• Dell Dimension 5000 replacement PSU

  I have a Dell Dimension 5000 bought in 2005, still under Windows XP.

  After being off for a week, I recently tried it lights up, but got only a flashing orange power button. After reading this thread I tried to jump the power supply to the power connector motherboard from green to black as suggested, and nothing lit. So I guess that the PSU is dead and must be replaced.

  I also read this thread a person with a similar problem.  My power supply model number is L305P-00 and reference number 5032 (CN - 0d 5032-71615-513-06BE), exit 305 w, and it has a connector ATX 24, 2 SATA connectors, etc..

  I'm hoping to replace the PC soon, so don't want to spend too much on the power supply. Corsair were recommended as a good brand, but they are quite expensive, so I was wondering if this PSU Novatech would be suitable? I think they're a renowned brand. They sell as well others and I don't know what the difference between each one, apart from the power and the fact that some are not modular, other semi or fully modular.

  The Novatech £19.99 would be good enough to get my PC up and running again, or that others would recommend?

  Dimension 5000 does not use a power supply owner Dell, most of the blocks of ATX power supply with a 24 pins, power connector 4-pin main card mother 20 + or with, or can be used without the power switch, a power supply with two SATA and molex power two connectors 4 pin is necessary.

  You should be able to buy a replacement power in a store of the local computer or online.

  The Novatech 500W ATX Power Supply, as shown in your link should work...

• Replacement of power SUPPLY Dell Dimension 5000 block

  Hi - I have a Dell Dimension 5000 (around 2005) with a duff ATX PSU.

  Dell p/n is CN-OC5201-17972-51R-1CNV and the model # is N305P-00

  I looked on this forum and the recommended not only equivalent Dell PSU (Antec TRUEPOWERII IPTI-430 430W ATX12V 2.01 Power Supply) does not seem to be available (UK).

  Does anyone know of a compatible brand/model power supply that I can replace my diet duff with or where I can get a direct replacement from DELL for a reasonable price?

  I think my power supply DELL has these connectors:

  P1 - power of card mother ATX 24-pin
  P2 - 4 motherboard power PIN
  P3 - 4 SATA connector
  P5 - Ditto
  P7 - connector floppy 4pin
  P8 - 4 Molex power connector pin
  P9 - Ditto

  Any help would be appreciated...

  Thank you

  Corsair is an excellent brand of food, with a good warranty

  The Corsair CX 400W ATX2.2 Power Supply, would be compatible with the Dimension 5000.

• Dimension 5000 graphics card update.

  Hi, thanks for reading.

  I have the map of X300SE graphics by default for the Dell Dimension 5000 but want to update the map.
  As you may know, the PSU has 305 w and isn't a thing of connector 6 pin.

  I am currently interested in the Sapphire HD 4670 Ultimate Edition but I was wondering if it is compatible.

  Thank you very much.

  PS - I understand that this is not the right place to post, but I have one last question on the installation of a second hard drive.
  I wonder if the Dimension 5000 is compatible with SATA-II hard drives? It requires no jumpers or is it just plug/install and format and go?

  Thank you very much.

  Hi Nodame. Your manual is HERE. Cards that would take yoiur system are the 9500GT, 9600GT and the map of your after, the ATI 4670. Manufactors overstate the power for their cards a dell underestimate the power in their PSU. With respect to the hard disk, yes a SATA - he's will work in this system, everything that you have to buy is the SATA data cable. An additional power connector should already be in your system. Here is a link to the 4600 series ati.

  We would now like to add an another DVD burner or another hard drive IDE - anyway we need more IDE connections.

  Can we just add an another IDE controller in one of the free PCI slots?

  Will any make/model or someone at - it recommendations?

  
  

• Dimension 5000 - DVD

  Hello

  I'm a learner when it comes to my computer so please 'talk' to me in terms real simple.

  I bought my Dell Dimension 5000 in February 2005.  I have been download my digital photos and did some backup with CD RW.  However, there are far too many pictures and that it would take about 40 CDs all of them downloaded then someone suggested that I have burn on a DVD.

  When I returned to the United Kingdom (am living in the Dom Rep) I bought a DVD-RW and the guy asked if my system used 'positive' or 'negative' DVD - this flumoxed me!  I guessed "positive", whatever that means.  I tried to burn my pictures on the DVD, but it does not work (I can watch DVDs and can burn CDs without problem).

  I bought the wrong DVD, do I need to install something on my computer to burn DVDs? Please help this dimwit... :(

  Thank you

• Dimension 5000 HDD speed

  I currently have a 250 GB HDD SATA I. (1.5 Gbit / s)

  OK, here's what I want to do. I want to accelerate the speed of access/write on the HARD disk:

  * Dimension 5000 motherboard is able to use the SATA II 3 Gbps speed?

  * If I plug a second HDD, can I use it in RAID 0 with my existing HARD drive?

  (Note: I just updated the bios and I'm still not a table option, just normal/mixed.)

  
  

• I have a Macbook Pro (17-inch late 2011) is fully compatible with El Capitan and Maverick. I'm a little hesitant to upgrade. Tried before with e lCapitan and was NOT successful Please HELP

  I have a Macbook Pro (17-inch late 2011) is fully compatible with El Capitan and Maverick. I'm a little hesitant to upgrade. Tried before with e lCapitan and was NOT successful Please HELP

  Why has been upgraded to El Capitan failed before?

  The only problem is that some applications require the upgrade and some devices that connect to the computer require updated drivers up-to-date. The problem is that for some devices and applications updates are not available and so they do not work with El Capitan.

• El Capitan upgrade must be done with a clean install?

  Hello

  El Capitan upgrade should be done with a clean installation, as opposed to an upgrade?

  I don't know how to do this, or what are the advantages and disadvantages?

  This means all the software on my computer is deleted and I need to re - install all the applications (if installing a clean)?   I think not so thought I had better ask!

  Best regards

  Mike

  If you have existing question in your system current, then things could get worse if you upgrade simply. My personal choice is always do a clean install of newest version of Mac OS X.

  How to prepare your Mac OS X 10.11 "El Capitan."

  OS X El Capitan-download and Quick Installation Guide

  Make your own installer from El Capitan flash drive using the El Capitan tool:

  Be sure to save the installer in the downloads before installation folder, otherwise it will be deleted once the installation is complete.

  You can create an installer of flash of El Capitan via the Terminal drive. El Capitan has its own manufacturer Installer integrated that you use via the Terminal:

  You'll need a freshly partitioned and formatted at least 8GBs. USB flash drive leave the name of the flash drive on the system by default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Wait as the full process that will take some time.

  Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following line in its entirety in the Terminal window.

  sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/Untitled--applicationpath X\ "/ Applications/install OS X El Capitan.app.

  Press RETURN, enter the admin password (will not resonate to the window) then press RETURN again.

  You must have setup in your Applications folder or change the paths in the command line above.

• I have a computer that has Windows 2000 Pro, I can use the disk to upgrade to Windows XP with this OS?

  I have a computer that has Windows 2000 Pro, I can use the disk to upgrade to Windows XP with this OS? It's

  an old computer, but it works very well.  I want to switch to XP using the Windows upgrade disc. But

  in the specifications it lists only 98, 98 Second and ME as an operating system you can upgrade.  Thanks John

  Provided the specifications of the computer meets Windows XP you can switch from 2000 to XP. If it does not meet the specifications, you may upgrade the computer first or get a new one which is more cheaper today.

  In addition, please note that you can only switch to Windows XP Professional. If it is a home edition you have then it will not work. You can refer to the link below on how to update your copy of Windows 2000 to Windows XP Pro.

• How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  How can I reinstall Windows XP?  I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records.  I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM.  It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

  Upgrade/license transfer

  I have purchase Windows 7 business plan and upgrade my Vista Business retail version to Windows 7 Pro.  Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

  If you use the license professional Vista as the operating system with a Windows 7 Pro upgrade license then no, you can't continue with Business.

  If you use a copy of the licence of right (standard retail) Windows 7 Pro then Yes, you can reuse the company to upgrade XP.

  Upgrade license replaces the license qualify you for the upgrade license.  That's why the price is reduced from the price of a copy of the full license.  In this case, a license of Windows 7 Upgrade binding Vista Business license to the Windows 7 Pro license and operating permits would be free not to use it elsewhere.

  How install Windows 7 Pro has no importance.  If you use an installation upgrade or new installation method, what matters is the license of Windows 7, to level or standard (full).

  Buy a copy of the full license of Windows 7 Pro to do what you are suggesting.
