• Update BIOS A04 to A11

  I work on the update of my components on my Aurora and have already moved to a new GTX 660 and 24 GB of ram so I am experiencing now bottlenecking in games because of my CPU, so I'm wanting to overclock my processor.

  I have an Aurora R1 with an i7 920 and want to update my Bios.

  I saw there was a lot of problems with the motherboards killing when updated the Bios on these platforms.

  I'm curious to know if these problems were never fixed?

  Also suggestions on how to make a USB boot with the right file updating the Bios.

  Thank you

  1 correct because most try to Windows (not even the Safe Mode). If under warranty, call Dell and ask them to help you... free MB if brick.

  2. No, it would be impossible to add Dual-Bios or flashing the BIOS Mode at this point. Not sure why it has not been added to Aurora R4 or x 51.

  3. Yes, do it outside Windows for best chance of bricking of do not.

• Cannot update the drivers on the XPS 8700

  I just bought a Dell XPS 8700 from Best Buy last Wednesday, and now I have implemented and I tried to update the drivers from the product running. After the execution of system analysis it says that I need two drivers updated so I accepted and installed but when I restarted my computer and rerun the analysis system he says that the same two drivers are still needed. I installed these two drivers, four times and they are not yet installed.

  Can someone tell me what is happening and how to fix this. These are the two drivers.

• Dell XPS 8700 - A11 Bios - boot

  I have a Dell XPS 8700. I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to 10. As recommended, I've also updated the bios to A11 (the latest version of the bios). I have a processor i7, 24 GB of RAM and an SSD as boot drive - so it should be a very fast machine.

  The startup time for just the bios (i.e. excluding the windows 10) is 14 seconds - crazy for a long time. It takes more time for the bios to start it makes for the time it takes for 10 Windows to start. Note that the bios startup time is confirmed by opening the Task Manager and looking at the Startup tab.

  My previous bios version was A03, who was still slow to start (8 seconds for the bios to start), but better than the A11. I see that some of the other bios versions after A03 were also slow to launch and I've deliberately downgraded these versions to A03 to improve startup performance.

  How can this bios startup time to accelerate because it does not seem normal to take so long?

  Note: I have external USB hard drives and I tried to disconnect these and it does impact not bios boot time.

  When you say the startup time of 6-7 seconds, you're talking at that time:

  1. Press the button market at the moment, the BIOS is ready to load Windows, but excluding the loading of Windows. or
  2. to completely load Windows, but excluding the BIOS load game; or
  3. Press the button of power both on Windows is fully loaded (i.e. 1 + 2)?

  For 1, I get about 13 seconds, I think, for 2, I get about 40 seconds, to be 53 seconds in total. On paper my PC should be very fast, so I guess that--and kind of hoping if my system is massively under fulfillment - your done 6-7 seconds simply reference to 1.

  Thank you.

• Impossible to 'Reboot' Windows 10 after BIOS A11 on 8700 XPS

  I am running Windows 10 on my XPS 8700, and everything was going fine until I updated the BIOS of the A10 A11 such as recommended.  Now, I can restart is no longer Windows System. If I do, the release of Windows and the system hangs just at the Dell logo. I then have to force the system to turn off and turn back on again. Is it possible to downgrade a BIOS Dell to A10? Dell test it before viewing them online and recommend the update?

  Try turning course starts OFF.  Then start.

  If it starts and fix turn secure startup after you restart with her at least 3 times.

• Dell XPS 8700 - failure of the keyboard when the bios boot (but not when Windows is loaded)

  My Dell XPS 8700 has 10 Windows and a Logitech Keyboard wireless, connected by USB. The keyboard works absolutely fine when Windows has loaded. I have the latest version of the bios, A11.

  However, when the computer is turned on and starts the bios start, it displays 'Keyboard Failure' on the screen for about half a second. When I try to go into the bios setup by pressing "F2" at the counter (I keep typing "F2" from the moment when I press the power button on the computer), there is no answer. The "keyboard failure" and inability to enter the bios setup seems to happen if I do a cold immediately after a stop start, a cold start after the computer is turned off for an extended period or a reboot.

  I tried to connect the wired keyboard original Dell one of the USB ports on the front of the unit (without disconnecting the wireless keyboard) with the same problem at the start of the bios.

  I encountered this problem on versions of bios A11 both A03. I know that in the past, although I don't remember when - I was able to enter the bios setup by pressing "F2".

  Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

  You can try and reset the CMOS. It will return your settings to factory settings, but not the version. Usually, this erases these problems because CMOS stores data editable such as your wireless keyboard settings. BIOS stores the information about the basic material that is unchangable as your keyboard usb, mouse and other essential equipment. If you notice, when you just plugin any keyboard and mouse, its recognized at startup. Your needs software to run wireless device and that is stored in the CMOS.

  So once reset you the CMOS, you may need to then install the wireless software.

  Good luck.

• Tecra A11 - update Bios proposed - needed?

  Hi - I have just been offered a BIOS update for my Tecra A11 - 17N (Via Toshiba Service Station) - updated to v3.10 BIOS...

  Clicking on implementing up-to-date offers no details about what it contains fixes / improves - it is just said basically "install and the computer will restart several times.

  My Tecra works perfectly - no problems at all. Should I ignore it?

  Hello

  In my opinion, the update of the BIOS is unnecessary if you have no problem with the laptop. It turns out that the update of the BIOS is always a sensitive technique and if it s not really necessary, I wouldn't

  I always took this advice; never change a running system ;)

• A11 update BIOS for Inspiron 7520.

  I found the BIOS update for my Inspiron 15R SE 7520 on these pages.

  1 http://goo.gl/dQ74hv

  2 http://goo.gl/pfQBnn

  I use Windows 8.1 (originally system was preloaded with Win 8) which is originally a few small problems as the notification touchpad light (turn on or off the light-small orange LED) is does not, airplane mode has several entries like when you press Fn + F2, airplane mode is on but system shows that it is disabled.

  Is that these problems is resolved in this BIOS?

  Is it safe to upgrade to A11 or is this some sort of BIOS beta?

  Please also may I know the all issues resolved in this update BIOS?

  Thank you.

  I won't hijack your post, but I've been struggling with this laptop and its capabilities. "" dealing with mainly the ATI graphics card.

  I came across another post, who directed me to your question. "' Google '.

  I also found the bios A11 on the website of dell, but when I search or you enter my tag, it only shows the bios update A10.-c' is the bios A11, not recommended? Why do you think that his is no longer available when you select or enter serial number?

  http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/product/Inspiron-15R-se-7520?driverId=XM6VN

  I wonder if you happen to have used the A11? Did you notice a difference? I noticed, that it is said

  (((Reinforced ATI VBIOS for new Samsung VRAM.)))

  Or maybe someone reads this, was lucky enough to use the bios A11?

  Your help would be greatly appreciated.

• Installation of XPS 8700 2nd hard drive. Not recognized by Windows 8, but the BIOS sees

  Hello

  I installed a Segate Barcuda 3 to hard drive as my 2nd HDD in XPS 8700. I connected the Sata 2 port (sata 3).

  In the BIOS, I can see that, under SATA 3, there is a 3 TB drive. But, when it comes to Windows 8, OS does not recognize it. In this regard, any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  For Windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned, formatted, and received a letter from reader, using Windows Disk Manager.

• How to get to the BIOS on new XPS 8700?

  How to get to the BIOS on new XPS 8700?

  This is a brand new machine with Win 8.1, a SSD boot drive, etc.

  I need to get in the BIOS so that I can prepare for the recovery with Acronis backup program. This program will generate a recovery disk or flash drive. If my boot drive does not start, I will use the recovery point, but I need to have the BIOS first try to start from that before the C drive.

  Reading messages on the Acronis forum, I heard for the first time on UEFI - I barely understand what it is - but apparently, a replacement for the BIOS?

  Is it likely that my new machine has UEFI rather than a BIOS? and how do to it? Press a function button for the system to start? A person on the Acronis forum suggested to win 8.1 to restart and hold the SHIFT key while doing.

  I do not experiment on my PC unless I am sure it is the right method. This is my 4th Dell-all previous versions came with a manual that could give me the answer to a question like that.

  The "missing manual" is perhaps on the Dell website?

  Joe

  Your system is UEFI.

  As the UEFI systems start very quickly, you start typing (do not hold) F2 as soon as you power on open configuration. Otherwise, it will just start normally from the hard disk.

  Alternatively, you can start to type F12 as soon as you turn on that should give you a start with options menu to boot from the optical drive or USB. Note: To boot from USB FlashDrive bootable is connected before you turn on the system, otherwise it does not appear as an option in the menu of F12.

  See page 82 in the Manual.

• 4500 s bios updated to update to a04

  I have a s-made Dimension 4500 XP sp3 with bios A03. I tried updating to A04 on diskette. The computer starts with the disk, displays the 4500_04.exe file, is a guest of a:\, then stops. Why does it not to carry out the update?

  The old models as 4500 s need not the bios updates. It really is time to move to a newer model.

  Yes - A03 is the last and latest bios available for the 4500 old s see this page

• XPS 8700 - incompatibility eSATA card

  Hello

  I have read elsewhere on the incompatibility between a Dell XPS 8500 and a PCIe 1 X eSATA card that the user had installed.  The user declares that the card was not recognized by Device Manager and thus went inoperative.  I don't remember the problem is resolved.

  Of course, I didn't read about this problem when I too lived the same problem on my XPS 8700.  I installed a new card eSATA PCIe 1 x slot and Bingo! -absolutely nothing.

  I don't think that the PF to this problem are relevant because the XPS specification is concerned there is no card on board.  Updated XPS to update its BIOS bit after I ordered new computer (about 2 weeks).

  Does anyone have any ideas or solutions to try?

  Is that what someone else has similar problems and, if so, Dell "on the case"?

  Best regards

  Mike

  There are 2 questions and none of them are associated with Dell.

  Safe Boot must be off CSM and legacy with Roma option on.

  The card must be PCI-E version 2.1 or 3.0 to work. The power supply of the bus and clock speed are not compatible to 1.0 or 2.0.

  OLDER PCI - E 1.0 and 2.0 cards will be "seen" because the PCI-E bus will not downclock to version

  1.0 on the X 1 slot.

• Please help trouble Code 43 error graphics card for XPS 8700 (as well as the disappearance of sleep/Standby Mode) (Windows 10)

  I got my XPS in 2014 and my warranty of service completed in 2015 Jan before I installed Windows 10. So since I've upgraded to Windows 10 I started having problems with by XPS 8700. Now, I have no guarantee. I thought he would go better once they have released an update of the BIOS and it did for a while unfortunately in recent months, I noticed two major issues.

  (1) upon the starting and restarting my computer, my monitor does not end up receiving the signal from the computer and remains dark.

  -Checking that it is not a problem with the monitor by testing with other computers

  -J' checked in the Device Manager and there was a next yellow alert for graphic cards / NVIDIA GeForce GT 635

  -By clicking on, he showed me this: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

  Unfortunately, it is not the only problem with the graphics card.

  (2) "sleep" my mode is gone (it is related to graphics and BIOS).

  -J' tried the go in power to add setting but it was not yet listed.

  -I went to the command prompt and looked powercfg.exe that's what I discovered:

  C:\Windows\System32>Powercfg - a

  The following sleep States are available on this system:

  Hibernate

  Quick start

  The following sleep States are not available on this system:

  Standby (S1)

  The system firmware does not support this standby state.

  An internal system component has disabled this standby state.

  Graphics

  Standby (S2)

  The system firmware does not support this standby state.

  An internal system component has disabled this standby state.

  Graphics

  Standby (S3) mode

  An internal system component has disabled this standby state.

  Graphics

  Eve (S0 low idle power)

  The system firmware does not support this standby state.

  Hybrid sleep

  Standby (S3) mode is not available.

  Now I really wish I could start or restart my pc without staring at a blank screen and the problem of code 43 with Nvidia GeForce GT 635. Also, I would if I could have the option to upgrade my PC to sleep. I really miss it and do not have to constantly reboot my computer to be able to see anything on the monitor.
  

  I hope someone can help me with these questions without having to reset the pc and reinstall, all over again, that the problem still exists in other cases (I don't have a copy of the installation of programs pre-installed dells so...). This computer is only 2 years old, it didn't need to be retired.

  NVIDIA GeForce GT 635 (PCI\VEN_10DE & DEV_1280) the card is physically wrong and needs to be replaced.

• Failures of start-up and recovery Dell XPS 8700

  The system is 2 years old.  No recovery image was never created.

  Here are the original symptoms.

  1. cannot start Windows 8.1 on Dell XPS 8700.
  2 OS refresh fails.
  3. OS restore points fail.
  4. OS auto repair fails.
  5 restart the failure of Options (Safe Mode, start Debug mode).
  6. command prompt fails (cannot find all administrator accounts).

  Done so far:

  Created a bootable flash drive. After changing the BIOS setting to boot using the USB key, first of all, the PC started successfully. Then, I was able to access the command prompt and save the user data files.

  Then, I went back into the BIOS and changed the boot order to the internal HARD drive. I rebooted and finally started a reset from the PC (factory restore). After the reset process has reached 4%, I got a reset failure message. A subsequent reboot then gave me an error message file BCD 0xc000000d "the BCD file is missing information". The next restart gave, I can best recall, 'no partition not found on the internal hard drives And I could see no longer the menu of UEFI, just the BIOS (A06) firmware. After change the order of boot and boot to the flash drive, I could see that a lot of files apparently had been marked for deletion on the C: drive as user profiles did not appear. At one point, the flash player had become the C: drive and HARD drive is X:. But which cleared up later. After getting the quick C: folder to the HARD drive, I published the following commands Bootrec /fixmbr and /fixboot, Bootrec scanos Bootrec rebuildbcd Bootrec. After trying to start once more on the internal HARD disk, I had another variant of the BCD file error, 0xc00000098 "the BCD file contains no valid information for the operating system".

  Any chance of recovery in this situation?  Otherwise, I guess we will have to get a replacement drive (that is, SSD) and a copy of Windows 10.   Thank you.

  Hi 2Tallinva,

  Yes, that sounds like a hard disk failure. You can try this site to download a disc Windows 8.1. Of course, a free update to win 10 is better than paying for an OS you already entitled to.

• 3 installation of monitors on Dell XPS 8700

  Hello

  I realize that he had already given a few questions and answers on this topic, but I'm still a little confused, because this kind of thing is not my strong point.  I would be very happy to help here.

  I just got a new Dell XPS 8700 with a videocard of NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 745 4 GB DDR3.  I'm going to need to have a 3 monitor configuration in the near future and I was wondering the best way to make this work.  The video card has 1 VGA - HDMI, DVI-D-1 and 1.  Separated from the video card, there is an another HDMI and a Displayport.

  I have not completely made my decision between 3-23 "or 2-23" with 1-27 "immediately.  (Will not be the fanciest monitors in the world). Exodus 3 - Dell S2340M or 2 of those and pick-up and Ultrasharp for fun.

  I'm not a gamer.  I'm a trader.  I can't manage any lag when updating. I'm not too concerned about the image is as clear as possible.

  Thank you much for the help.

  You can use as well the equipped with an Intel HD4600 video card and a video card discreet if Intel Multi display is enabled in the Bios. With the Intel option enabled multi-display, HDMI on Board will be the primary display and ports on the discrete card screen will become secondary display. Read this article before you proceed.
