• 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.

• Dell Optiplex 755 adding second hard drive

  I have a Dell Optiplex 755 and I would like to add a second hard drive (160GB 3.5 "SATA Hard Drive Western Digital WD1600AAJS) to have more space, because I think that the stock 75 GB is not enough for me. So I wonder if I need a new power supply or additional data and power cables.

  Thank you.

  The mini tour has two positions for the drives.  See the manual...

  NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

  The two positions of hard disks are next to each other.

  Yes, you will need to provide a SATA cable

• Second choice HD for a Dell Optiplex 755

  Hi all

  I just bought a Dell Optiplex 755 to replace the Zino HD 400, which eventually gave the soul. My question is: can I use the hard disk of 1 TB of the ZINO as second player for the 755 and can I buy a plug adapter for the second span Prewired in the 755 that would fit the Zino HD?

  Thanks for any help you can give.

  Will be

  Looks like the Zino has a SATA 2 HARD drive, so you shouldn't have any problems in the 755, unless you have the screenshot form factor that supports only a SATA hard drive, and you may have to remove the floppy drive the other models of form factor, if installed, to make room for a second HDD.

  You will probably be able to use the same data the Zino SATA cable the 755. Read the Manual for more information on the installation of a second HDD in your specific form factor.

• Card mother Optiplex 755 SFF fit in a Dell optiplex 745 Mini-Tower dualcore?

  Hello, I might be able to buy a mini-tower Optiplex of second hand, and I would like to install the motherboard etc. my Optiplex 755 SFF.

  No, it does not.   Of the Board of Directors, the number of slots available, etc. is different.

• Problem with the Dell Optiplex 755.

  Have a refurbished Dell Optiplex 755 with windows 7, only a few months ago.  Sometimes the screen rises all yellow and you can't get out.  Sometimes screen goes all black but if you click anywhere on the screen with the mouse will go up all that is behind the screen where you clicked, but you must do it all over the screen to see what is there.  Now the last week or so whenever you leave the computer and return windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown down.  Can someone tell me what could happen?

  This behavior indicates a video problem.

  A cable loose or damaged video from your computer to the screen.

  A failed video monitor.

  This computer has a separate video card?  If the cable connected to the back of the PC is vertical, the answer is probably no.  If it's a separate video card, you need to open the PC and remove, then reinsert the video card - its called re-seats of the Board of Directors.

  How old is follow you and what type is - LED or CRT.  Is - this really really heavy?

  Remove and check the end of the thread and examine the tiny pins in the connector, none of them are bent?

  The judgment is not likely related to changing the color on your screen.  A number of things that cause, but you need to check your hard drive and check the temperature inside the box.

  Turn off the power.  Hold the button for 7 seconds.  Open the case and see if there is a lot of dust.  Have one of those cans of compressed air.  Blow off the dust from the case.  Pay special attention to the fan on the processor with the fins of the radiator aluminum under him.  Make sure that it is free as well as fans of dust.

  You should test the hard drive to ensure that it is not a failure.  If you tell us the manufacturer of the drive, we can tell you where to find the appropriate software.  In the text box above the globe on the left lower part of peripheral type.  Type of device.  Click on Device Manager.  In the window that appears, click the small arrow to the left of the disc.  Send us the model number, you can see it.

• What graphics card to Optiplex 755?

  I read some interesting things lately, like ' players not to buy jobs ', and there is really not much difference between a high-end workstation graphics card and a high-end card gamer, except the stabile, the ability to render OpenGL drivers and the price, price, price!

  Well, I like the stability, durability and support of a professional computer, so here I am with an Optiplex 755 w / Wolfedale E8400 Core duo 3.0 MHz, cache 6 MB L2, 1333 bus FS. It came with memory 667 MHz instead of 800, but it seems that 667 DDR must be able to feed the 1333 FSB well enough. I just upgraded the RAM max 4 g w / XP Pro 32-bit. Not too bad a machine, to what I studied put them in a graphics card. I must say that I'm not a gamer, but would like to try a few games, maybe FlightSim. I intend to make a video montage of family videos, and wants to rapid processing and output quality. I was called to splash around to be a hardware geek from time to time.

  I knew that slot PCIE-16 version 1.0, so the 1/2 the speed of 2.0. Somehow, I thought that the graphics card would determine the speed, but it was a chimera. Someone told me that PCIE 2.0 cards would not work with a 1.0 interface. (It is also only 1 slot, so no Crossfire or SLI.)

  So I started looking on the cards in PCIE 1.0 game more fast, the 8800 GTS 320 M and 640M. However, I am worried about the basic things 2 - editing of the card in the machine and do not FRY machine. The slot itself is marked 75 W. All comments graphics card I've seen recently are beginning to 130W consumption at idle and go up to perhaps 250W + dependent. What gives? Can someone tell me what means the restriction of 75W Optiplex 755 PCIE-16, and how to know what cards he meet.

  Also, I came to realize after some time and read some post here the mobo is actually an upside in the Optiplex 755 minitower. If you look at the front of the computer almost all the time - all other Dell and most computers I saw - the motherboard is on the right. In the Optiplex 755 system is on the left! This means that the graphics card must go up the face in the PCIE slot. That in itself is more logical, that hot air would rise out of the heat sink, rather than having trapped under the Board (see solutions of Zalman heatsink of heat). However, Dell Engineers put the PCIE slot at the top of the expansion slot. This means no double height, that are better cooled cards. There is also the heatsink shroud / huge CPU fan and case relatively shallow, making it probably can't get a card of 9 or 10 in in the machine. Goodbye 8800 GTS (unless he can stand up and there is a single height - prob 320Mo - ones that work pretty cool)? Opinion, please!

  I found a great deal in a map of the workstation - ATI FireGL V7200 - with total memory 40 GB/s bandwidth and an extension of the removable card, so the length of the map would be good. But guess what, it's the double-height! If only there was a way to hack off the grilled second slot cover, or somehow bend it to fit in the case without voiding warranty! Very frustrating!

  It seems that I am stuck with the 8600 GTS, unless someone can tell me otherwise - please! 512 M GDDR3 is important, but bandwidth total memory is the key - 32Gbytes/s, it is at least half of the 8800 GTS.

  So the next concern is the heat dissipation. When the heat emerges from the graphics card, if all goes well it will drift away from the CPU and not get drawn by the CPU fan on the heatsink for the CPU! Or elevation to kill my memory cards! What is your opinion on this concern? I have to / can I put an almost opposite case fan the CPU fan? Talk at cross-purposes. What about an expansion slot fan? Below of the graphics card, I don't know how much good it would do.

  I found the solution to food. It's a power PC and cooling 500W Dell special edition with 2 metal connectors that are necessary to justify the power supply at the top of the case. I do not think that it is possible to interrupt the power supply comes from the screws? So, which limits your choice of power supply. I had looked at other power supplies, like the OCZ / StealthXStream / 600 watts, but I wonder if that will be suspended correctly. In addition, fan PSU on the bottom of it might be a good thing? -draw the hot air on the top of the graphics card in the power supply? Maybe a bad thing, but the air flow case is generally supposed to be good.

  And then, if I get the 8600 GTS, I don't need a new power supply. I found a post here that says than 305 w as I have a nominal 12V 18 a. well, 8600 GTS needs 30A. BTW, the XFX is a good card? -that looks like what I want to come to - guaranteed for life! I guess that EVGA is an alternative, but I can't find an EVGA 8600 GTS 512 MB DDR3 cheap.

  I'm looking forward to hear your comments and suggestions on a graphics card - less than $200, please! Thank you.

  
  

• 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.

• Intermittent white screen of OptiPlex 755 SFF on POLE

  Hi all, I have a desktop dell optiplex 755 SFF with intermittent white screen when I turn on the PC. Before my problem, I installed the following:

  2 x 1 GB of ram (total ram is 4 GB)

  Radeon HD 5450 graphics card

  TV tuner card

  Everything worked well for 1 year with the installed equipment. I then removed the old cpu E2100 and installed an E7500 requiring an update of the BIOS to A21 to recognize the new processor. The PC has worked for about 2 weeks, until these problems occurred.

  I use the radeon with a dvi cable graphics card to the monitor.

  As already indicated the white screen issue is intermittent, sometimes the screen is detected immediately, sometimes it takes 10 seconds, sometimes up to 1 minute.

  If anyone can provide suggestions I would be very happy.

  You have a lot of Ram.  No amount of removal and reinstallation will solve the problem.

  -green light power not case amber

  HARD drive activity - light flashes (not in a model, but more like something does not work in the background)

  Am I missing something?

  Normal 0 false false false fr X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 well, after you have reviewed your initial post, it seems that my problem was really different. Maybe the solution will be similar...

  My question was after entering in the mode 'sleep', the computer begins to wake up, but the screen will not turn back. After a repair disable all options and the reactivation of one at a time, it turns out it was a BIOS definition after all. Under the section Performance (A17), execution of trust was put on, but below another article, that the TPM has been taken out of SERVICE. Is not a valid config, then turning Trusted execution OFF solved the problem.

  All other possible scenarios works beautifully, btw.  Machine now works beautifully.

  Since doesn't use virtualization I now affecting all the parameters related BIOS OFF just in case.   Hope this helps someone...

• 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.

  Event_Horizon.

  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.

• 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

  Which is the maximum that the BIOS will recognize / support? Can I use a QX6850?

  Thank you guys!
