• Update for Dell XPS 8300

  Will be the 02 G-P4-2663-KR of EVGA Geforce GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 2 GB GDDR5 192 bits PCI-E 3.0 x 16 HDCP and the Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus RS-550-PCAR-E3 550w ATX12V V2.3 power supply work in my computer Dell XPS 8300. I ordered end of March 2012 and he received mid April 2012.

  Hi FuzzyTrex,

  Dell XPS 8300 comes with Intel H67 Chipset and a PCI Express x 16 card reader for the expansion of video card options. Dell has tested XPS 8300 with the following video cards:

  • ATI Radeon HD 5450 5670 5770 5870 6670 6770 6870 6950
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 GTX 460 GTX560Ti GT545 GT420

  However, Dell has not tested 660 GTX video card with XPS 8300, many users have reported he will be working and compatible with the system.

  EVGA GTX 660 requires a minimum of 450W power supply and has a maximum circulation of power of 140W. As you said that you would improve the power of 550W, the video card should work with this configuration.

  For installation/replacement of the video card, you can view XPS 8300 repair here.

  Note: Make sure that you follow the instructions in the manual before installing the video card.

  I hope this helps.

• Question of XPS 8300 PCIe

  I tried to find an answer to the question and hope someone here can help.

  I have a XPS with an I5 2300 processor 2.8 8300. The tag indicates it was made in August 2011. The PCIe slots on the mobo are PCIe (1) x 16, which is occupied by a graphics card and (3) connectors PCIe x 1 which are empty. My question is about the three empty slots and what generation these slots are - PCIe 1.0, PCIe 2.0 or PCIe 3.0?

  I can't find the answer to this question. The reason for the concern is the computer has no USB 3.0 ports, and I am interested in installing a USB 3.0 PCIe card. I read that you need to match the generation card PCI with the same build location for optimum performance. In other words, if these niches is only PCIe 1.0, it seems unwise to pay the sum of $ for a PCIe 2.0 (or 3.0 PCIe) card if they'll only opearte to bandwidth 1.0?

  Thnx in advance for any help.

  Hi Scewter54,

  PCI-E 2.0 and PCI-E Gen2 are exactly the same thing. XPS 8300 comes with Intel H67 Chipset.

  Answer please for more details.

• XPS 8300 system crashes then stop - 3 beeps

  I need help.  Recently, my XPS 8300 crashes after about 1 minute after the system starts and stops it down and restarts automatically.  on restart I get nothing but 3 beeps and the power button is orange.

  Help, please.  Brian

  What happens when you press F2?

  Win 10, let's start with the PC off. Press the power button and press IMMEDIATELY on F2 (not him hold). The 'window' (no pun intended) to press F2 is very low because Win 10 starts the boot process very quickly.

• My Dell XPS 8300 hard drive fails? Intel Rapid Storage detects the error when starting upwards.

  My computer (dell xps 8300) has recently frozen and when it restarts it scored one of my RAID 0 hard drives as being a mistake. Surprisingly, my computer still works as always and after an investigation, I traced the gel to vuze trying to check a file after he was already down. I deleted the files causing the freeze and have not yet encountered any more freezing problems. But I'm still very worried, so I ran a disk check, who quickly said the disc is clean, and I also ran tests HD (Long & short) dell support center several times and they always say that readers are working properly. Today, I ran a checkdisk windows another who had a lot more time but seem to come clean. But to restart the computer disk was marked later once again as being a mistake. So I ran the tests of short and long and difficult road dell support center, once again, and the sound still saying everything is working properly. I then decided to try to start some other diagnostics of hard disk: seagate seatools and rescuer of Western Digital. The player has passed the tests of the Seatool, but almost immediately failed the tests of rescuer WD giving the error that there are too many bad sectors. Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated!

  Lack of an operating system is the message you get when in fact there is a properly peripheral storage seen by your BIOS, but it is not a valid partition with a valid boot sector table.

  I fear that you may have installed the operating system on a RAID-0 configuration and only now try to start from one half of the band?  Yes, you can WD 500 GB RAID-0 an and a 1 TB Seagate together.  It would be foolish (same capacity as a single player, but all the falls of RAID-0) but the computer doesn't know any better.

  The RAID configuration (breaking apart the RAID) must arrive before the installation of the o/s.  The RAID/mobo card is one of the early stages of the process, he takes these 2 physical disks and mounted as a storage to the motherboard, allowing it to boot from it etc.

  No matter what is happening currently, my advice would be to remove the RAID from the system discs.  You don't want a broken drive / failure connected, even if you do not use it because the computer will continue to warn / complain the RAID broke, the startup BIOS will be keep showing you a disc is seen mistakes SMART, and finally the failed drive can degrade to the point it actually damage something.

• XPS 8300 - Ivy Bridge & RAM support

  I tried looking for a forum, post, comment... anything which confirms what is the maximum RAM supported in a Dell XPS 8300 and also whether Ivy Bridge CPU are taken in charge or not.

  I am yet to find anything conclusive (Please share if you have), so, I did the test myself and can confirm the following:

  • Ivy Bridge CPU compatibility: No.
  • Maximum RAM: 32 GB

  I tested my 8300 XPS with Intel Core i7-3770 processor (8 M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz) and the system would not POST. No beep codes; just would not AFTER. Then I'm under BIOS A06, of course, this has not helped. I read on this forum someone talking about a BIOS A07 which came bundled with their XPS 8300 (0Y2MRG) of replacement motherboard. If anyone knows how to get this BIOS A07 I'd like to get my hands on it to see if it offers support of Ivy Bridge.

  Regarding the RAM, I am running 32 GB of RAM without problem. I use 4 x G.Skill RipJawsX 8 GB (1x8GB) 1333 MHz DDR3 PC3 - 10666C 9 Memory Sticks (F3-10666CL9S-8GBXL). The BIOS and OS the two report 32 GB installed and everything works well.

  I hope someone benefits from my findings and I also hope that someone out there has access to the BIOS A07 is ready to share.

  You already know the answer, but I share this as another data point and using another brand for memory.

  Maximum RAM supported Dell for this system is 16 GB. However, it works very well with 32 GB of RAM. I've used this kit of memory in mine:

  Corsair XMS3 32 GB (4X8Go) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) memory (CMX32GX3M4A1333C9) Fund

  No doubt others works fine, too. The only downside is that most Dells would come with Windows 7 Home Premium installed and which only allows access to 16 GB of RAM. You must have Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition to access all 32 GB of RAM. You can make the Windows Anytime Upgrade to buy Win7 Pro if you want to go this route, it as if by magic basically makes your existing install in Win7 Pro, so you don't have to reinstall anything.

  If you put more than 16 GB in a system of Home Premium, when you right click on computer and go to properties, you will see the memory listed as 32 GB (16 GB usable). So the operating system you will see everything, it just won't let you USE it all. Hard, there is?

  I had looked at this issue and not have anything solid for an answer so I tried myself and write about my success.

• XPS 8300: Install new hard drive 3 TB BSOD results after imaging but not after Win7 clean

  I have a XPS 8300 and the original Seagate 2 TB hard drive is dead. Because being forced to install a new HARD drive, I opted for 3 TB and bought a WD because I had horrible luck with Seagate repeatedly.

  Anyway, I installed the new HARD drive and booted from the Windows 7 64 bit Pro installation disc and attached my external drive to backup and choose the backup image to the new disk. It completed without error, but when the computer restarts, I get a blue screen of death with the 7B stop code. I tried to put the HARD drive in a box and attached to another computer, and all my image files are there so I know that the computer was able to write the image to the new HARD disk. How to fix the BSOD errors? I set to update to the latest version of the BIOS (A06) but always the blue screen. I tried to install the latest Intel drivers also and which does not seem to do anything.

  Frustrated, I installed Windows 7 clean on this drive and I am writing this message from him. The drive appears in my computer as a 2 TB. Disk Management displays 100 MB System Reserved Partition, Partition C: of 2047 GB and 746 GB unallocated.

  Why a new installation does not seem to work (I know that I would have to format the 746 GB to use it and to give it a new drive letter) but the imagery that the disc breaks down. What Miss me?

  I've seen a lot of posts on using Intel drivers to solve similar problems. These drivers get breaths during the imaging process? Should they be installed before the imagery of the backup? (Thought that I did, but maybe I didn't do it right - their installation can be verified before the disk imaging?) Tried to call Dell and Windows support... am no where in a hurry.

  Hi LG1382,

  You cannot start Windows 7 on a 3 TB drive. You can use it for data, but not as the system drive. Windows 7 can only start TPG on systems with BIOS UEFI, which does not the 8300.

• New Dell XPS 8300 constantly lock up... Help

  Hi, I have bought and received last week a new XPS 8300... Intel Core i5-2300, 8 GB of RAM... of the big problems right off the bat.

  The computer hangs regularly completely, making the mouse + keyboard is useless, and the only way out is to do a hard reboot (button for 5 seconds to turn it off, then turn it back on). There is no blue screen of death, rather the image on the monitor just freezes. What happens once per hour, which is totally unacceptable. There is no apparent trigger, it occurs while I'm on the Internet, while I'm in MS office, while the screen saver is on, etc.

  At first I thought that it could be a driver problem with the monitor (my Samsung, Dell no), but I installed the proper drivers and it still occurs. Then I thought it could be malicious software (even on a new computer), but a thorough analysis revealed nothing. I'm afraid now that it is a problem of the CPU heat and took to temporarily put a fan life-size in the face of the case of the Tower, which is already well ventilated. This has apparently slowed the fair of the grip, but they still arise. I have already installed a few programs and transferred a few files and really don't want to go through the hassle of referred to Dell for weeks.

  Any thoughts? Anyone with similar problems? It's maddening.

  Good news: the new video card works great.

  Problem: Freeze the system hard. To see if you're hard frozen, press [CAPSLOCK] - If your keyboard led doesn't change, then you're hard frozen.

  Overview of the steps:

  * Full system reinstall twice

  * All the drivers reinstalled twice (DELL and manufacturer)

  All change memory (and back)

  * Supply voltage test

  * Test memory full w / using Diagnostics: tester of Dell Diagnostics Memory Diagnostic Windows, Linux (Hiren s)

  * Checking the system with the Dell Diagnostics.

  * CPU - Z checking to ensure this chipset was not in the recall list.

  After all the Frost was still involved. So with the system in the State of origin (via Dell Restore), I installed a 9800GT graphics card and the gel stopped. I checked the ATI again, freezing, older drivers still froze. Reference Dell shipped a GTX560ti and the system works perfectly.

  It is not a widespread report of all cards ATI in i7 systems does not so I don't think it's just a driver problem, I think that the problem is related to this chipset supporting not communication with the GPU via the ATI drivers.

  Solution: Replace video card with Dell supplied GTX560 ti

  ----

  Note: For a few users NVIDIA with the gel, please follow all the troubleshooting procedures in hand with Support from Dell. Likely to start site: drivers, Ram, video card, storage.

  I hope everyone has good luck with them!

There is a drivers and Utilities disc also came with the PC, but I'm very unsure of what drivers to install and in what order.  Would appreciate your help in explaining to me what drivers to install and in which order, here is the information you request.

  Thank you!

• XPS 8300 & Windows 10 - NIC & Intel RST problems

  A day I watching a notification in the taskbar bar saying my I found was on my way to a free update of Windows 10 in Win 7.  Later, I came to realize that Windows was making changes under the hood.

  Change of .NET Framework has erupted following Microsoft Expression Web and Capture One Pro. After the upgrade they automagically work once again. Stop this process needed to back up the PC and antics with windows update in order to block the update which starts the upgrade to Win10.

  I do not any notice, pushed me into running on this PC, Dell services, but anyway I'm here because I left the proceeding upgrade.

  Uh oh. Problems. Crashing LAN (WAN is fine) and Intel RST service does not, but IAstorDataSvc consumes 15% cpu. I went to Dell and they recommend does not update this machine.

  I tried to roll back the driver for the CARD without success and I ordered a card adapter to fit. I tried to launch the Intel chipset update utility, but he could not find the compatible devices.

  My more immediate concern is this PC is running RAID 0 and Intel RST service does not work properly. My understanding is that there is no cancellation of the RAID 0 unless you are ready to reinstall the operating system.

  What are my options? Can I disable the startup of Intel services associated with this process? Is there another way to update the RST services that work with my XPS8300? Another option, I don't think?

  TIA,

  RandyN

• XPS 8300 will not identify data reader 5 to

  I have a desktop computer XPS 8300, Windows 7/64, 12 GB of RAM. Boot drive is a 500 GB SSD, and there is a SATA 2 TB of data. I'm a photographer, so I need a lot of data storage.

  I just bought a Toshiba MD04ACA500 5 to to use as a data drive (NO boot).

  My XPS 8300 can see the drive, but insists on the fact that it contains only 500 GB of storage, not 5 TB. I did the following:

  • Run Diskpart from a DOS window.
  • Run Diskmgmt.msc;
  • Run the tool to partition a third party
  • Also, I went through Windows KB 2581408 procedure of adding a player of great size.

  No matter what I do, the drive is detected as only 500 GB.

  The XPS 8300 is possible to work with a 5 TB drive? If so, how?

  Thank you, Ed

  Disks over 2 TB software needed to work with disks of large capacity and NEED 64 Bit Windows.  INTEL RST integrated in win7 is 8.x, which means that he WILL NOT see large capacity disks. Seagate manage it with the driver and utilities.

  • 2 t of learning beyond
  • Interactive Guide for disks more larger-Than - 2 TB

  http://www.Seagate.com/support/downloads/beyond-2TB/

  INTEL RST 10.1 at least is NECESSARY for advanced format drives.

  With windows vista or 7 install ATA mode then the microsoft patch is necessary before moving on to the AHCI.

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/922976

  Once passed to Ahci and work, you install the version of the RST that works for your model.

  Latest and most recent versions of the decline of the RST support more older chipsets.

  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.

  10.1 or greater is required for the GPT partitions greater than 2 TB.

  9.6 or higher is required for larger than 120 Gig aka advanced format drives.

• XPS 8300 - Ethernet controller driver

  Hello

  Maybe one of you can help me understand this problem:

  I just did a new install of Windows 7 (64-bit, home premium) on my XPS 8300, given that I just put in a SSD and wanted to go back to zero with it. Everything went well, except for one thing: in Device Manager ethernet controller is complain he has not installed a driver... The chipset utility and all Dell for the XPS drivers are installed, however.

  My system has no WIFI, so I'm stuck without network on this computer...

  Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

  Try this

  There is a direct link to the XPS 8300 LAN driver from the Dell site.  This pop on a USB stick and install on your xps 8300.

  I also often used the utility to update the driver from the Intel site for my XPS 8300 (here downloadcenter.intel.com however, for analysis to be performed, you must of course a functional on the target system network connection.

• XPS 8300 cannot see USB 3.0 card

  "Late 2010" Dell card mother 0Y2MRG, Bios A06. New installation of Windows 7, all updates applied. Latest chipset drivers.

  I tried 2 different cards USB 3.0 PCIe with the same result. There is no indication in Device Manager. No question mark or exclamation points. Just don't register. Cannot install drivers because there is no device. Tried different slots, same result. BIOS has limited options, and none seem to solve anything in this regard. Anyone who encountered this? It seems that many XPS 8300 users have installed the USB 3.0 card. I've only met one or two references to this problem without solution listed.

  I solved the problem. I used a card specified as PCIe 2.0 with a NEC (Renesas) chip. I have installed the drivers first, plugged the card in a rejoiced when I saw set up a new device after Windows starts. Works very well. No conflicts. Installation went exactly as you would expect any PCIe card. 3 USB devices operate normally and one obviously higher speed than USB 2. I have not tested officially yet.

  It's the map: Silverstone Tek PCI Express Card 2 x USB 3.0 Ports external and internal 19 pins of the Dual-Port (EC04-P)

  Apparently the Dell motherboard is picky. I don't know if the question was specific 2.0 PCIe or if he liked the NEC chip. Or both.

• Check read the code 0000 T500 failed error even with a new hard drive

  Hello

  My T500 was slammed very hard one day, once I reboot, he worked for half an hour and gave up. I tested via the BIOS, he gave me code 0000 read failed error check.

  I presume that the HD is dead, inserted an a healthy Interior and works very well for a few hours and give up once again, tested by BIOS gave me the same error code.

  I was wondering what problem could be?

  You can also prove that it is a SATA interface error by testing two hard drives in a box USB or Firewire. If you can live without portability, then perhaps this is also an option to use the T500 in the future.
