• Update the Dell Vostro 430 graphics card

  Hi, I have a question about the change in my video card in my old (well, not this old) abandoned Vostro 430. It has a block of power SUPPLY 350 but I bought a GeForce GTX 650 (because who reads the instructions?) who says that it requires a power supply of 400. Can I go out with a 350 for a while until I buy a block of POWER 400 in a month or two from here or I'd end up frying my card?

  Hi WheresThePowerButton,

  As shared earlier, I found a few references online where the users were able to use successfully the GTX 650 with 350W power supply. However, if you run demanding or graphics intensive applications requiring treatment capabilities more heavy system, it will lead to a power load. In such a case, the system could overheat and even stop abruptly for lack of power. The results are uncertain and could cause damage to one of the components including the motherboard, CPU, or hard drive.

  The required power cannot be calculated only video card. It depends also processor, no. memory, hard drives, optical drives connected, internal expansion cards or external peripheral attached to the system. During my research, I found that various manufacturers of power supplies have a tool of calculator of electric supply on their Web sites that you can use to calculate PSU for your system requirements. One such example is here.

  Note: The link above is only for reference purposes. Dell has not tested or subscribed to these tools.

  The power computed by tool is approximate energy required by your system. In my personal experience, I have observed that the power supplies can not operate at 100% efficiency. If we take efficiency PSU to be around 70-75% and that if the tool calculates your condition of approximately 300W system power, need you a power supply at least 300 * 100/75 = 400W. For more information, refer to link here.

  I hope this helps.

• USB-9171 installs as USB Flash Firmware Updater

  I just got a USB-9171 with 9401 module.  Try to install it on a laptop Dell Vostro 64 bit WIndows 7. LabVIEW 8.5.1, which works very well with a USB-6212 for awhile is already installed.  I installed the 9.6 NOR-DAQmx that came with the new 9171 and the time of execution of Labview 2012 such as recommended by the Update Manager.  The connection of the USB-6212 he loaded the driver, he recognized in MAX and will work as before.  But plug it in the USB-9171, identifies the driver loaded by Windows as USB Flash Firmware Updater.  The 9171 does not appear in MAX.

  How can I get the USB-9171 driver appropriate to load?

  Thanks - Steve

  Found a solution by calling the service tech.

  Unplug the USB device.

  With the help of MAX, go to tools > reset Configuration data.  This will erase the MAX configuration and restart.

  MAX aperture.  Open the Windows Device Manager.

  Plug the device.

  In the beginning, I received the ball from Windows saying that it successfully installed USB Flash Firmware Updater.  But then on hold while the window updated Device Manager (it flashed several times), he said the right device (cDAQ-9171) as well as the module I connected on the cDAQ-9171, which is a 9401.

  The tech service rep explained that there is a service called Windows device charger OR who must load the appropriate driver, but sometimes the service may stop too soon.

  In any case, I tried all the things here before, but what was different this time was seen both MAX and the windows Device Manager open at the same time before connecting the unit (after wiping of the configuration).

• Speckles Vostro 430 Nvidia GeForce 310 / spots / video corruption

  Need to know what is happening with a Vostro 430 showing tasks / points / spots on the screen. They appear in a session remotely, so part of the video system, not a cable loose. The pc worked fine for 5 years. He has a card Nvidia GeForce 310. I can post a few photos and a video. It happens more when more happens with windows.

  NVIDIA has been quietly synchronization back their popular GPU with updated drivers and prevent overclocking.

  Means lower clock GPU cooler.

  There are tons of posts on the net where people are very angry about this.

• Dell Vostro 430 sometimes breaks down and does not find the hard drive in the bios

  So I have this old - ish Dell Vostro 430, intel cpu, windows 7 hard disk sata 250 GB, 4 GB of ram.

  Update BIOS to the latest version 2.4.0

  In certain exceptional circumstances, this PC sometimes crashes in windows, it is restarted, and then when he comes back it does not find the hard drive as a gift. He is not seen in the bios and does not start.

  To fix, I have to unplug the power cable, wait a few seconds, plug in, reboot the computer and it starts normally, load windows and everything.

  So far, I have tried to paginate on another hard disk, reinstall the Windows operating system from scratch, and same thing happens from time to time.

  It is difficult to find the cause of the problem, because this happens very rarely.

  Sometimes, when the pc is turned on for the first time in the morning, the hard drive is not found by the bios and we reappear at the same trick (disconnect the power cable) to take him back.

  When it crashes when using inside Windows, it seems that the reason is the computer can't find the hard drive.

  Such computer is out of warranty.

  It would be nice to just throw this computer because it is still fine for the work it has to do, + I have Windows and Office OEM license on it, as well as many other software that I have to reinstall etc.etc.

  No idea what I could troubleshoot?

  Maybe change the motherboard? How can I buy a new motherboard for an out of warranty Dell?

  While possibly keeping all the OEM licenses (Windows 7 and Office 2007).

  That will make hard to resolve this situation.

  • Have you tried to replace the battery in the motherboard, if nothing else than to exclude it? CR2032, 3-volt lithium-ion, ~ $2 at discount stores. Do not forget to open the BIOS Setup and copy down all current settings first because remove battery BIOS resets the default values, which is maybe not correct for your specific system.
  • Have you tried another SATA data cable, or reinstall the existing at both ends?
  • Have you reinstall RAM and PCI card in their slots?
  • Have you used canned air to blow out the dust?
  • Maybe a power supply problem... ? If insufficient voltage, he could not start the HARD drive quite fast at startup, or quick enough after your option settings to be able to turn the HARD drive off when it is not accessed, what may cause this error message 'not found '.
  • If you use a power strip or surge protector, have you deleted and the PC connected directly to a wall jack?

  If it is a motherboard defective and you replace it with another jury of Vostro 430, you shouldn't have any problems with Windows or Office licenses. Assuming you are using Windows Dell reinstall for exact same version of Windows drive that was installed at the factory, it should not even ask the product key, if you must reinstall Windows on the HARD drive. But even if she asks, there should be a sticker somewhere on the PC with your unique product key so you can enter if the installer made the request.

  and make sure you have the Office product key too...

• Vostro 430 new video card selection

  Hello

  I use vostro 430 with Nvidia GeForce GT 220, im confused about which cards are compatible with my motherboard, I couldn't find my motherboard on the internet features.

  Is anyone know supports my motherboard PCI - E 3.0, 192 bit GDDR5 cards?

  IM interested with GeForce GTX 650 Ti boost. is this one works with my system?

  Hi armanbicakci,

  Yes, the system motherboard supports video cards PCI X 16 PCI Express 2.0 and comes with power supply 350w.  NVidia GeForce GTX 650 needs 400w power supply with PCI Express 3.0.

  You may need to buy a 400W PSU. The card can downgrade and will operate at 2.0 speed.  Reference Dell configures the following video cards on this system model:

  ATI Radeon HD4350
  NVidia GeForce GT 220
  NVidia GeForce GTS 240
  NVidia GeForce GT310

• Vostro 430 does not illuminate

  Hello

  I've got questions for a few months, requiring several pushes the button to start.  I resolved to never put it off, thinking it was a dodgy button, for several months now.  However, yesterday we had a power cut and now I can't the PC to power everything.  Power is in the course of the PSU indicated by the green light at the back.  I followed some of the steps on this forum for troubleshooting... Disconnected and reconnected connectors etc.  I checked the button itself.  Sometimes when you press the power button I had a glimmer of life - blue light and whir cooling fans, but only briefly, then nothing again.

  Then I followed the steps of TS - disconnect the main supply to the connector on the motherboard and tried to jump over the Green wire to one of the black wires - I get power on the HDD and the DVD player that spin to the top, but nothing else... on each black wire the same result.  Any help or advice or next steps?

  Thank you.

  I guess the likely culprits here are:
  1 switch
  2 POWER SUPPLY
  3 - mobo

  Is most likely 1 and less 3.

  A couple of months, I tried to disassemble the "façade plastic" which contains the diag lights up and the power button on an other Vostro and abandoned after 30 to 60 minutes. I should have had like 9 hands and a bunch of tools made of plastic to get this thing apart.

  I guess you could buy the Panel part/small / whatever has the power button and plug to the motherboard and just leave the inside of the case (ha ha ha ha). Whenever you wanted to start the machine, you must open the box... or just leave the file open / side.

  The next suspect is the power supply. You have another machine with a similar diet that you can insert in the 430? You didn't say if your food is a totally custom power supply, Dell (in general, the size may be customized with Dell) or more like a generic power supply size. When I find the pictures with the words [psu vostro 430] the results look fairly typical. You have a machine that has a ' normal/typical' block of power SUPPLY Antec/Corsair/etc.? These are bets better than an IBM/HP/etc. POWER SUPPLY. I recently tried a beefy server IBM ATX PSU turn in "Dell PC #1" and got nothing. I put the same power supply in a really very similar 'Dell PC #2', and it worked perfectly. A replacement part from Dell to address right would most likely work for you. A ' normal/typical' PSU by Antec, Corsair, etc. would also be a good bet... assuming your Vostro 430 takes a PSU of size "normal/typical.

  Partly you could diagnose your existing power supply by buying a $10 POWER supply Tester, but you will only get so far. I recently bought one of those at Microcenter. It will tell you if the power supply is the production of the correct voltage, but not just any appreciable support being requested by the PSU. If you purchase the power supply Tester and the PSU has failed the test, you know you need a new power supply. But if it passes the test, you may still have a bad diet that initially provides the correct voltage, but fails when he tries to provide any support.

  There are full load PSU testers, but they are rather more expensive.

  I noticed in the thread on this forum called "Is it easy/possible to upgrade from feeding on the Vostro 430?" answering machine said "the Vostro 430 will use a standard ATX 12V power supply. Looks like it worked well here because only the initial poster was renovated to a comfortable level, size, aftermarket PSU.

  I'm not sure that this food is appropriate for you, but the size standard PSU Antec VP450 (aka VP-450) in the 'Brand' line Antec has excellent bang for the buck and is 80% effective. If you look on Amazon or Newegg buyers there are very satisfied. I bought one a couple of years back. Of course for more in $$$ you can absolutely get a PSU nicer (more powerful)... If you need that.

• HP probook 430 g1 with a SSD update

  Hi all.

  I'll be updating my HP Probook 430 G1 with a 512 GB SSD (in fact is 512 HDD with W7 64 professional); Web sites of many factory SSD show the compatibility of their products with my laptop, but Manual HP said that the capacity of the SSD is 128 GB. The cat with the HP support was not helpful. Can someone help me: can I put with 512 gB SDD? I put divers or chipset to AHCI storage level?

  Thank you

  The 128 GB 2.5 inch SSD was just the biggest HP offered to sell the plant. If your laptop has a 2.5-inch SATA drive (some of them operate entirely off small mSATA WSSD readers) then you can replace it with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD of any size on the market. You will not have to pay anything in the BIOS. Your best way to upgrade is to clone the existing for the SSD drive. This should be easy, because they will be very close to the same size. You will need an adapter usb to SATA, but you probably want to get an ayway to continue using the HARD original as external storage drive.

  I use Acronis 2014 Home Edition, but there are several other cloning there, some of them open-source (free). Windows 7 cloning on 2 hard drives of the same size is on the clone easier you will find.

• Card SD & USB issues after update of El Capitan

  Hi all!

  Just updated to Yosemite's El Capitan.  Running iMac (21.5 inch late 2009) - to update of Yosemite point has been completely up to date as well as all software and drivers.  Now problems after the iMac to wake up in the morning with some of the built-in ports.

  1. SD card reader - have to restart so that this works, but only works for an hour or two, it is more readings.

  2 ports USB - external HD holding that nothing else than music files must be disconnected and then reconnected to be recognized and to mount.  Anomaly is that Time Machine on back of the iMac USB continues to function properly and rises when waking from sleep in the morning.

  3-4 ports USB hub plugged back has only 2 operational ports in the morning, must either be disconnected and then reconnected to have all four ports work.  It works sometimes for the rest of the day or only works for one hour UX as well.

  4 keyboard (yes I prefer a cable on BT) takes a minute or two to be recognized after the awakening of fashion 'sleep' in the morning.

  I tried to reboot my machine?  Yes, several times.

  I tried to reset the SMC?  Yes, several times.

  I tried to reset the NVRAM/PRAM memory?  Yes, several times.

  Any suggestions on additional solutions without getting really heavy in the Terminal?  Not really keen to try some of the recommendations Terminal found here on communities, as I do not play with the programming of the OS.

  Thank you!

  Thanks for the nine people who have seen this post.  Unfortunately no one answered, so I 'solved it' of it the only way I knew how.  Rolled back to Yosemite.  I hope that the new Sierra OS will be an improvement on El Capitan.

• Multiport USB - C map update will not install

  I thought that I had the answer to this, but...

  I installed the update of the USB - C software shortly after its release. He reported "Successful Installation", but whenever I started the rMB there was a notification to install the update. A version check ( on a Multiport adapter update 1.0 - Apple Support USB-C ) revealed it had not updated.

  I finally read the instructions on the screen to start during installation and travels account that the adapter needed to be plugged in and connected to a power source. I did this and tried to new installation but still have the splash screen. I tried installing a second time and it finally worked.

  Hi there Michael Paine,

  It seems that the USB - C Update appears to install but you still have guests to update, and it has not actually installed. I'd start by starting in safe mode.  This erases some system-level caches and perform a disk check and repair if necessary.

  Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

  From: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

  Then leave the mode safe mode with a normal restart and check if the driver is still installed, or if you can install it again correctly. If not, you should try to reset the PRAM and new test:

  How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac.

  If it still is not resolved then I would then reset your SMC and give it another go:

  Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, all the best!

• Satellite A660 - boot problems USB after BIOS update

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and have recently updated the BIOS with the latest version (1.80). Since then, the laptop freezes on the splash screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
  It works without the memory flash connected and if I connect it after I enter the starting or the BIOS Setup menu. I can even start her like that.
  As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious regression. Is there a way I can downgrade to the version of the BIOS, or any other way to solve this problem? I rely heavily on external USB drives.

  Kind regards
  Claudiu.

  Claudiu salvation,

  That is really interesting, I have to say so I tested on my new Satellite A660 and Transcend 4 GB USB Stick. Well, I also installed 1.80 BIOS but I can t view this problem HARD drive is set as first boot device and all the other BIOS settings are default. The Toshiba screen and Windows computer starts as usual.
  No problem at all!

  Have you tested different USB devices?

  In General, it is not possible to downgrade BIOS. It is possible to an authorized service because Toshiba on page you can download the latest version only but I doubt it s a bug in the new version of BIOS because it works on my A660.

• HP ProBook 430 G3: USB recovery enough?

  Hello!

  I have a HP ProBook 430 G3 with Windows 7. I think install Ubuntu LTS 16.04 and wipe the drive completely in the process, including the recovery partition. If I for some reason any later wanting to 'factory reset' laptop / reinstall Windows 7, a USB key with recovery media will be sufficient to insert and boot from?

  My thoughts are to use "Create recovery media" in "HP Recovery Manager' to create the USB said. Is it enough to get the laptop to factory condition?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Hello:

  Yes, it's normal procedure to recover the PC when there is no recovery partition, or you replace the hard drive.

  You can also order HP recovery media if the recovery USB disk that you create does not work.

  In the USA/Canada the number to dial is: 1-800-334-5144.

  Have the serial number of the PC handy to give to the customer service rep.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, HP can send you free of charge for you recovery disks, then you can just see if you can order a set for free while you can.
