of operation SATA AHCI and not quick start. I have 3 of these computers. They are all out of warranty.

  I replaced the original 7mm Hitachi 250 GB for the Intel 535 240 GB SSD HARD drive.

  I used Acronis True Image 2016 to clone the hard disk SSD. Cloning process is very much like on any other computer.

  The problem is that each cold 4 or 5 boots the computer cannot find the SSD drive. Restarting the computer solves the problem of that time. I have to find a solution. I want to sell them with a SSD and not with a HARD drive.

  I tried the things:

  Update the Bios of the A14 to A23.

  Put a spacer of 2mm on the SSD and of course the resettlement of the SSD.

  Exchange for another Intel 535 120 and 240 GB.

  Clean install of windows I knew was a waste of time because it does not affect the BIOS does not detect not things.

  Googling the problem for hours.

  Call dell?

  Use another brand of SSD? He probobly won't make any difference to look at other threads.

  Use a HARD drive? Last resort. I can't stand slow hard disks regularly.

  Reference Dell E6420 seems to work with a Samsung 850 Evo 250 GB instead of the Intel 535 very well. Tested over a period of 3 months with no problems. Threw 535 readers intel in the desktop instead.

• Cannot start Dell Studio XPS 9100 - is the PSU?

  These symptoms are compatible with a faulty PSU?

  I have a 4 years, processor Dell Studio XPS Desktop Intel i7 960 (expired warranty) 18 GB DIMM: 64 Bit Windows 7 ultimate OS.

  Computer will not start. (Dell 0M1J3H 525W) POWER supply has a green LED on the back of the envelope of the computer with a black switch diagnosis. When the computer reads the green light is on.

  If I press the Start button nothing happens - the white light on the Start button does not illuminate. But if I press the button to start for at least 12 seconds then release and press it again the logo Dell at the edge of the bezel turns on for a second and the fans turn at 20 degrees, but the computer does not start and there is no light on the Start button. The same thing happens if I press the black test on the power supply switch after the button of start for about 12 seconds. If I quickly press the test switch repeatedly from 40 to 50 times, four fans will turn a little bit but stop as soon as I stop to press the test switch. If a power is to learn in the light of the collar and the fans, but the computer starts and the green light does not go or flash. As directed by Dell, the green light is supposed to be activated when the current flows through the power supply and the green light is supposed to flash if I press the test switch when the computer is turned off.

  More Dell' diagnostic instructions I disconnected the motherboard and all the readers and the video card in the PSU, but the test was always negative, that would normally indicate a defective power supply.

  However, if the front bezel blinking on and fans to be powered for a fraction of a second, which excludes a failure of the power supply?

  GENERAL INFORMATION: One night several months ago fans have started racing as the computer was overclocking but my meter showed only 30% CPU usage. Computer subsequently began to lose power and restart at random times.  No crash dumps or stop. Just a loss of power and a reboot. Sometimes the auto restart would work and sometimes it wouldn't. When the computer restarts will not it will not re-start and there was no light white or orange, when I pressed the Start button. If I hold the start 12 seconds or more and then released it and press start logo collar flash momentarily, but no start and no other light. I would try restarts several times, sometimes by pressing the button start hundreds of times before the computer would finally boot. When you start the computer it would normally sometimes several days before losing power again.

  The last restart was more than a week and the computer normally lasted more than a week until yesterday when he lost power.

  I think that the power supply may be bad. But the only other time that I replaced a power supply on an old HP Pavilion. In this case, the computer was completely dead. I'm confused by the momentary illumination of the Dell logo on the collar and the shaking of the power to the fans. Which excludes a failure or default PSU?

  The button BIST says that the power supply is bad.  The BIST button isn't the power button.

  The LED on the back does not mean that the power supply is good.

  The BIST (built in Self test) is LED and button are for.

  Some Dell computers have power supplies that include a self-diagnostic function. The test for power button is visible at the rear of the system. This witness is not the same as the power led on the chips on the motherboard (which said also only + 5VSB does NOT work the power supply is OK). Press and hold the switch self-diagnosis of food-

• Reference Dell pc with xp family. Restart to the logon screen

  Reference Dell pc with xp family. Restart to the logon screen. starts ok in safe mode. run msconfig and do that no change then do restart ok everything ok until the cold start, then hand it to restart?

  Peek into the registry to find clues.

  Disable the automatic restart in case of system error and see if you can capture a message of error checking bug (BSOD) with useful information.  Automatic restart in the event of system failure can be disabled in the F8 advanced boot menu, or you can turn it off in system properties.

  1. right click on my computer and select Properties.
  2 - Click on the Advanced tab, and then click on the Start button and recovery settings.
  3 clear the automatically restart box and OK your way out system properties.

  Start the computer in a Clean Boot State, if the computer starts successfully in a clean boot state, then one of your user programs most likely problems, look in the case of journal of indexes.

• Reference Dell Vista stuck in a reboot loop must restore

  I have a dell desktop computer I bought from rent a Center about 2 years ago. It comes with Windows Vista. They don't did me not a recovery disk. I had a lot of questions and restore points were not helping, so I went through f8 and fact a reset. After that she completed successfully I clicked on finish, and it began to restart, which I expected.

  Now, however, he is stuck in a reboot loop. It gets to the screen that has Dell on this, with the f2, f12 options in the right corner, and then start again again and again. I tried to press f8 and hope go in safe mode and see what was up, but f8 does not open and f2 and f12 are not help at this point. they give me boot priority and so on but no real start until now kind of options. It is possible that windows doesn't have factory loaded, and now I have simply no operating system?  They say they have a reset disk can I come down and use, but im wondering if this will help because I can't really get anywhere or if im just done...

  No messages online that I was looking for really specific my situation...

  Hello

  ·         Did you follow the steps in this article to restore the computer to factory settings?

  If a factory restore full does not lead to a fully functional version of Windows then you have a hardware problem. I came in contact with Dell technical support.

• Inspiron 3650 does emit any beeps at startup upward. Does?

  Seems to work well, less than a week old. I was expecting a beep at startup upward, but I hear nothing (unless it is very quiet) I should wait for a beep code. Unable to find anything in this regard in the manual. I have a S2316H monitor with built-in speakers attached via the HDMI.

  Any thoughts appreciated please. Thank you.

  With more recent versions of the UEFI BIOS, there is no beep at the STATION, unless there is a problem. Now, the POST beep means generally: card system: the BIOS ROM failure.

  A while back, Dell has a brand-new model giving the 'normal' beep at the STATION, but confused users with the motherboard beep fault code beep.

  This led to many mothers unnecessarily replaced under warranty. Dell has subsequently removed the 'normal' beep to the STATION in a revision of the BIOS and saved the lives of many mothers!
