XPS 420 Fan upstairs with no start-up of the thread

Hello world

I have a Dell XPS 420 and whenever I turn it on, the fan goes really high, and Vista does not start. Sometimes I can turn it on normally, but this is rare, and most of the time the fan will continue at full power as soon as you push the button. I use a moment when the computer works for this, type that Vista has started today. I took the power supply cord and recovered many times and I turned off and turned it back several times too, but usually, it's the most unexpected times when it actually starts. If anyone else has had this problem or does anyone have a solution?

1,3,4 lights if they stay on and get each time are not documented HERE the NOTES of the ADMIN: broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

in general, this means a motherboard failure. Since you say that you can get this to do several times, then I suggest this.

Remove all external devices other than keyboard, mouse and monitor. try to start.

If no change starts from within. remove all ram, cards, disconnect the readers. Press the powerbutton. Not all indications, listen to the beeps, watch the lights, look at the power button. the fact you are saying keep it blue indicates it is not a power supply problem.

Now, we must reduce it to a component or the motherboard.

Yes, I'm aware that the diagnostic lights sequence during startup. Its when they stop it is important.

  • Fan Dell XPS PC upstairs with no start-up of the thread

    Hello

    There is a strange problem in my PC. Recently, I haven't used the PC for a few days, but when I turned it on today, could hear a fan noise noisy coming to the PC with the diagnostic lights 1, 3 and 4 illuminated and a white screen in power save. I tried to understand what happened and when I pressed on the DVI plug into the slot of the PC, the PC fan slows down (at normal speed) and the PC began to start. It happened every time you start (in this case, twice). Remedies?

  • 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?

  • Problem with XNET start VI after the creation of sessions

    I have a timed loop sending CAN messages via XNET screws. It works great, but I always lose the very first message. It matters little, I send the first message immediately after you create the XNET session or after a few milliseconds.

    The attached screenshot shows the initialization of my four sessions XNET. Although I am starting before the session with an XNET start VI, there is without success to get the first message.

    It seems that the sessions/CAN (selectable cards and HS CAN) interfaces are initialized only after the first call to write XNET. XNET write seems to imply XNET start (see documentation), but the appellant XNET start manually after the creation of sessions does not help.

    What I'm missing to get the interfaces online and ready before you send anything?

    I was able to solve this problem because they did not actually XNET screw sorry for this post.

  • XPS 420 Blu Ray does not play because of the HDCP copy protection

    My powerDVD program displays an error 0110 that she cannot enable HDCP encryption and stop play on blu ray movies using the DVI - D connection. Plays well with VGA cable.

  • 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

    I have problems with window vista dell xps 420 machine, all USB ports are not recognized, unless the computer is restarted or rebooted. anyone has a suggestion.

    Hi Miguelsmith,

    1. When did you start to question?

    2. you remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    You can uninstall and reinstall all USB device manager entries and check if it helps.

    a. Click Start and typedevmgmt.msc and then click OK. Device Manager opens.

    b. expand Bus USB controllers.

    Note: You will need to scroll down to find this point.

    c. the first USB controller under Bus USB controllers right click and then click on uninstall to remove it.

    d. Repeat steps above for each controller USB is listed under Bus USB controllers.

    e. restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.

    f. check the USB device to see if it works

    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...

  • Dell XPS 420 with Vista Home Premium, replaced the hard drive, download now blue screen errors

    My girlfriend has a desktop Dell XPS 420 quit working a year or 2 ago. A computer technician told me that it sounded as if the hard drive was bad, recently I purchased from Dell, a Seagate 1 TB hard drive (the original is a Western Digital 320 GB).

    I bought also, once again from Dell, a copy of its installation discs for Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

    I installed the new hard drive, correctly, as far as I can tell, but I tried several times over the past days to install Vista and a few times I got errors (BSoD) STOP and a few other times, Windows Installer errors.

    What's wrong?

    I run Dell diagnostics that took almost a whole day, but I don't think anything. I have not partitioned the hard drive, it's like 931 GB.

    I think that may be something related to the RAM, but I'm not sure.

  • 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.

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

    I done a clean install on Dell XPS 420 after a crash.  Windows XP works fine, but it continues to ask that drivers can be installed before I can get on my internet which is At & T DSL with external modem.  When I try to go on the internet, it gives me the error of pilots.  I had what I thought, it was the disk drivers that came with the computer, but when I installed and then it is still asking for the correct drivers.  I called At & t for their support and they said I needed drivers.  That's why I came to Microsoft to download the drivers on my Dell Studio 17 on a cd, so I can load them onto the computer Dell XPS 420.  I was afraid to install on my computer because my Windows 7 running.

    I don't know if I can load my Windows 7 and its drivers on the dell Xps 420.  It was a solution, I thought, but I'm not that computer from common sense to see if that might spoil the Dell XPS 420.   Any help would be appreciated.

    Using another computer, go to the Dell support website and search the Windows XP drivers for your specific model number. Using your Dell's Service tag number is the fastest way to get the correct drivers.

  • Backup impossible - Vista Ultimate, Dell XPS 420, WD 320 external (eSATA) drive - error 0 x 81000006 and 0 x 81000014

    Hello, I've had this problem for some time now, and it's very frustrating.  I can't save the disk correctly - there have been times that I've been able to do a full backup, but subsequent backups then failed, and other times, I can't yet do a full backup.

    I have a DELL XPS 420 PC, running Vista Ultimate.  I also have a 320 GB Western Digital external hard drive connected via eSATA.

    I had problems with backup from the beginning.  Previous suggestions have been to ensure that the drive is formatted in NTFS (it is) and to make sure that I am able to see the drive from the computer and access (I can).

    I got two different types of error messages:

    ================================
    Error message:

    The backup location cannot be found or is not valid. Check your backup settings and check your hardware configuration. (0 x 81000006)

    Backup time: 12-09-2009 01:05

    The backup location: My Book (z :))

    Error message:

    There is not enough space on your Windows drive to prepare for the backup of your files. At least 400 MB of free space is required to continue. (0 x 81000014)

    Backup time: 05/01/2010 18:38
    The backup location: My Book (z :))

    [Start over] [Settings] [Close]

    ==============================

    What could be the problem? What I might try?  Please let me know if I can provide any other information that might help.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE!

    Hey, Ronna,.

    Sorry I didn't saw this post earlier - I hope you were able to solve your problem.

    Here's what I figured out around miner (on mine - after hours and hours of research):

    The message 'no space' was more a message "no memory" for me - I understand that if I have a large number of open programs, that is causing the error.

    The other mistake, I was getting, it was simply that the external HD had stopped spinning - now, whenever it says backup failed because he could not find the hard drive I press the power button on the back of the drive (I have a MyBook Western Digital external hard drive 320), run it, and then it works fine.

    I hope this helps someone else.

    I have a studio xps 8100. The cpu fan started reving to about 3000 rpm, then back to 300 rpm around every 8 seconds. There is no adjustment of the fan in my bios, and I have the latest version of the BIOS update. I blew all the dust. I went from fans with my wifes computer and she always does so is not the fan itself.  I installed speedfan is watch without adjustments for the speed of the fans, he didn't tell my the CPU cores are running around 40 to 50 degrees Celsius and the chart for fan1 up and down from 300 to more than 3000 rpm. Any ideas on what is the problem and how can I solve this problem? The fan slows to 300 RPM will damage my CPU? Appreciate any help I get. Thank you.

  • drive eSATA on XPS 420

    I recently bought a RAID battery external LaCie 2big Quadra to use among a few computers. This external RAID array has just 2 hard drives that I currently have in RAID 0. It can connect to a computer via USB, Firewire 400, Firewire 800 and eSATA. I need this because only my XPS eSATA and I need the eSATA write speed on my XPS while I occasionally have read data from USB on other computers. Read around, people say that the eSATA port is only intended to be used in RAID mode with an internal hard drive. This has never explained when I bought my XPS and he said that the eSATA port is for adding hard drives in the user manual. He said nothing about that only work in RAID. Read around, I also found people who had the chance with the Western Digital drives, get these work simply as another external hard drive only.

    I currently have a single hard drive inside my computer and I can't clear all information (Yes, critical information is saved on a USB hard drive). I want to use my LaCie external hard drive with eSATA port, but not in RAID mode with my internal hard drive. The LaCie is already a RAID 0 array. It seems that this can be done. Dell has announced the eSATA port as an eSATA port for adding hard disks capable external eSATA, do not set up a RAID array.

    As of now, when I plug in my XPS 420 via eSATA LaCie hard drive, he installed new drivers for the ATA Channel 1. and in the Device Manager, by looking at the properties of ATA Channel 1 shows that there are 2 devices supported on the channel. It must be LaCie hard drives, but... I do not see the partitions (I have 2 there right now) pop up in my computer.

    I am VERY surprised no one has mentioned this clearly in another thread.

    I decided to risk everything and go with my instinct.

    I tried to update my downloads page of the Intel ICH9 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 2 with drivers ICH9 SATA AHCI of the package on the computer XPS 420 Intel Matrix Storage Manager. After that, so I got a BSOD and my computer restarted. During the restart, even before taking the trouble to solve the problem of possible new driver, I created, I went into the BIOS to RAID Autodetect / ATA Mode of RAID for the hard drive I had in my computer. Vista booted up, installed new drivers for HDD and other IDE like my DVD - RW devices. and wamo, everything works. I plugged in my LaCie external hard drive via the eSATA port, and now I see it as a hard drive in my computer. It didn't remove this device as the eSATA is like having the external drive as a hard drive is internal.

    Now, when my computer starts, a new screen appears for a few seconds for the Matrix Storage Manager there. It says press Ctrl + I to set up RAID or RAID settings. I have just to leave the screen sitting there for 2-3 seconds and start as I always have.

    With RAID in BIOS, Vista will not even use the ICH9 SATA AHCI drivers, I tried to install, it installed new drivers, it automatically finds when Vista starts after turning on the RAID. So the solution to my problem was simply turn on RAID in the BIOS... which, as a side effect, light the eSATA port.

    So to be clear, you have a hard disk or several internal hard drives and uses a drive eSATA hard, but not in any RAID mode. You turn on the RAID in the BIOS, but simply never none of the drives set up RAID.

    I did have to reinstall Vista or whatever it is.

    NOTE: I have updated the BIOS version A03, A06 before doing any of this.
