• Studio XPS 8100 does not start

  Hello!  I have a 2010 studio xps 8100 (Intel (r) Core i7 CPU 860 to 2.80 GHz, 8 GB ram) and it's great when it works.  Last week, I was out of town and when I came back it would not start upward.  I can turn it on and start the fans, but it does not pass the POST and therefore does not start.  I tested the ram and it seemed ok (two beeps when trying to boot without ram, no beeps when ram is correctly placed).  The original of the graphics card died last year and I had it replaced with an EVGA Geforce GTX 750, I chose because it was one of the few cards that could work with the power supply 350w provided with your computer.  I thought that maybe the PSU was then replaced by a 500w PSU, but the problem persists.  I then read somewhere that if you SNYC date/time problems (which I was when the computer would turn on) that you need to replace the battery on the motherboard, so I did and still does not start.  I don't know what I can do, is the dead motherboard?  I tried the drain the power thing (release the button so that disconnected power for 30 seconds) and that didn't work either.

  maddygillis

  Yes, but I'm sure that the battery is not the issue.  If it was I'd get stack codes error beep (5 beeps).

  Not necessarily...

  maddygillis

  It does not pass the POST because it does not start...

  If the video card is faulty, the PC can still start but you just do nothing appears on the monitor, so I don't know that you can actually say that it does not pass POST.

  When you have tested the monitor with your laptop, did you use the same cable and video port on the monitor that you use with desktop? If you have used another port on the screen with the laptop with the office, this is not a fair test.

  Have you tried reinstalling the video card into its slot and check the connections of the video cable at both ends?

  This system has onboard video and Pluggable software component video card. So, you can remove the add-in card and switch the monitor to the onboard video port. According to the specifications, the onboard video has HDMI and DVI outputs, so assuming that your monitor supports either people, you have an easy way to test more.

  NOTE: The embedded video ports are DISABLED unless you physically remove the video card. If you cannot move just the video cable to a built-in port while the video card is installed.

• XPS 8100, Win7 Pro, 2 Samsung HD103SJ 1 TB of disk configuration RAID 1, bought in 2011

  Under the subject line, my XPS 8100 has 2 Samsung HD103SJ drives set up in a RAID 1 configuration. The system was delivered like this at Dell in 2011.

  Problem: one of the disks is now a dead bug and I need to replace. If I understand correctly, it's RAID 1 via the BIOS. I don't have a RAID controller card.

  Question (s): these HD103SJ discs are almost nonexistent (although I found a site w/6 or more). HD103SJ readers have TLER ability and if so, is it enabled by default or require a software utility for Samsung to do this? As well, do I really need to do, OR could I just replace this drive with a WD1003FZEX (note that WD has disabled or completely removed support TLER for their BLACK discs). All online comments lead me to believe that only WD RED pushes (maybe they should be called 2 x $ because of their HIGH cost players) now have this ability.

  Comment: I've been of the opinion (so perhaps wrongly) that only hardware RAID required to have active TLER / set, but I've also read online that MS Win7 requires this setting.

  Bottom Line: If someone who reads this has information that would solve this discussion, one way or the other, I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you.

  Hi back,

  TLER is not necessary for RAID 1. In fact, you're better without TLER as drive problems will be immediately apparent.

  That said, I think only WD drives have TLER. Samsung has something else. But whatever it is, I would say that it is not necessary. Any 1 TB drive will work.

• Dell xps 8100; Disk failure hard error 2000-0142 0 self test status 79

  Hi guys, I was wandering in the forums for a few hours, now looking for ana response to this question, and can't find anything clear. I have a XPS 8100 that I run a diagnostic and received a 2000-0142 error code that says MSG: error code 2000-0142 hard drive FAILURE 0 self-test status: 79 based on what I read in the forum is that there is a disk failure, and the only recourse is to solve the problem in my view is to replace the drive. Firstly, can someone please give me an absolute confirmation that it is indeed what I have to do, or is there something else I should do to fix this problem first? If a replacement drive is there someone could please tell me how can I do to get my OEM software off the coast of the partition recovery and on my new drive. I now office preinstalled and, of course, premium Windows 7 I would like to see on my new hard drive and I was not provided with one of the disks at the time of purchase. Thanks in advance to all those who respond

  Hi XPS8100kid,

  Welcome to the Dell Community Forum.

  The 200-0142 error is for hard drive failure and you need to replace the hard drive.

  Since the hard drive has not, you would not be able to access the partition recovery on it. Data would be lost and the software already installed on your computer will need to be reinstalled.

  Windows 7 will need to be installed on the new hard drive. Please click the link below to get the procedure of re - install Windows 7.

• Studio XPS 8100.

  I bought a system Dell Studio XPS 8100, about 2 years, for about $800,00 and in the first year, from many problems. Against freezing up just stop without reason. No malicious software installs or something like that. After fighting it for far too long, I have just attributed to get a lemon because dells were supposed to be the best. So rather than go through the disorders associated with repair shops, I decided to just get a new. So, I went out and paid $850,00 for an another Dell. An i5 Studio XPC. Now, all my troubles would be behind me. I kept the other one just for a backup. So now, here, it's about 2 years later, and the more recent does exactly the same thing. I'm going to walk away from him for about 2 h., back and completely frozen up. It happens again and again. Need to remove the main power plug and restart to do anything. I guess my question is, are all these unwanted Dells today? I've been buying computers for more than 20 years, and I have never spent so much money for this garbage. I could get a nice HP for a lot less and probably had far fewer problems. Needless to say that Dell will never get another dime from me, or someone asking me for suggestions of computer brand. Absolutely disgusted.

  Two systems, that you got were thinner and should continue to work well. Please run diagnostics in both entities:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/F12-Preboot-Diagnostics/

  If the diagnosis then the two systems are likely due to a reinstall of Windows operating system. Preferably a clean install opposed to factory settings.

  The Studio XPS i5 especially if it is a system of Windows 8, has probably just upgraded to 8.1 Windows and Microsoft of this 'Service Pack' deployment has been far from perfect. A new installation of Windows 8.1 will correct the problems with the update.

  For the XPS 8100, it will be Windows 7 64 bit, again judging by his calendar was probably a problem when installing Service Pack 1. Follow my A install clean windows for best results, it will instruct you in the download installation media and clean install Windows updates before you install the drivers in the system leading to optimal performance, then do a new sanitation recovery partition:

• Studio XPS 8100 embedded graphics

  I'm trying to fix a XPS 8100 customers that blue screen on startup. The fault is a conflict between the Nvidia driver and another piece of software.

  Long story short, I can't afford to spend more time diagnosis and resolution of this issue on the budget, they have so we agreed to remove the PCIE graphics card and running on the embedded graphics. However, when I remove the PCIe add in card and connect the edge DVI or HDMI system port does not give 6 short beeps that relate to a faulty graphics card.

  First the integrated graphics is enabled on these systems? I can't find anything in the bios on the activation of the graphics. The system has a processor i7 so I thought he would have at least the HD 3000 video support.

  I can get the system starts with the existing graphics card, but its operation on a Microsoft standard VGA driver that makes the image very pixillation. NVIDIA write a windows base driver Cup that do not not all 3D and other add ons, maybe I could use?

• Studio xps 8100 fan speed

  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.

• Studio XPS 8100. Update graphics Nvidia GTX 650 or 750 GTX

  Hello

  I have a studio XPs 8100 with a Radeon 5770 (1 GB) graphics card. If it was a good card when I bought the system, I think to upgrade the card to an Nvidia GTX 650 (4 GB) or a 750 GTX card 2GB.

  Apart from buying a new power of W 600 or 700 unit, is there anything I should know about?  Did anyone tried these cards in the XPS 8100? The motherboard and the case would argue one of them?  I have a GB of Ram 1333 6, I have to increase it too?

  Thank you very much in advance for the help.

  I have not had to install a new ps. The 750 TI FTW attracts only and extra 25 watts and a regular 750 TI does not yet use this extra power. And Yes, you can change the ps in a 8100 but they are irregular in size but can be found. I'd say you'd be fine with any 750 cards and honestly, you can get 50 fps or better in most of the games with them, a lot of maps. My son has a ti 750 FTW in a xps 8700 and gets 70-80 fps in his favorite tank game.

• What is the cheapest video card that will work in a Dell Studio XPS 8100?

  Map of 5770 in my Studio XPS 8100 seems to be dying.  The screen keeps have corrupted and I can't do anything until I restart, then it happens after a few minutes.  I have a corsair cx430 power supply installed.

  The only weird thing I've noticed is that when it is started in safe mode the display seems to work perfectly.

  This machine is my server machine, so I only need to make a minimum of working directly on the machine.

  I think I should just replace the video card.  What is the cheapest video card / lowest which will work in my 8100?

  Thank you

  The Sapphire 6450 is a video card large budget.

• Reader XPS 8100 and 4 TB

  A Dell Studio XPS 8100 recognize a 4 TB internal hard drive? Win 7 64 bit Pro recognizes the secondary drive (GPT) as part of just 2 TB.

  Hi birdwoman,.

  If you are running Windows 7 x 64, you may be able to use a 4 to like a record of internal data (and not as a boot disk) or connect the drive as the second drive internal and initialize the TPG, not of MBR.

  Dell Studio XPS 8100 is not compatible with UEFI. Thus, a startup GPT disk cannot be used for the start of the BONE. As far as I KNOW, an MBR disk can access drives of 2 TB. I did some research and found a work around that you try.

  Western Digital avoids this on PRE UEFI bios systems with 64-bit OS and a system with 1 PCI - E X 1 slot free. More than 2 TB requires a 64-bit OS and Bios extension via controller. The controller they use is made by Highpoint. HighPoint RocketRAID 620 PCI-Express 2.0 x 1 SATA III (6.0 GB/s) controller card

• Need to replace XPS 8100 hard drive to confirm SATA interfaces

  Hello I hope that helps you with my request of the cabin. My older Desktop Dell XPS 8100 has an internal hard drive.
  I found a new WD hard drive which could be the right one for my PC - WD Blue 1 TB Desktop disk hard - 3.5 inches - WD10EZEX 1 TB, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 7200 tr / MIN Office 3.5 inch HDD 7200 RPM / MIN SATA 6 Gb/s 64 MB Cache
  The Studio XPS 8100 has two bays for hard disks 3.5 ". It has four SATA 2.0 ports (1.5Gbps/3.0Gbps). Can you please confirm that the [SATA 6.Gbs] proposed WD drive is backward compatible with SATA 2.0. ?

  I really don't understand if the new WD10EZEX 1 TB, SATA 6 Gb/s, is compatible with the Dell XPS 8100 that currently has a no work Samsung HD 103SJ SATA 3.00.

• Replacement radiator/fan CPU in Studio XPS 8100 problems

  I'm looking to replace the CPU fan/radiator in my Studio XPS 8100 desktop computer, using a Dell model 0TJ5T2 (http://i.imgur.com/NMu2wYk.jpg is my actual unit).  The Amazon seller, I ordered it from class compatible with the 8100 XPS (www.amazon.com/.../B008B9MUJ6; redirect = true & ref_ = oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00), but I'm having an extremely difficult time, install the new fan.  The screws on the line of the fan with the holes on the motherboard upward; but when I press firmly on one of their chiefs/Springs, the screw's not going deep enough to really catch on anything whatsoever (and pressure usually ends up causing the heatsink to slip away from the CPU).  Y at - it something I am doing wrong, or this model fan is not really compatible with the 8100?

  There is a thread X on the bottom of the motherboard heatsink live in.

  If this is not the same then its wrong son.

  

• Upgrade XPS 8100 GPU for video editing? (of GTS 240-> GT 630 Kepler)

  I have older XPS 8100 with power supply 350 W, PCIe v2.

  It comes with Nvidia GTS 240

  • Hearts CUDA 112
  • 1 GB 128- bit memory DDR3 memory

  Is it wise to update to GT 630 Kepler who has more CUDA cores and memory bigger BUT less bandwidth! Note There are several flavors of the GT 630 map. The Kepler there CUDA more but less bandwidth. It also uses an architecture of nm 28 (?) so it consumes less energy...

  • 384 CUDA cores
  • 2 GB memory 64- bit memory DDR3

  I'm just trying to give my older office a little boost so I can keep it a little longer. Just to get into video editing (videos of simple talking heads HD of Canon DSLR mainly for the YouTube/web but can experiment a bit with After Effect too)

  Other improvements, I foresee:

  • Replace the main (and only) with a SSD for the OS
  • Add controller SATA III Housing Board (motherboard currently supports only SATA II)
  • Add 1 or 2 7200 TPM (WD Caviar Black or Seagate Barracuda SATA III), although thought rather than the RAID 0 for speed I was going to do separate so I can use different drives for data, source on one and previews, cache files, etc. on the other hand
  • Add 3 USB so that I can also external platforms if needed is, like maybe keep my second internal drive and the third disk external but connected via eSATA III or USB 3

  Given the hassle and expenses, I have no intend to upgrade the i5 processor (1st generation I think) or the power supply. Is the system otherwise "balanced" for what I'll use to?

  The 630 GT would be a downgrade from the GTS 240.  I would look at the GTX 650 for an upgrade.  A GT 640 would also be an upgrade at the best prices.

• Question of graphics Dell Studio XPS 8100

  I plan to upgrade my desktop computer Dell Studio XPS 8100 with a new graphics card, so that I can play new games such as Skyrim and Star Wars the old republic.

  Can someone tell me which of these cards is best for this purpose, corresponds to my computer and if other changes are needed (ideally no)?

  EVGA GTX 550 VGA (GDDR5, PCI-Express, 2 GB)
  Sapphire 6750 (PCI Express, DDR3, 2 GB)
  Sapphire 6790 (PCI-Express, GDDR5, 1 GB)
  PALIT GTX 550 Ti (GDDR5, PCI Express, 1 GB)

  Thanks in advance,

  Sikkaech

  Based on the recommended for Skyrim card, you will need to go with the HD 6790 or GTX 550 it.  However, your biggest problem is food that is only 350 watts.  For all these cards, a higher power is recommended by the manufacturer.  The HD 6790 is the best on the list with the GTX 550 Ti in 2nd.  I'll take the other two on your list because they would fall the recommended card, but they would always play the games.   I would recommend if you upgrade the power supply to go with a unit of minimum mark of 500 watts with the necessary connections.

  Skyrim recommended card: 1 GB RAM NVIDIA or AMD ATI video card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or higher; ATI Radeon 4890 or higher).  Old video card then the ones I showed would be comparable.

  If you choose not to change your diet, a GTS 450 or HD 6750 can work.  I don't see much interest to get a card of 2 GB to this level.  It's going to be better than GDDR3 memory GDDR5.
