  This is false, as a greater power supply and can be installed.

  Generic standard ATX power supplies, with a 24-pin or 20 + power connector 4 - pin main motherboard, with or without the on/off switch, would be compatible with the Vostro 220 Mini-Tower.

  You should be able to buy a compatible power supply either a local computer or online store.

  Need a power supply with four SATA power connectors.

  Hello, I just want to ask if my office compatitble with graphics PowerColor Radeon HD 6450?

  Yes. The 6450 has low power requirements and in fact I have one installed in my Vostro 220 s Slim Tower, which has a power supply even lower than that of your mid-turn.

  For what it's worth, I had a 6450 working in a mini-ITX with 220-watt power supply. I had no problems with stability.

• Dell Vostro 200 Slim Tower - for SSD Samsung 850 Evo BIOS settings

  Hi - I am looking to replace the HARD drive in my Dell Vostro 200 Slim Tower with a Samsung SSD of 850 EVO.  I am running the BIOS 1.0.16 and do not see the option AHCI, RAID or IDE only.  Should what BIOS settings I use to optimize the performance of an SSD benefits?

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  I could get my SSD working under RAID (10 Windows) with the following steps (which some may not be necessary).

  1. MiniTool Partition Wizard Bootable 9 CD to clone a copy of the existing for the Samsung SSD HDD (Samsung data migration tool did not acknowledge the Samsung SSD on Windows 10, even though Device Manager it identified as such).  It took nearly 36 hours to clone froma 160 GB 250 GB HDD to the SSD.
  2. Replace HDD with SSD and it started / worked as an IDE drive.  TRIM has been activated and works.
  3. Apply the hotfix to the register noted in the first post of this thread (it may or may not be necessary):
     1. http://forums.HEXUS.NET/motherboards/112584-how-enable-AHCI-RAID-mode-without-reinstalling-Windows-P35-ICH9-ICH9R.html
  4. Downloaded the Intel Matrix Storage Manager 7.5.0.1017 A00 (which is appropriate for the Vostro 200 Slim Tower) from the Dell Web site and run the extracted exe file on the disk.
  5. Opens the folder where the drivers have been extracted and made a right click > install iaahci.inf and iastor.inf files.
  6. Restarted the PC, went into the BIOS and changed the IDE in RAID mode.
  7. When the system is booted, I received the message "Inaccessible Boot Device", so I let the system automatically restarts, go through the automatic recovery/repair options, then follow the guests to launch the advanced Windows options recovery to start in safe mode.
  8. Once in safe mode, I opened the Device Manager, which now showed the following new features:
     1. Disc players
        1. SAMSUNG SSD 850 EVO 500G
     2. Storage controllers
        1. Intel(r) ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID Controller
        2. Microsoft storage controller
  9. The system is then able to start and be used normally.
  10. There are still problems with the Samsung Wizard software, but it seems that it is a matter of Samsung.

  Hope this is useful to someone.

• Vostro 200 Mini Tower trying to start, stops, then resumes

  Vostro 200 Mini Tower trying to start, stops, then repeats until you press the power button to interrupt the cycle.

  The power button is orange and fixed

  The blue disk activity light

  MOBO is lit

  All the fans (CPU, GPU, PSU, case) work

  Removed and reinstalled video card

  Deleted and reinstalled memory modules

  Power connectors to reinstalled MOBO

  Battery replaced CMOS

  All connectors are firmly connected, and yet there seems to be no power to the screen or keyboard.

  I disconnected the power, drained residual power and reconnected the power.  The cycle continues.

  I would appreciate any other suggestions on what I can try (as - why the screen and keyboard are not powered by the computer).

  Thank you.

  The power supply could be good, it is best to test with a unit of work "known."

  My thoughts are, interestingly, spend the money on a 9 +-system years?

  But you can buy a motherboard Dell refurbished/used OEM for $24.99 + S & H from here:

  Note: Unfortunately, while you can make an informed diagnosis, sometimes computer troubleshooting, is diagnosis by substitution.

• Vostro 200 Mini-Tower desktop processor speed limit!

  1. I would like to increase its speed of 1.6 Ghz at least 3.0 Ghz processor. Is it possible & how I can do?

  The Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33 GHz 6 M L2 Cache processor should work fine, in 200 Vostro with the Version of the BIOS, already mentioned in my post.

  Considers that for Quad-Core Core 2 Extreme QX9650 processor, 3 GHz, 12 MB L2 Cache, it will not work with the motherboard installed in your Vostro 200, for a compatible Core 2 Quad, a card mother G33M03 and a 350w PSU is necessary, I believe that your motherboard is the version with a power supply 300w G33M02.

• Request for block of power SUPPLY Dell optiplex 7040 Mini-Tower

  1. the motherboard has the processor power connectors and standard motherboard or owners?

  2. is it possible to replace the stock power supply with a cooler master extreme power 600W more? If not, what more than size of power supply fits there?

  3. is it possible to mount a gtx 1080 in there?

  Hi iamprateekprakash,

  We do not recommend that it works because it has not been tested but according to your discretion, you can try, but as you rightly noted that it might void the warranty with Dell.

• 2nd disk on Dell OptiPlex 780 Mini-Tower

  I want to install a 2nd SATA Seagate 148 gb SATA HDD on my OptiPlex 780 minitower. The drive is physically mounted in the machine and the power cable that extends from the disk HARD existing fits perfectly in place. I had to go buy a 18 "SATA 7 pin data Cable available from the drive to the motherboard.

  Looks like there are two SATA containers-by-side in the middle section of the motherboard. A feed beige plastic and the other in black.

  Does make a difference that the one that I use?

  Is there another container, should I use instead of these?  Locate where?

  After hanging hardware, what I need to do to get the machine to recognize the new HARD drive when booting?

  Thank you

  The colors are to let you know which port is 0 then 1 then 2, then 3, etc. White port is #3 the orange cable goes from the optical drive sata 1 connector blue is the boot disk which is SATA 0. After connecting the power supply and data, you go into BIOS Setup and turn on SATA2.

• Vostro 230 upgrading to Radeon 5830 - what power?

  Hey all,.

  I am interested in adding this Radeon HD 5830 for my Dell Vostro 230.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814125317

  No idea if this should work?

  Can someone help me pick a PSU?  I think it should be to 400W 350W... but which version? 2.2V?

  Any suggestions for these options?

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/ProductList.aspx?submit=Ene&N=100007657%20600014018&IsNodeId=1&name=351W%20-%20400W

  Thanks for the tips!

  Most would not get the HD 5830 older.  You will be smarter get the best HD 6850 for the same price.  It offers better performance and consumes less energy.  Just a single 6-pin PCIe against the two necessary connection to the HD 5830.

  I would upgrade also at least a 500 Watt power supply.  Always get a good brand unit.  Don't go cheap on food.   Here are two that are reasonable in price.

  Here is the 6850 s HD.

• Dell Vostro 220 does not turn on

  Hello I have a Dell Vostro 220 desktop computer purchased in 2009.

  I noticed yesterday that is not switching on.  When the power cord is plugged into the outlet, I see a green light on the back on the power supply (under the voltage 110V setting) but that's all.  By pressing the push button on the front, nothing, absolutely nothing happens.  No fan, no LED inside.

  What can be wrong here? bad power supply or bad mother or push button simply bad diet?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  ndhaya

  It is a Vostro 220 Mini-Tower

  No, the power supply fan does not work.

  Power LED button is also DISABLED

  No there are no beeps at all.

  Apart from the green power light on the back near the power cord, there is nothing else...

   
  ndhaya
   
  First, try to connect the power cord directly into another outlet and see if it makes a difference.
   
  No difference, then replace the power supply with a unit of work to 'know '.
   
  More generic standard ATX power supplies, with a 24-pin or 20 + power connector 4 - pin main motherboard, with or without the on/off switch, would be compatible with the Vostro 220 m

  You should be able to buy a compatible power supply either a local computer or online store.
