XPS 420 CPU Upgrade

• Microphone doesn't work is not on my Dell XPS 420 after upgrading to Windows 7.

  I upgraded my computer to vista 32 bit to windows 7 64 bit about 2 months ago.  Right now, I couldn't get my microphone to work in one of the slots of jack mic.

  First of all, I thought it was the drivers for the on-board his so I tried to update, but it has not solved the problem.  Then I went and got a rocketfish 5.1 PCI Sound Card, which also did not work.  I tried the 'Device Manager' strategy, said on other forums, but the whole place mic scene still gives me the error "Wizard could not be started" I also tried to go into the BIOS and play with the sound settings in there because I've heard of windows 7 may have turned off the sound settings during installation but I wasn't too sure about what to look for what does not solve the problem.

  Should what other troubleshooting technique I try to make my microphone work

  OK, I found the solution:

  This announcement on as many sites I can find because everyone is having this problem. I went without a microphone for a year of good year and a half now, and I was upset not being able to speak in the wind.

  The solution:

  Go to dell.com site > go to home > drivers and downloads > service etiquette > enter your number of service (at the back of the computer) > switch from 32-bit vista or vista 64 according to which windows 7 you are running (I use 64-bit). > Download and install the chip set driver > install > restart > go back to the site of dell > install the audio driver (even if you have installed previously) > restart > BAM YOUR microphone SHOULD NOW WORK :) This is because you must install the driver game chip saying that your microphone is actually the front of your computer (no port in the back) :)  Man am I happy!

• Just upgraded my XPS 420 to Win 7 64 - but where are the drivers?

  As I said in the subject of my post, I finally get rid of this headache known as Vista and migrated to Windows 7 64 bit. The bundle of keyboard and bluetooth mouse (obviously) work on this XPS 420, however, that's about it. Although I was concerned by the prioir to connectivity to the installation of Win 7, I found that it wasn't the problem. In fact, the mouse is especially barely functional. It points, but that's all. Not cut and stick - no nothing. So I searched and searched the drivers for my keyboard and mouse set and were all that I find Vista 64-bit drivers that were not compatible with Win 7. I'm go to Logitech.com, the manufacturer of these devices, but had no luck here as well. So, does anyone have a suggestion as to where I can find the drivers for my XPS 420 computer?

  Mouse = UN733

  Keyboard = M/N: Y-RAQ-led2

  Thank you in advance!

• Struggling micro does not work. Installed Chipset for Dell Xps 420. Has been upgraded from vista to 7 64-bit

  Whenever I plug a microphone, the microphone taken none appears on the recording tab devices in the sound settings.

  The audio jack works well and worked even without the chipset drivers.

  I tried to download realtek but I get an error that says no drivers supported.

  Hello

  I couldn't find an update for Windows 7 for your computer, which means that Dell has not all drivers for this OS on your computer XPS 420. However, there is a driver that is specific to Vista 64-bit, download here: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/xps-420?driverId=4JDG5&osCode=WV64&fileId=2731098634&languageCode=EN&categoryId=AU .

  Another option to consider is to update your video driver to the latest version, download here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-320.18-whql-driver.html (it was released on 23 May). I suggest as an alternative as video drivers often include audio drivers as well.

  Those are the two pilots who appear to be more likely to adapt to your system, and if one or the other does not work you can restore the driver using the dialog of properties as follows:

  1. Go to control panel and click Device Manager.
  2. When that opens, click sound, video and game controllers.
  3. Select the audio driver / video, you have downloaded and installed.
  4. Right-click on the device and select Properties.
  5. When this window opens, go to the tab (on the top row) driver.
  6. Click the Driver Rollback button and left-click on it.
  7. Let Windows reinstall the older driver.
  8. Restart your computer.

  If all goes well, one of these fixes will take care of the problem. Keep me posted.

  Kind regards

• HP Pavilion dv6104ea - CPU upgrade

  Hello I have a laptop HP Pavilion dv6104ea (DV6000 series) with the slower CPU, Intel Celeron M 420. I need to upgrade my CPU. What is the best processor I can put in a laptop? It's Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (SL9SF for Socket M)? I don't know of differences between versions of DV6000...

  http://www.CPU-upgrade.com/MB-HP/Pavillion_dv6000_%28Intel%29.html

  One-piece CPU Intel Core 2 Duo T7200, I tried, but it did not work. Now I don't know if it was a defective part or was not a supported type.

  Thank you

  Units with Celeron processors have a card mother defeatured, who will not support a Core 2 Duo processor. Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See page 3-9. Celeron models have the 940GML chipset and it won't support a processor who has speed, not steps, which were the Core 2 Duo.

  You could install a Celeron 440 at best. 945GM motherboards are very hard to find these days. You can confirm the model of your motherboard by opening the slot of memory and research modules. It should be painted stencil here.

• 16 GB of Ram (4x4Go) supported? OptiPlex 755 and XPS 420

  I have Optiplex 755 and XPS 420 - multiple

  They have little big machines for virtualization.

  I have currently all "maxed out" on them to 8 GB of RAM each, which is the maximum listed for each.

  Often, I found these "maximum" specifications based on the largest available at the time of publication dimm and not necessarily a limitation of the system.

  Or the other of these machines support DIMMs to 4 GB?

  OCZ and Geil have PC800 4x4GB kits available and would be well worth it for me to update if possible.

  Hello

  My XPS 420 unbootable. No display, the CPU fan is running strong and LED 1, 3 AND 4 are on.

  I suspect the motherboard to do toward the bottom.

  Can you help me?

  Some Dell employees can reply to messages here, but the majority of Dell employees involved with the forums are just moderators who do things of course go in soft/correctly and in general, they don't respond to messages.

  Remove all the RAM and then remove the battery from the motherboard. Press/hold power button for about 30 seconds and then reinstall the battery. Now, try to boot with no RAM installed. If you get no beeps of the Tower, it is the likelihood the motherboard has failed...

• How many cables needed to install HD 2nd on XPS 420

  I bought a 2n HD for my XPS 420. I went on the 'Dell' site which had
  'recommended' for my system upgrade parts. I bought a (WD
  Cavier BLK 1 to 6 G/s SATA 7200 RPM 64 MB 5). Whenever I added a second HD
  a pc there was always at least 1 cable/cables available to add at least 1
  additional component. There was 1 end of extra cable, but only 1. Primary school
  a 2 cables. 1 that looks like the extra (I admit this is the)
  ('SATA' because it plugs into the new drive with ease) the second looks like
  like it could be a power cable. I tried to go back to see if it happened to
  the food, but I was unable to follow. The new drive is not recognized
  by 'My computer' or 'disk management '. I could not find
  another cable that was available. I think that if there had to be another cable
  It would come with the new drive or at least, I would have asked if I
  wanted to get it a. I can't believe Dell would have little
  passed up a sale.

  Any
  help in would be great.

  ' City, ' the Sata cable goes to the motherboard.

  Yes, you need a 24 "long cable SATA data with a 90 * L connector at one end, similar to the following

  You should be able to connect the cable to any SATA connector on the motherboard.

  After you have installed the hard disk addititional, check in the configuration of the system that the drive SATA port is connected, is activated.

  See HERE

  Details of adjustment system, are HERE

  After the installation, Windows see the drive, you have to partition, format, and assign a drive letter to the new hard drive, disk management.

• XPS 420 disc swap, no bios access WIN7

  Conducted a successful training cloning with Acronis. Road exchanged USB enclosure to primary disk bay and started the machine. Booted automatic updates and office pilot came down to a new drive, I did not understand since I already had the drivers on the source disk. In any case, I was prompted to restart for the changes to take effect. I chose Yes and the restart process began. My screen turned white and my fan map punt in top and does not stop. After about 5 minutes of waiting I put off the machine. To turn the machine now starts with the fan going top and nothing else.

  I have the old drive and it worked before cloning and backups of the old drive still available.

  I have a feeling that it is a bios problem, but I can't not look at.

  This is my hardware and specific features of the OS

  XPS 420 Core 2 Quad Q8200 - 8 gb/ram

  BIOS A07

  Win7

  New video cards won't let you F2 in the bios on the older Dells.

  I have this problem with the Sapphire Radeon R series cards.

  MODE VESA BACK 103 is not supported if you do not arrive within the bios.

  With the help of a map based nvidia was my solution.

  Windows 7 requires the RST and Microsoft patch before cloning.

  The question of UEFI bios also prevent you to see the blue screen but instead you get a blinking cursor and screen of death then black.

  The patch below should be executed then the cloned drive.

  The latest 15 13 or 14 or 11 or 12 may not work.

  Before 9.x, it was called MSM (Matrix Storage Manager)

  It changed of MSM to RST in the 9.x versions.  You need 9.6 or higher for most readers of 120 concerts.

  IMSM = earlier Version of the driver.

  IMSM is NOT EQUAL to INTEL RST

  Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) version 9.6 and new records sector supports 4 k if the device supports the emulation of 512 bytes (512th). Intel® RST does not support size of 4 k of the native devices.

  What happens if I try to use an older version of the driver?

  If you try to install the operating system on a disk 512th with an older Intel® RST 9.6 version driver, the installation process could not complete.  This driver is not validated with your XPS and may not work at all. There is ZERO support for it if its does not work.  The INSTALLATION of THIS DRIVER if its does not work can lead to the loss of 100 percent of all data.  Do so at your own RISK.

  If the operating system is installed, do not upgrade to Intel® RST 9.6 version without having to reinstall your operating system.

  As the versions date back earlier support ICH Goes Down aka unsupported.

• XPS 420, video card update without changing the power supply

  So I recently did some changes on my Dell XPS 420.  The processor is the same that had been originally purchased, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz, but I upgraded the RAM 6 GB and spin as a Windows 10 Insider Preview OS 64-bit on a partition with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on another partition.  I've also added a new 2 to HARD drive, a USB 3.0 PCI Express card and thinking about getting a 500 GB Samsung SSD EVO. Here's my question though, and it is a video card...

  I want to upgrade the video card, but don't know much about them.  I don't want to touch the food, and I want to just install a new video card.  I do not play video games a large part at all, but I stream videos from my PC if it matters that I've seen people suggest GTX Nvidia as well as the Sapphire HD 7770 550Ti, but I've also seen some people said these cards require greater power than my machine so I am confused.  What is a good affordable video card that would be worth upgrading for me?

  I appreciate any info that can be provided, thanks!

  The TI 750 will not harm your diet or your portfolio. The R7 250 is $99 and the 750 TI is $ 139. It is in the middle between the really cheap and good performance.

• Vista DVD for old XPS 420

  Is it possible for me to buy a Windows Vista Home Premium 32 for my old Dell XPS 420 replacement drive?  I need to reinstall the operating system and can't find my original disk.  I have my product key and service tag.

  Thank you

  Terry

  If you are in the United States or the Canada, you can ask Dell to provide the drive using this form. I don't know if Vista discs are still available or if Dell will charge you for it.

  Otherwise, you can always look on eBay, etc. for a disc. If you buy a disk, it must be the exact same version of Vista installed Dell (e.g. Home Premium, 32-bit) so that your current product key to work.

  But if you are going to reinstall, you might want to consider purchasing a Windows 7 disc with its own valid product key. Run Windows 7 upgrade advisor, free from Microsoft first to see what questions you have going to Win 7

• Equium L20-264 - CPU upgrade

  Hello world

  I have Toshiba Equium L20-264 and I want to move into gear
  Can someone help me please?

  I had already upgraded to 2 GB of Ram, but my CPU is still 1.4 GHz.

  Please guide me what to do and if it supports several Ghz processor, which will be the best place to buy.

  Thank you.

  I assume that you have not read all the posts here in the forum about upgrading the CPU s for laptop?
  Did you?

  Some facts first:
  Update CPU is very delicate and depends on the chipset and BIOS support.
  In case one of the parties (chipset or bios) would not support new CPU, the will to power laptop on.

  Second: the laptop seems to be equipped with an Intel Celeron - M CPU, and I suppose the other Intel Celeron-M CPU be compatible:
  Intel Celeron M 370 (1.5 Ghz)
  Intel Celeron M 380 (1.6 Ghz)

  Everything supports the FSB 400 Mhz

  But guess what? Even if you add the new processor at 1.6 Ghz, the performance gain will be not noticeable. So in my eyes, CPU upgrade for this old book is useless. It won't add any performance benefits.

• Satellite Pro L630 - 14L - CPU upgrade possible?

  Is it possible to upgrade processor in this model: L630 14 L? If yes what processors are supported?
  Another question - my hdmi port stopped working - is the possible replacement?

  Hello

  With regard to the question on the CPU upgrade:
  This question was asked several times here in the forum. I recommend you read the other discussions on upgrading the CPU.

  Usually, the case is simple: the manufacturers of portable don t support this upgrade for clean products. The CPU is delicate because the new processor must be based on two essential elements: chipset and BIOS.

  The laptop supports the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset.
  So, you know, what would the CPU supported by the chipset.
  But like I said above: the BIOS support is also important and finally everything depends on the BIOS whether your new processor works or not.
