• 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.

• Adding an SSD to a XPS 435MT

  Hi all

  I would like to replace my boot partition of Windows 7 HD with an SSD for my XPS 435MT. In my opinion, than the XPS 435MT to maximally compatible SATA-2 natively.

  Other than the SSD and wiring, what should I upgrade the XPS to support SATA-3 of 6 GB/s speeds? Is it still possible?

  Kind thanks,

  Daniel

  Interface SATA of XPS 435MT is limited to 3 GB/s by its material, but it will always accept players that are capable of 6 GB/s.  Highest, 6 Gbit/s interface speed requires that became available with the XPS 8300 Sandy Bridge architecture.

• Dell Studio XPS 435MT disk hard clean install of Windows Vista

  My hard drive died on my Dell Studio XPS 435MT. I'm doing a clean install of Windows Vista 64 bit on my new HARD drive using DVD relocation provided by Dell with the PC.

  (1) I am not able to boot from the CD/DVD player, where is the DVD of resettlement. I have set the priorities of boot and disabled the boot from the HDD. Whenever I try to boot from the CD/DVD drive, I gives me a message saying "no Diagnostic Utility Partition identified; Press a key to reboot... »

  If I unplug the new HD, then, I am able to boot from the CD/DVD player and I can not for the Windows Setup screens. However, I can't then point nine hard disk installation.

  (2) as I said, I am able to start Windows Setup screens when the HD is initially disconnected during startup. After I get to the Windows Setup screen I plug HD on the motherboard. The new HD must be recognized if I do this? Currently it is not.

  (3) following the instructions here, I said I need to 'prepare a USB SATA key in advance.

  I found this thread on the same subject. Unfortunately your BIOS update can be run from Windows, so that won't help. But down a suggestion to unplug and reconnect the hard drive. Looks like that might work for you.

• 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.

• 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).

  Description of the video:

  Dell Studio XPS 435mt. starts then turn it a second time, but always fails to start.

  00:01, I press the power button / stop. System makes fan noises, but shows an orange light of death on the power button.

  00:11 after about 10 seconds, the system turns off. Fans have stopped, power light turns off.

  00:14 on 2 seconds later, with no additional input from me, the system turns on again.  Like the first time, fans and readers to make noise; same light orange on the power button / stop.

  12:45, after about 30 seconds, I hold down the power button to turn off the PC.

  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

• 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.

  

• Graphics upgrade Dell Studio XPS 435MT

  Model: Studio XPS 435MT
  Processor: Intel Core i7
  Memory: 8 GB
  OS: Windows 64-bit
  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.

  

• The upgrade of my XPS 435mt CPU

  Does anyone know if the processor on the XPS 435mt (bought in 2010) can be upgraded to a new processor generation 3rd i7 - or if the motherboard would be able to accept anything newer than the 2.67Ghz that I come to the Board of Directors - he slowed way and I thought buy an i7 would keep at least going me for a few years...?  Any ideas or suggestions?  If I have to replace the motherboard to upgrade of processor - has someone at - he tried this successfully?  What motherboard do you have had success with.  I use the computer mainly for video editing of home movies... and internet surfing - just seems like he has really slowed down... Thank you

  T Hutchems

  Sorry to revive an old topic but I am also wanting to upgrade my cpu to the 965 920 (as above). It would simply be a Plug - and play Exchange with nothing else to do? Well well, after a BIOS update? And I'd love any transfer to a new, more general cases.

  T Hutchems

  Yes.

  But, before you install the new processor, verify that the latest BIOS is installed.

  When a processor or a radiator is removed, replaced or reused, it is advisable to clean both and reapply a paste heat, as indicated.

  Instructions for cleaning and application of thermal paste, are HERE.

  Only a small tube of thermal paste is required, this can be bought from any store of the local computer, or online.

• 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.

• 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.

• XPS boot SSD 8900

  I am trying to replace the hard drive on my desktop XPS 8900 with a SanDisk SSD.  When I boot the system I get an error screen that says: "Hard Drive - disk error found. The attention! Hard drive or optical drive not found' However, when I hit "continue" on this screen, the system boots fine and works like a charm.

  I saw a firmware SanDisk SSD update on downloads.dell.com... I downloaded it, but the zip file seems to be password protected and there is not a password in the instructions on the dell site.

  It's very frustrating

  Windows 10 in case that is important.

  Thanks Z4ko, I fixed it and I am operating. The sata0 has blue into the connector on the motherboard, so I moved that to sata4 here is what I did.

  Unplug the HD and entered Bios pulled the RAID for UEFI

  boot from Win 10 stick of mem and loading in the SSD 256 in Sata5 card m2 on the mother, charge card win 10.

  Restarted fine I'm now running on the SSD.

  re - connect now connected HD Sata4 tried to start and received the error "a required device is not connected or is not accessible."

  handed on in the bios and disabled secure boot

  restart on SSD ok and seen HD, format, would lead letter, etc... everything is good.

  went back into the bios and re-enabled secure boot.

  All right.

• XPS a SSD 2710

  Hello community,

  We have a XPS One 2710 and we want to replace the default value of by a SSD HARD drive, but we cannot find compatibility information, can we replace the SATA with the Evo 850 Samsung SSD drive, for example?, this normal interface SATA, not mSATA right?

  Thank you

  Concerning

  It was just one example of the rear connectors. We have never tested SSD in this model, that's why I said, "in theory...". ». It is unknown as to how the system BIOS would identify an SSD or whose size, it could use.

• Size of screws in XPS 8900 SSD M2.0 port?

  Does anyone know what is the size of the screw (#1 in the picture) which secures an SSD in the M2.0 slot on the XPS 8900 motherboard?

  

  Two different people to support Dell sent me the right screw for the XPS8900, that I have received and confirmed to work.

  It's M2x3.5, NOT M2x3. The official part of Dell is:

  6JPHH1SCREW, M2X3.5, WIFI/SSD/DDPE, DF

  (or just the part number 6JPHH).

• Dell XPS 15 SSD NVMe slow after updating the firmware July 2016 and papillonné CPU (Core i7)

  Edit: 9/2: title change intended to reflect issues of CPU throttling and discussion (second half of the thread)

  I noticed a huge performance drag after updating the firmware and drivers of my XPS 15 9550. The update took place August 4, 2016.

  Performance of my usual applications (Chrome, development tools and IDE, etc.) is dramatically lower. In general, I would say that things take about 3 times as long to arrive. I checked the CPU (normal), but also memory consumption (as normal) to discover that the problem is with the SSD drive.

  On this laptop: 500 GB NVMe thnsn5512gpu7 NV (toshiba). Attached are the results of a benchmark with AS SSD. All write speeds are appalling, to say the least... that explains a lot, but I have no idea how to solve this problem, and whether or not it really relates to the latest firmware + update drivers provided by Dell.

  (Note: I checked the BIOS, it seems that the SSD is currently configured in RAID mode.) Never touched this option before.)

  Any idea? Other affected users in a similar way. Thanks in advance.

  

  I managed to get the performance back by going to the properties of the disc and turn off windows write cache flushing heat. The two boxes should be checked. Write speed then went to about 1400 MB/s.
