XPS 435mt seeing a solid amber power, restarts after a hard stop

A few weeks ago, my PC started starting the morning only insofar as a solid pale orange/orange

See the short video of this sequence here:

(Description of the start-stop-start on the video is also included below).

The last few days, it is more difficult to coax the machine to boot completely.  And automatic reboot has ceased.

All 3 fans more graphics card turn. Yellow orange light on the motherboard remains on before, during and after. I replaced the battery CMOS, reinstalled it and checked its voltage with a multimeter before reinstalling it again.

What seems to work erratically to start the PC must run partially started with solid amber power lights up for a few minutes. Hold down the power button / stop. And press power to - finally - star place entirely (power of white light).

00:55 I press the power button. This time the PC boots normally.

If the DVD player is ejected then usually confirmed its POWER supply works fine. I'm afraid it's a faulty motherboard. Concerning

  • Can't see BIOS UEFI more Windows 8 after formatting hard drive

    After formatting my hard drive, I don't see the opportunity to get into the BIOS/UEFI firmware anymore. It has disappeared from the troubleshooting Windows 8.1. It happened because I had to reinstall Windows because I wanted to put Windows on the SSD drive, that I adapted. Firstly tried to transfer files to Windows from the HARD drive that went successfully but my problem was trying to get the HP BIOS so he can start, he had no option as I saw in the other BIOS, select the name of the SSD drive and turn it on just for 1 St boot, (the SSD has been installed properly so she did state in the BIOS on other things and in the windows to) the only thing that he had in this BIOS is a command to start menu I dragged the SSD to the first boot. Windows restarted and it wouldn't boot from SSD yet, so I put it in legacy mode that came to the top with my SSD info to start first, but when I saved these settings and rebooted Windows it says has no disc or can't find windows. So that's how I got where I am now and had to reinstall Windows to get it working again. Can't find away to get the BIOS/UEFI on windows 8 Troubleshooting menu option more?

    Hello

    The way most simple and easiest way to solve your dilemma to use the HP recovery media to build on the SSD system use the same SATA port that is used by the original Windows 8 boot drive. I know that this procedure works, at least on the PC that I used.

    I'm not a fan of 'cloning' of hard disks to boot HP UEFI active.  There are simply too many problems. Using the HP with a SSD recovery holder sized to accept all the original HP recovery system. This includes not user data. Then use your original hard drive as a device of emergency start and space remaining for the storage of data.

  • Studio XPS 435MT used to power on

    My 2 year old Dell Studio XPS 435MT does not illuminate.  This happened after a short break.  The PC is connected to a surge protector at the time of the failure.  When I try it on, the power button blinks orange and fans to contract.  The fans tremble twice when the power button is pressed - as it tries to start - but he'll nothinhg beyond that.  I have a green light solid on food and a solid amber light on the motherboard.  There is no change of material to this PC.

    Further investigation revealed that the food was good.  I have re-installed THE connections/cards and tried to turn on the unit by disconnecting the components (fans, disks, vid card, etc) one at a time to try to isolate the problem.  I also tried a known working video card.  No matter what I did, it will not turn on.  Same fan tics.  I bought a new computer, removed the hard drive and successfully files retrieved from it using a docking station.  I didn't belive the hard drive was the culprit here.  All the indications stated on the motherboard, so I bought a new (exact same manufacturer / plug).

    The new motherboard was going in and connections were verified tripple.  The PC then propelled straight up.  The computer normally acted through a series of restarts.  I thought that I had this figured out and I was very happy because I liked this computer - but not so fast!  When I stop the PC completely and tried to power on, I got exactly the same problem.  And exactly the same problem no matter what outlet, I used.

    Well, I thought that the food was maybe defective and I tried a new.  Nope - still no luck with that.  I heard that remove and then reinstall the CMOS/BIOS battery has worked for others, so I tried.  Of course - it worked.  The PC starts, but I have to restore the default BIOS settings.  After shutting down, it will still not be able to save, however, without resetting the battery.  As a last effort, I replaced the battery and, of course, who did nothing.

    Please help me because I really don't want to play with that battery every time there is a power failure or stop and I need to get the new card mother $150.00 returned as soon as POSSIBLE if the computer is off help.  Thank you!!!

    Thanks for the suggestion - just replaced the power supply with a 600W Corsair after that first try everything and now the system works very well once more.

    Before replacing, I tested the original power supply and found to work (short circuit green wire with the black) and also tried to isolate the component problem outside the MoBo, but couldn't find any cause.

    I have however noticed that power (at the back of the old PSU) light flickered weakly even if system was off - on the test PSU power LED blinking not.

  • Upgrade GPU for Studio XPS 435MT and indine power load max

    Hi, I have a Studio XPS 435MT with a 360W power supply and an ati radeon HD4800 series GPUs (likely a 4850). I want to improve the gpu with a gpu from Gainward GeForce GTX 750 2 GB (one slot), GDDR5. It uses just 55W and there is no external power supply plug, the HD4800, but in the GTX card appears: minimum 300W or more system power supply (with a minimum of 12V current rating of 20A). And I do not know if this 20 a could be a problem, because my Delta DPS-360FB-1 diet doesn't seem to reach the rated current.

    What do you suggest me?

    Thank you

    combined maximum 12V 12VA and 12VB output for this unit is 300W which is 25, but you can't have your cake and eat it too.

    If you draw 20 amps on the 12v rail you used 240W leaving 60W for everything else that needs 12V.

    And if you use 300W on the 12v rail that leaves 60W max for the 5v / 3.3V through less 10W to + 5VSB.

    GTX 750 will be in this case either well, or it does not at all due to the lack of power on one or more tracks.

    HD4850 certainly consumes MORE energy than a GTX750 so that only one point of view, it should be good.

  • XPS 435MT SSD

    Hi I am trying to install an SSD for my XPS 435MT PC.  Samsung 830 series.  I need but the PC in AHCI mode.  My bios doesn't have SATA or Raid.  Technical support Dell says to select SATA.  I select the SATA in the bios disconnected all other HD and connect the SSD.  A clean installation of windows 7. I have not seen any improvement in my system.  A ran the landmarks window and if the same results as my hard drive. A ran Samsung Software Wizard to optimize the drive and the operating system.  He keep reports that PC was not in AHCI mode.  Is there another setting in the BIOS I missed.  I have to do a manual tweak for Windows 7.

    I just got a Samsung 850 Evo 120 GB SSD installed today on my Dell XPS 435MT. My Setup was a single 500 GB HDD with about 100 MB partition for windows C:, E: recovery partition and a D: big data partition
    I followed the basic process has been
    1. Install two software provided by Samsung
    2. Shut down the system.
    3. Disconnect the DVD player and plug the SSD instead. I did it mainly because I don't have a spare SATA cable. I'll have to buy one soon. For now, I used my DVD / BD drive since I almost never use the player.
    4. In the BIOS, I changed IDE RAID, but which caused a reboot so I changed it to the way it was.
    5. Started in Windows as usual and did the cloning using the migration software, I installed in step 1.
    6. Cloning overcome in 11 minutes for about 40 gigabytes of disk C:
    7. After cloning, I was prompted to restart
    8. In the BIOS I put the SSD - fundamentally changed the boot sequence starts
    9. Restarted
    10. My SSD Windows is running. My old Windows partition was placed under C: to F:. New windows of my SSD received the letter of C: drive
    11. Did a check on the performance
    12. I got a number around 180 MB/s and about 250 MB/s for reads and writes respectively
    13. At performance tuning and optimization of the BONE
    14. Now, reading and writing is far beyond the real specs. I get 2500 and 2100 respectively. I still see the magician telling me that I should be in AHCI mode. I don't know what will happen if I try to put in a RAID. At step 4 I tried, but Windows wouldn't start. System should restart every time.

    I am satisfied with the improvement of the initial performance I see.

    It took me just 1 hour to do the foregoing.

  • Inspiron 660 - solid Amber Light, No POST, does not start

    Hello world

    Having badly put in that my Inspiron 660 road.  When I press the button, it turns Orange fixed and there is no display.    I need to change a few items on the computer?

    Full article:

    Earlier, before I clicked on the sleep button on my keyboard and left my computer for awhile.  When I came back, the computer showed a black screen, but he was still awake.  I left alone for a while, but I couldn't get the screen to show so I held the power button.

    I then took over, hoping everything was ok, but then it restarted several times by himself.  Then he showed a blue screen with a frowny face indicating 'inaccessible boot device '.  I decided to try safe mode.  After scanning of the hard drive, it eventually start in safe mode.  After a few moments, I stopped it safely.

    After that, I thought I should try a regular boot.  When I hit the power button, it remained white, but there is no display.  After leaving it alone for a bit, I tried to turn off by holding the power button.  But it does not work.  The only option I had was to pull the plug.  After reconnecting, there now solid amber light, no display, no post.

    Hoping someone has a solution I have at least back on my computer.

  • Dell Studio XPS 435mt does not - light light orange card mother

    I had my Studio XPS 435mt for recent years and love it! Normally I leave my machine on almost every day all day so I can access it remotely. Well, today my power went out (the product is connected to a good surge protector) and now it won't turn back on.

    When I plug it in there is a green light to the rear of the machine and internally, there is a orange light, which lights up. When I press the power button nothing happens, not even try to power on. I read a few forums that suggest all of a new power supply, a new motherboard and even a job to 'put your motherboard in the oven' random.

    So my question is can I do anything to check what the problem is? Also, if it of a motherboard problem and needs to be replaced, where is the best place to get a motherboard? Reference Dell sells to them directly or I have to go to a 3rd party to track down?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    A type of power surge Strip does nothing to protect the PC during a power failure.  You need a 'UPS' unit to protect the PC during short power outages (most).

    As he ran, anything could have happened to the power supply to the motherboard to a component on the motherboard.

    As you have the power to 'keep' alive on the card mother, indicated by orange LED, power supply works somewhat.  Unplug the power connector 24 pins on the motherboard.  Then the rider GREEN wire to a BLACK wire and see if the power turns on (fan running).  If it does, it does not say the PSU is good (only replace it with a known good power is the only true test for a power supply), but it does not say the rotation of the problem is not in the power.  If it does not start, food is the likely problem.

    If the power supply lights the other most likely problem is the motherboard.  Reinstall (unplug and plug back in) the prior panel connector on the motherboard and then give it a try. If it still does not respond, the motherboard is suspect.  The power switch, itself, would be a very remote problem.

    Dell is a source for a replacement motherboard.  There are sites that sell Dell used/given to nine motherboards and ends up with a google search.  Only another mother of exact replacement fit and work.

    Finally, regardless of the tests do or anything that seems as it isolates a certain part, unfortunately only to replace the part really tell you if it's bad.  To avoid buying something you don't need you can make to a PC repair center renamed to what is really wrong.

  • 5.1 ESXi does not see any number of logical unit after restarting both MD3220 and R820

    We restarted our host R820 ESXi 5.1 and table connected to SAS MD3220.  After the reboot, the HBA on ESXi shows no device.  We turned on the MD3220.  WAITED 5 minutes before feeding the R820.

    FYI... the complete Setup includes two R820 connected to two MD3220 through SAS.  The two R820 cannot see all devices on two HBAs after reboot.  We have redundant RAID controllers on the MD3220s and redundant HBA on the R820s.

    On the MD3220, the status of host interface ports appears.

    Anyone know this problem?

    We found the problem.  On the MD3220s, we noticed some "unidentified host identifiers.  For a reason unknown to us, the host port identifiers changed after turning power off and power on all R820s and MD3220s.  To resolve this problem, we replaced the identifiers.  It seems that someone swapped the SAS cables.  I don't think that someone made.

  • The Studio XPS 435MT graphics card upgrade

    Hi all

    I have a Dell Studio XPS 435mt with these specs:

    Intel Core I7 2.67 ghz

    6 GB of RAM

    ATI Radeon HD 4570 512 MB graphics card (it's the original one)

    I got nothing so far, but now I want to change the graphics card because I want to play games that require higher performance, I play with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080 p).

    So what do you suggest me? What is the best graphics card can I take, compatible with the studio 435mt?

    I don't want to change the other components (and I mean the PSU in particular) I don't want to change the graphics card.

    So what is the graphics card that pushes the limit of this computer?

    I have another question.

    I bought this computer in Italy and it's because I'm Italian xD.

    Now I'm in Boston for the summer holidays and I would buy the card here. There is a compatibility problem between Italian and American computers?

    I mean the GPU are all the same despite the country or there are a few differences to take into account?

    I'm sorry if I am repetitive, but I don't know if my questions are clear and understandable.

    Thanks for your help!

    I have no budget.

    True, but even once, why would you spend $129 when the same one that costs only $89 HERE at Newegg.  Personally, I wouldn't put a high end as the HD 6970 card in your system, but it is up to you.  For me, just is not there, but I know that others have fact.   Cards more recent performance today they run cooler and are smaller than the last generation.  I know there are people who have put in the hot and power hungry GTX 295 in this system.  If you want a high end card without going overboard, take a look at the HD 6850 and HD 6870.  However, if you have money, you can do whatever you want if you use an i7 processor to go with it.  I'm just a little at low cost.

    Model: Studio XPS 435MT
    Processor: Intel Core i7

    Case: In Stock (never did a switch box but would be ready)

    Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4350 512 MB 2
    Power: 550w (honestly the first upgrade I did)

    I pulled a lot of games for this thing, and it has served me very well. I am looking to do an update of basic graphics card but want to stay under $ 300.00, I don't want to go too big or too hot for the system (or unnecessarily powerful but I'm okay with that, like if this happens).

    I am also ready to increase the ram, but once again to 8 GB I don't know if I'd get a vein off going up to 16 GB, but at the end of the day it's a learning experience and the installation is always fun.

    Also, I'm ready to tell is don't bother, if it would be better to buy a new system, so I can actually consider doing that but shaped why can't not ask like you people seem quite knowledgeable GD.

    EPS 12V 2.91 compliance means you should be able to use most of the maps, if the power supply is really high spec.

  • Last steps to install an SSD in a XPS 435MT (Windows 7 64-bit)?

    I found a very good price on two SSDs - so I bought it, thinking I could install at least one of them in my XPS 435MT. They will arrive today.

    I also want to add a Blu - ray (player, at least) Player to this system. (Suggestions)? While seeking advice on this, I came across a forum detailed post making it clear to me that adding SSD to the XPS 435MT system is not so easy.

    It's been well over a year since the above post has been updated. Are the steps that are always accurate? Are there any updates? For example, the message includes a link to the Intel Matrix Storage Manager for Microsoft Windows driver; However, the page that indicates that it is valid for the "Intel Server System SR1680MV. Is this still required driver? Is Microsoft difficulty he always required 50470?

    I want to preserve my finely tuned Windows 7 environment, if possible. My system currently has two hard drives of 500 GB (C: and D :), a DVD - ROM (g) and a DVD - RW (w). Currently, I have all my Windows libraries on the D: drive. I am considering making it one of the new SSD the C: drive, using Paragon to migrate the content of HARD C: for the SSD drive. There is perhaps not a need for the existing C: HDD after that; Besides, I may even need to remove the HARD drive in order to have a Bay to install the SSD/support. I intend to replace one of the DVD writers with the Blu - ray player.

    All comments are welcome!

    UPDATE: I called a crucial technical support informing them that their advisor of SSD is in offline mode. The technician I spoke with knew very well what I'm trying to accomplish. According to him, there is no need to install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager - driver as the native Windows driver should be enough. I'll do an OS migration - so in this case, perhaps, the native Windows driver is not present?

    Chris,

    You only need to run 'fix' If your BIOS is currently set to ATA and you will have to change to RAID. If you are already set up to RAID, you will not have this difficulty. However, I would make sure you run the latest version of the Intel RST (this replaces the former matrix storage driver).

    I think your plan is fine, except that I would simply connect the SSD to a SATA, not a USB adapter port. Boot from Paragon Disk or flash drive, depending on what you got and run the clone operation.

    Most of the people who swap HDDs to SSDS retain their hard drives for data. Keep this in mind for your planning.

    I think that most of the problems of performance with SSDS just frankly cloning a Windows installation that is congested or possibly running in ATA mode. That's why I went to the trouble to do a clean install. It's a little more forward work, but now I have an image of the installation with my drivers and applications that I can restore to the DSS at any time in a few minutes.
