• Windows 8 compatibility with Vostro 420 BIOS v1.3.0

  Vostro 420
  Windows 7 64-Bi
  BIOS 1.3.0 (last update, version 2010)

  Hello:

  The Vostro 420 yourself running Windows 8 when it comes out next month?

  And the Vostro 420 DEP support bios? (I read Windows 8 needs a bios with the support of the DEP)

  Thank you

  Hello

  The Vostro 420 has not been tested by Dell with Windows 8. However if you use Windows 7 on your system it will avoid any compatibility issues.
  You can also check if hardware DEP is available on your system by performing the following steps.

  How to verify that hardware DEP is working in Windows:

  1. Click Start, click run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
  2. At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
     WMIC OS Get DataExecutionPrevention_Available
  3. If the output is "TRUE," hardware DEP is available.

  After the official launch of Windows 8, pilots cannot be available on the Dell support site. However, you can always check the site of the manufacturer for the appropriate drivers. You can also consult the following link for more information on the upgrade of Windows 8. http://Dell.to/SyrDsU

• Dell Vostro 420 - fan not mounted

  Hello

  I take my Vostro 420 with Core2Quad Q9650, but I would like to start making serious games with him, and I'm afraid that the CPU fan and chassis fan never accelerate ramp with the heat.

  I ran Prime95 x 64 with HWMonitor, temperature monitoring.  It is in the high 60s and the CPU fan stayed at 1300 rpm or more and the frame of the fan 800 rpm and has never changed.

  I tried to run Speedfan and it has correctly detected the fan speed, but I can't change it.  Speed already shows 100% which is incorrect, because I know that they are not turning at high speed and pressing on the top and bottom in SpeedFan has no effect.

  Can release you a BIOS update that corrects the inactive PWM fan control?

  Thank you

  Edit: I am aready using the 1.3.0 latest BIOS.

  Hello

  It is a Committee of OEM Foxconn (G45A01), and Dell just used a regular Phoenix BIOS (and has not paid for it.  BIOS string reads "Phoenix Bios of demo" or something like that).  There is no fan of detection failure, but I have the original fans in there.

  The regulator detects in Speedfan and the ROTATION speed is displayed correctly, but I can't change the speed.

  It is most likely a very simple solution.  Foxconn could fix for Dell in a jiffy ;)

  Thank you

• Fan power supply ATX Vostro 420 * or shot? !

  I'm looking to replace the power supply in my Vostro 420 with a standard ATX power supply.

  New ATX power supplies have a large 120mm positioned on top of the PSU fan. Does this or *?

  It is important because the Vostro is not really compatible with ATX design - the case has a solid above the PSU Panel so that the power supply unit must be mounted with the fan down on the mother/CPU card. A fan which breath would simply blow the hot air on the CPU.

  Conversely, a fan who * would * hot air from the motherboard in the power supply and on the side.

  None of these options is great.

  I am puzzled how to mount a new ATX PSU and if the fan * or breath.

  What is the best way to mount a new ATX PSU in a case of Vostro 420?

  The shift of the 4 screws on the back, you CANNOT point the fan at the top.  He is pointing down and draws air upward.  Graphics also of VENTILATION at the back. AFAIKT ZERO types bring in air from the rear.  Even the location VENTILATION fans in the back.

  I hear from the front the front of the case.  The power supply is located on top of the CPU fan and hoovers to the top of the hot air and sends it to the back of the case.   This is the norm for almost all Dell I can think.  There are fans of aspiration to the front of the case and video cards and blow hot air from the PSU to the rear.

• Dell Vostro 420 refusing of lights

  Hello.. I just recently acquired an old Dell Vostro 420 pc. There BIOS 1.3.0 and Core2Quad Q8300 processor.

  The question that I have is that most of the time he refuses to turn on. I press the power button and the blue led turns on for a second then turns off. The light on the power supply green all the time it is plugged into the wall outlet. After disconnecting the system from the power outlet for about two minutes and him plugging in, the machine will feed.

  I ran the Dell diagnostics on this machine and reported that everything is good. If I have a faulty power supply?

  I wasn't able to power my Vostro 420 upward after that main HQ was briefly interrupted.  The symptom was when I pushed the power button, click on it once and flashed yellow power light briefly once.  And that's all.  The power of the machine remained low.

  After working on it for a few hours, I noticed that I can always power the machine if I unplug the ethernet cable USB and mouse.  Once the machine turns on, I plug the mouse and cable network back in, it works fine.  Very strange!

  This feels like a motherboard problem?

  Dilip,

  It would take a special function key to turn on the Bluetooth on the computer. You can consult the computer manual or contact Dell for the same thing.

  In addition, you can view the article-

• Vostro 420 USB ports cannot be turned off

  If you stop a PC, provide all power to the USB ports?

  If I keep my Dell Vostro 420, fans to keep silence and the PC shuts off, but it still powers the USB ports.

  Is this correct behavior?

  (I have two other PCs two Dells and when they stopped they provide NO power to USB ports)

  How do you know that the USB ports are always under tension after stopping?

  The answer to your question is "it depends." Some newer computers have PowerShare, which means at least one USB port is still under tension after the stop so that you can charge a device, for example, a cell phone, which is connected to the PC, even if the PC is turned off.

  See specifically PowerShare mentioned in none of the Vostro 420 docs, but this does not mean that it didn't.

  And remember, even if the PC is turned off, the motherboard continues to receive "electricity", as indicated by the LED on the motherboard that needs to be on whenever the PC is connected to a working outlet, even if the PC is turned off.

  You can connect the PC through a power strip and cut the tape off the PC normally in Windows, so there is no power to the wall. And if you set the BIOS to restart automatically after a power failure, the PC restarts automatically as soon as you turn on the power strip. Handy if you connect PC and monitor to the same Strip, so a switch on both and starts booting.

  rather than ask for lenovo or crucial, why not ask of intel chips that manufacturers the inputs/outputs of the memory controller.

  http://www.Intel.com/design/chipsets/embedded/prodbrf/319505.PDF

  It clearly says DDR2 667/800.  Don't be confused that she also mentioned ddr3 support, lenovo only installed on your motherboard ddr2 Sockets, but the GM45 chip can support both.

• Problem with memory DDR2 1 GB card

  I installed a memory card of 1 GB DDR2 PC2-4300 and it caused my system crash. What can I do to fix this? I'm running on an a1340n HP Pavilion with WIN XP Media Center Edition 2005 with Service Pack 3.

  I was trying to spend with more memory. I am the computer must be able to handle up to 2 gigabytes of memory.

  The old card memory is a 16HTF12864AY-53EB1 Micron 1 GB DDR2 - 533 DDR2 SDRAM. The news is an A0TFT PO142131 - T of PNY 1 GB DDR2-533 DDR2 SDRAM.

  I ran MEMTest 4.10 and WIN Diagnostics. I found more than a hundred errors listed on the most recent memory PNY card.  I sent back to the manufacturer, complaining that it was defective. This one is about a week since I received it.  And unfortunately I encounter the same problem.  What should I do to fix this problem?

  Your problem is... The RELEVANT memory Modules (2 different brands!)

  REPLACE... by CORRESPONDENT units. This goal is achievable, if you BUY BOTH! From the SAME place!

• Microphone doesn't work is not on my Vostro 1500 with Vista Ultimate

  I recently received my DELL Vostro 1500 which has a Sigmatel Soundcard and I installed Vista on it and found that Vista had already installed a generic driver of high definition for him. So, I was ok. But then I found that the built-in mic or even an external MIC does not work. I get a harwarde is unavailable or not installed error. Someone help me please...

  I browsed the forums and found a lot of pilots who are supposed to be its Sigmatel for Vista drivers, and whenever I tried to install one of them I get an object not found error or something similar to it.

  I have a dual-boot configuration, so I am running XP as well and everything works fine under XP with the drivers provided by DELL. But not on Vista...

  DELL technical support, it's not what I expected since I recently moved to this laptop from my previous HP-Compaq Presario 6000 and HP support was great, including the live chat with technical support people who helped me with my problems of pilot with this laptop. I now regret to have bought a DELL laptop, since I do not get the kind of service that I expected from DELL. In any case...

  SOMEONE... PLEASE HELP ME!
