• 2 TB hard drive for Dell Dimension 9200

  I have a 3 years Dimension 9200 desktop with 2 X 160 GB hard drives configured as a RAID 320 array.  I want to move to a single 2 TB hard and I was wondering if someone could advise me if a Seagate Barracuda XT ST32000641AS - buffer of disk hard - 2 to - internal - 3.5 "-SATA-600 - 7200 rpm -: 64 MB would do the job."  Otherwise, what is that limit the upgrade?  Is there more to consider otherwise if it is a SATA hard drive? Someone at - it other recommendations? My apologies if this message sounds like it is a novice to updates - the reason is that I am!

  There is no reason from a material point of view that a 2 TB drive would be a problem in the Dimension 9200.  Just considerations common to install a SATA drive.

  You install Windows XP?  If you use the installation disc is a labeled Dell installation disk, SATA drivers can be already integrated in the drive.  Most Windows XP installation diskettes, however, won't these drivers so that the computer hangs during installation, typically have reported that a hard disk cannot be found.  If you find that this is the case, go to the system configuration (F2 during the self-test after starting or restarting the computer), then assign the controller SATA RAID Autodetect / ATA.  This parameter allows to use the native IDE drivers on the Windows XP installation disc.

  If you use Vista, you should have no problem Vista installation media should have native SATA drivers.

  Manuals for your computer are available at support.Dell.com.  The service is currently not available, but should be back before long.

• Dell Dimension 9200 MAX UPGRADE

  As you can tell a Dell Dimension 9200 is a bit old this generation of computers, but I want max to upgrade my PC and my calculations, when I update this baby to the max, it could perhaps better than PCs today, so most important first question:

  1: can I upgrade my power supply? My current diet only 350w, I am able to pass this to 500w by installing a new? Is it possible to install a new power supply on my PC again? If so, which company is the most reliable?

  Thank you for your help, once this question is answered, I think my PC will be a match munching PC

  Azee123

  Yes, the power supply can be improved to a 500w unit +.

  The Dimension 9200 does not use an exclusive power of Dell, you can install most power supply ATX with a power connector 24 pin or 20 + 4 pin main motherboard and this can be purchased in most local computer stores, or online.

  The 9200 has a rear panel open, a diet with or without the on/off switch can be installed.

  Note: You need a PSU with six SATA power connectors.

  When you buy a power supply, check the manufacturer's warranty, plus better, look for one with a minimum of three years.  Personally, I prefer the Corsair PSU.

• The Dell Dimension 9200 graphics card upgrade

  I am looking to update my graphics card on a Dell Dimension 9200 and I was wondering if the Nvidia GeForce GT 430 would work with the pc, I have a Nvidia 7900 gt. I am open to both recommendations.

  My current pc features, Windows 8 version Preview (upgrade to windows 8 Pro in a few days), 4 GB of ram, intel dual core 2.13 ghz.

  Hi gaz492,

  The graphics card you have mentioned should work on the Dimension 9200.

  Food that has been delivered with the computer is 375W which is more than the bloc power to the graphics card. Details of the graphics card: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-430/specifications

  In addition, providing the link for the specifications of the computer:

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

  Add the link to the manual for Dimension 9200, which is also known as the XPS 410:

  There are a lot of compatible adapters to the computer: here is a list of the latest graphics cards that run on the desktop computer:

  1. nVidia GeForce GT 440.
  2. ATI Radeon HD 6570.
  3. ATI Radeon HD 6670 (requires minimum 400W).
  4. ATI Radeon HD 7750 (requires minimum 400W).

  Usually if the video card is updated on the computer, you must upgrade the power too as the power supply on this computer is 375W.

  Answer please if you have any other questions.

• Dell Dimension 9200 (XPS 410) boot - dead?

  5-year warranty, but it is 5 y 11 months unfortunately >:)

  Data sheet: 2007 Dell Dimension 9200 (XPS 410 United States), Q6600 quad core, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB HD, Windows Vista, graphic of 8600GT 256 MB PCI-E x 16, tv PCI-E x 1 tuner card (do not), Dell LCD 22 monitor ".

  Brief history and prob: weird, early on, the hard drive must Access all seconds for a few years, never understand this. 2011 major problem does not start, fan on max, diagnostic light code that turned out be meaningless... surprisingly reinstallation of the graphics card has helped a bit and fact pc usable again... Mistakes became gradually less severe, it was weird. they tried to say it's a software problem, but this seems unlikely since the restore to factory condition (and the loss of some data) had not helped at all. Next years two ok. Two days ago it started not just and necessary a few reboots. Found this morning frozen on the black screen of Microsoft and had to hold power to turn off. (itself awoke to a windows update then died?) Tried to start, but it froze on the start of the BIOS set up screen, no keyboard no nothing and got the same old code "123" diagnosis, but even when there is no such code. Repeated several times. Tried reinstalling video card about 10 times, including the removal of tv card for its use of non - no and light code now diagnosis '34' are for failure possible extension of the map (not the graphics card... but there aren't any other card it must be the graphics card). No picture monitor at all now...

  Reference dell cruise forums seems to accuse 9200 motherboard...
  Can try to reset the CMOS jumper?

  I wish dell had corrected it when it was in warranty.

  Any ideas? I don't have another card PCI-E PC or graphics to cross check... worth buying another graphic card to try? You want to save pc if possible. Thank you.

  
  

• Dell dimension 9200

  Hello

  Can someone tell me what ram I need for a dell dimension 9200 please. I need to replace it, but read that someone used 8 GB and it works fine. Dell has the max is 4gb.please help.

  mandymoped

  Does anyone know if 8 GB will work with 32-bit vista please

  mandymoped

  When you have a 32-bit system, it does not recognize the 8 GB memory, 3±gb, is a 32-bit system can address.

  Basically, what this means, is so that you can install 8 GB of memory in the system, the reason for which it will be not recognized, is mainly due to 32-bit processors and 32-bit memory address limitations on applications.

  64-bit processors & operating systems will recognize the limit of 32-bit.

• CPU upgrade Dell dimension 9200 core 2 duo 2.4 Ghz processor

  I was wondering if someone could help me.  I know that it is not supported by dell, but I want to upgrade my processor at the maximum speed supported by my Dimension 9200... I currently have a 2.4 Ghz cpu and bought an E8500 3.16 Ghz, which is NOT compatible... I was wondering if I could go with an E7300 2.66, I I think the problem is with the speed of the bus--the E6600 and E7300 are the two 1066 Mhz but the E8500 and E8600 1333 Mhz.

  Can anyone confirm that the E7300 2.66 / 1066 Mhz is compatible...?  Thank you.

  Steinomite

  OK so just to confirm that I will buy the CPU... I can get a core 2 duo for a core 2 Quad... as long as I get a Q6700 2.66 GHz... correct? for a Dimension 9200... Thank you.

  Yes, the XPS 410/9200 will take up to Q6700, processors FSB 1066.

• Upgrade to a Dimension 9200

  Hello!

  I bought a Dimension 9200 two years ago.

  I think to do an upgrade of CPU, but I can't upgrade to the DELL web site information.

  My processor is a Core 2 Duo 6400 2.13 GHz.

  Anyone know what is the biggest Core 2 Duo that fits on a Dimension 9200?

  Dimension 9200 supports Quad Core processors? If so, a larger suits you?

  Thanks in advance.

  
  

• Dell Dimension 9200. The orange light flashes. Power disconnect day + this market but stop and it will not work unless that unplugged for a day

  Flashes orange and no lights on the front panel next to the USB ports. (see amber light on motherboard, power button / stop 15 sec + he disappears, but the computer does not start, a few times the fan turned on couple seconds), initially it used to go in the cycle (starts for about 3-5 seconds and stops) several times and the flashing yellow light.

  If I unplug the power cord for a day + and try, it worked, stop and restart immediately worked too but when I shutdown and come after a few hours, it will not start again (power plugged).
  Disconnect the power supply for a day + new and it worked once tried.

  I did the reset by pressing the power button / 15 sec + but no luck. Until a day + unplugged worked so far about three times will try again tomorrow and see what happens if I don't stop the computer ever.

  What a PSU or of the motherboard problem or some other problem? Hope it can be fixed.

  A flashing orange power LED, usually indicates a power supply problem power, given the age of the Dimension 9200, which is highly likely.

  Try to replace the power supply with a power supply of labour "Known", to see if that makes a difference.

  This system does not use an exclusive power of Dell, you can install most power supply ATX with a power connector 24 pin or 20 + 4 pin main motherboard and this can be purchased in most local computer stores, or online.

  The 9200 has a rear panel open, a diet with or without the on/off switch can be installed.

  Note: You need a PSU with six SATA power connectors.

  Otherwise, you can buy a refurbished Dell OEM [Dell P/N KH624] 375w PSU from here:

• Upgrade memory Dell Dimension 9150

  Hello

  I'm looking to upgrade memory RAM on my Dell Dimension 9150 Dual Core (DXP051) clocked at 2.8 GHZ with 1 GB of ram. Motherboard is Dell 0YC523. IGB memory currently.

  Watching the RAM is OCZ Enhanced latency Platinum XTC Edition revision 2 with speed 800 Mhz - CL4 (4-4-4-15) latency. 2 GB

  OCZ recommendation is to increase the volatge of ram to 2.1V on the BIOS but I don't think that this is possible on the Dell motherboard.

  Previousposts research, someone also asked a similar question but for an XPS 720 PC.

  The solution suggested something about SLI or EPP ready... I'm not sure what it means. This means that the RAM must be SLI or EPP ready to be compatible with the motherboard of Dimension I or the mothersboard must be ready for use of these modules of memory SLIp/PPE? Can I use this module and if so, how do I change the voltage or the motherboard will adjust it automatically?

  If not, can I get some other RAM?

  Thanks in advance.

  
  

• Upgrade CPU Dell Dimension 9150

  Hello!

  I have a Dell Dimension 9150 and it has a Pentium D 2.8 Ghz processor.

  Dell.com support lists: processor, 80547, PENTIUM D SMITHFIELD for workstations..., 820 SKT - T, male

  What is the highest and/or upgrade best remaining for the Pentium D processors?

  Where are some of the best places to shop in a relatively straight price besides eBay?

  I read so many messages but still confused.

  Discovered that she can be Pentium D 840, 3.2GGhz, but has noticed that some people say that there is more available as the Pentium D 930, 950 or 945 processor.

  Intel website is very confusing because it does not necessarily list the most valuable info and there are variations within each class of processor.

  I intend to keep (hopefully!) the computer for another 1-3 years (?), have upgraded from storage for 2 hard drives of 1 TB, maxed out 4G memory (although Windows XP won't recognise that the 3.5 G) and has even with graphics card, Radeon 256, X 600 MRMGA 370W PSU +.

  I would like to upgrade processor for video work that I perform.

  Did not notice a fan of the sink on top of processor but check! Will I need one? Thermal glue specific for help?

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  MrMojo1

  You should be able to switch to a Pentium D 960 3.6 GHz

  It is a passive radiator and the fan inside the fairing.

  As you intend to reuse the heat sink, you must plan on his basic cleaning and reapplying thermal paste to the processor.

  Instructions for cleaning and application of thermal paste, are HERE.

  You only need a small tube of thermal paste, it can be purchased from a computer store.

• Upgrading RAM Dell Dimension 4700

  Hi all

  OK I will try once again to this type. The first time I tried to type this my Surface frozen without reason and had to be properly closed. OK, I'll update the RAM on my Dell Dimension 4700 and I need help and advice before I do. My Dell says it has 0.99 GB of RAM installed. I looked inside and found that there are two sticks of 512 MB of RAM. I found (2 sticks of 1 GB) 2GB of RAM for Dell Dimension 4700 at amazon.com and intend to purchase that. So when I update the RAM I get two sticks of 512 MB and replaced with new 2 sticks of 1 GB from amazon? Are there precautions should I take? (In addition to wear an anti-static wristband) Thank you.

  Before you buy, go to http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner

  Download and run the Crucial scanner.  This will tell you:

  • supports memory of how many are in your computer
  • How much memory is in each
  • the maximum memory that can be installed on your computer and how
  • the right kind of RAM in your computer

  Do not buy crucial, but pay attention to what the scanner says that you need.

  In short, if you have only two supports from memory, then Yes, you need to remove the memory that is in them to put in new RAM.  However, just because you can buy two memory modules of 1 GB does not necessarily that your motherboard will accept them.

  When replacing memory.

  See http://www.crucial.com/wcsstore/CrucialSAS/pdf/install-guides/ram/crucial-dram-install-guide-en.pdf

  • take precautions against static - touch the chassis first; do not touch the contacts of the RAM modules
  • Unlock the pliers and pull it up
  • Orient the new module properly - there is usually only one way correct to put in - and push straight down firmly, but without wavering until closing locks.

• To clean or not to clean. Dell Dimension 9200 Quad Core

  I use two very old Dimension 9200 Quad Core computers that perform very well indeed and all I want to do.

  I was considering to remove the radiator and the fan to clean any dust and dirt on but don't know if it of a good idea or not. I am aware that if I do that I'll have to remove the old thermal paste and replace it.

  I take an unnecessary risk in doing this, and it is maybe just better left alone?

  If I do what is best to use to remove the former compound and is there a particular type of thermal paste, I have to present a new request?

  With computers that work OK, the best choice is to leave it alone. Look inside to see if any animal hair, dust or dirt accumulated. Clean carefully and leave the single cpu.
