• 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.

  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...

  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.

• Dell XPS-8900 does not start

  Worked well to date, 01/01/2016 - Happy New Year, NO!

  Change power cable, use a different outlet (other items such as router and network printer can very well). Computer still does not start.

  When I plug it in the computer power light turns on light and then turns off (this seemed normal before). So if I push the power button computer does not start.

  I don't seem to get an orange light sequence of 2-1 after trying to turn it on - and continues. Maybe some sort of signal POST?

  I can turn the computer (not my first choice) after our journey ahead. But I'd rather get it upward and now running. Have work to do.

  More information. I had four USB3 external drives attached, whose two propulsion and two disks Seagate Wireless - which is recharged through its USB port.

  Removing only the second Seagate drive allows the machine starts. So the question can be too much of a drain on the USB card current.

  Once started, the system seems to work very well with that wireless Seagate drive attached, and it restarts with it attached - just not boot from a condition of Shut Down.

  Not sure really, I understand that, but I can live with that.

  If someone seems something more insidious in this behavior, please notify; bought the XPS-8900 at COSTCO and still about 55 days return if it is defective!

• XPS 8700 does not start after the upgrade memory RAM

  Dear members of the Forum.

  I have a XPS 8700 with the following specifications:

  Core i7 4770 k

  2 TB HARD DRIVE

  16 GB of Ram (4 x 4 GB)

  NVidia GTX 660 (1.5 GB)

  BIOS version A10 (later).

  RAM sticks in my current system are all Micron Tech (here) 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s.

  I had two RAM modules of tech Micron (here) 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s so that I can move on to a total of 24 GB.

  After the discussion here and here, I installed the modules in slots 1 & 2 (both white) so that the system is not able to start. Not even got the bios screen. I also tried 3 & 4 configuration (both black) I ran my computer with the two 8 GB sticks only, with the same unfortunate results.

  I also saw that it is a normal problem of compatibility problems between the types of ram, but I consider that this is not the case. In addition, bad positioning of the modules is not also the case because if I put my old ram glue the computer starts normally.

  I used tape you will static isolation.

  Is the problem, a problem of compatibility between my computer and the RAM modules?

  If the RAM is damaged does these effects (do not start)?

  How can I check if the RAM modules are damaged?

  What would be your suggestions?

  I thank very you much in advance!

  Mauricio

  Hmm, I'd say you two bad sticks of RAM.  If the system POST even with them, I would swap them if you can.  We know that the RAM slots work because you have 4 x 4 sticks without any problem and your computer can take up to 32 GB of RAM.  Your admission that you bought the right kind of RAM, voltage, and speed, etc., so that shouldn't be a problem.  I would say as bad RAM.  When you do not install, just check that you make pairs in each of the colored slots, for example. matching pairs in the slot of white and black.

• Studio XPS 1640 does not start. No bios, no control of fan. Volume + / illuminate, flashes of silent light...

  I have a Studio XPS 1640 (model PP35L) that will not start. Fires along the sound card light upward from left to right and back (as it should), but then stops. Them increase volume and low lights stay and the mute light flashes.

  The cooling fan is not test, or do anything else. Nothing on the screen or the other.

  I have re-seated ram to check it was OK

  A Google search is supposed to replace the motherboard. I did this and the problem persists.

  Someone at - it tricks, tips or advice please?

  Mike

  Thanks for the reply! The problem was a crooked PIN. Once I straightened the PIN and reused thermal paste the laptop worked perfectly. I don't know if I did it, but I didn't have the old motherboard to see.

  Thank you!

• Dell XPS 8500 does not start after the interruption of system restore

  It was one thing to do, but I turned off my PC during the restoration of the system because he took time to complete the process.  The next day I couldn't boot into windows.  I tried the automatic repair feature, but it does not work.  I tried to repair windows using the orignal installation disk, but it does not work.  I tried to install Windows 8 all over again, but I got an error message - media pilot is missing.  I opened the box uninstall the RAM, videocard unplugged and both drives and reinstall, but without success.  I noticed that there is an orange/orange light on the motherboard.  I thought it was the hard drive at the beginning, but now I hope that this is not the motherboard.  Any help will be appreciated.

  You have damaged the image beyond repair.  You need to reinstall from scratch.  Windows to say that an optical drive driver is missing, bad copy of DVD-RW, DVD + R or DVD - R media that was not burned at 1 X 2 X or 4 X, so is not readable.  This is why USB Flash Drive 16 GB or more is recommended rather than the DVD player to the installation media.

  Why doesn't my CD or DVD drive?

  A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing
  A media computer driver needs is missing

• Dell XPS 8500 does not start

  Hello!

  I can't from my Dell XPS 8500.  The Green POWER light turns on, but when I press the power on button flashes white then turns off. Then flashes white once again and turns off, and continues to do this.

  Also, it seems that something is you try to start on the inside.

  I have attached a simple video of his behavior.

  Hello Nice of you to hear. Seems to be a bad connection to one of the memory modules.
  These problems occur and nothing to worry about. Should it happen in the future give US a shout.

• Windows does not start - XPS 8300

  I have a XPS8300 (2010) who does not successfully start windows.  System Restore does not resolve the problem.  Especially when I try to start it, the HARD drive runs very fast, Windows does not start, the screen turns off, but the machine does not stop automatically.  A few times I was able to press F8 and load it to the ' last known good state ", but this does not work normally.  When it works (like now) the function of machine reasonably well and I can access the files.  So I think that the HARD drive may be OK.

  I ran the ePST - he tried repeatedly - and he never performs the test.  No error code.  The screen turns off and then sometimes it just hangs. But earlier it gave me a code of "beep".  It's "1 - 2 - 3.

  Tried to run the Dell diagnostic online, but it's pretty slow, I can't tell if it has "hooked", or if it is still ongoing.

  Would appreciate recommendation on next steps.

  A flaky power supply can cause these problems, and they are quite common.

• Windows 7 x 64 installation DVD does not start on a Dell XPS One 2710

  I apologize in advance for the long post...

  Just got a Dell XPS One 2710.  Lot has happened, but let me clarify the current number as briefly as possible: the machine does not start from the HARD internal disk or the Windows 7 Installer x 64 DVD.  He gets through loading files and then gray progress bar when its colorful animation it blue screens with error CACHE_MANAGER.

  I ran the diagnostic, including tests extended memory tests, and they have not found any error in what either.

  When I was troubleshooting this problem previously, in some sort the motherboard got bricks (I don't know what exactly I did to cause that), but Dell has since replaced.  The first motherboard had BIOS version A09.  It has installed A11.

  I can't find any BIOS settings combination that will allow even the Installer Windows DVD to start with the Blue error screen CACHE_MANAGER.  I tried the UEFI boot modes and legacy, I tried RAID and AHCI.  I tried with and without loading legacy OPROMs.

  What I ultimately do is set the start mode of RAID so that I can use the SSD mSATA as a cache ("Accelerate" in the Intel RST Panel).  But I can not even the installer to start on where I can load drivers RST (assuming it's even necessary).

  Other posts have suggested problems with memory, but I took each of the two DIMMS one at a time and I always had the same problem.

  Should I suspect the hard drive?  When we arrived at the machine, he seemed to be running Windows 8 very well - until we went on the way to the side dark and downgraded to Windows 7.  Then once we started to have errors on updates, things has quickly degenerated from there.  In addition, again, diagnoses don't find any problems.

  Any suggestions on how to get at least this puppy to start?   .. .or what have we done wrong?

  Thanks EJN.  It turns out that there is certainly a hardware problem on this machine.  It was a refurbished Dell making machine and apparently when they renovated the it, they missed the real problem.

  The way I know that it is material, it's that we bought actually 2 of them at the same time.  When I started to suspect the material, I decided to try this process on the other.  He worked like a knife through hot butter.  But I will say that the combination of the BIOS set to boot legacy mode and still start the installation with the option to UEFI DVD in the start menu was not easy to understand at first.  But when I followed the correct steps, everything worked very well.

  For those of you who might try this, here are a few things I learned along the way:

  1. According to EJN, take the time to get/burn a CD to install Windows 7 x 64 that already has SP1 on it.  If you go to preserve the UEFI partitions and the boot hard disk, you must have x 64.  x 86 (32-bit) does not support UEFI.

  2 unzip the RAID drivers to the * root * your USB flash or floppy drive and have it in the machine when you start the installation DVD.  I could be wrong, but it seemed to me that the installer looked for them without having to explicitly say it loads the me.

  3. as said EJN, set your BIOS boot legacy mode but use F12 at startup to bring up the Windows Boot Manager and start the installation in UEFI boot mode DVD.  If you want to implement an SSD as cache for your hard disk, you will need to set the SATA controller in RAID mode.

  4. I had partitions UEFI and was able to leave them intact.  Here's a very brief explanation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301%28v=ws.10%29.aspx your results may vary.

  5 take this one as a possible suggestion that is worth what you pay for it: when I got the USB with RAID drivers at the root before starting the installation DVD, I didn't need to load the drivers explicitly.  As I said, it seems that the installation program has been smart enough to find and load what it takes, but honestly, I don't know.  When I load them explicitly, I got errors saying that the installer could not install on the partition, I had chosen.  Makes me think that I could have loaded both times.  What worked for me was NOT explicitly their cargo.

  6. you MUST be at your PC when Setup has completed copy and unpack the installation files.  Don't forget that you have your BIOS set to start legacy mode.  So when he tries to restart to complete the installation, it will try to start using the table inherited from on your hard disk - who is not here because you did a UEFI installation with partitions for UEFI.  So when Setup restarts the first time, you might as well get into the BIOS here and choose the UEFI boot mode.  If you do not, you will need to grab it whenever it restarts using F12 and manually tell it to boot from your hard drive using the UEFI.

  These steps, you should get installed and running.  But another thing I had to understand that when first, I installed and executed the dashboad Intel RST, there is no acceleration option even if my mSATA SSD was found healthy.  I found that if it is formatted and partitioned, you actually go into Disk Manager and delete the partition before the RST dashboard he sees as available for use as a cache.

  I hope this helps others out of me.  It's a heck of a lot easier when the hardware is not bad!

• XPS 8700 - new mSata does not start unless...

  I had my 8700 for a little more than a year and from the beginning, I put a 256 gb 2.5 SSD and everything has been good... unfortunately I ran out of room so I'm a 512 GB mSata and installed with the normal hiccups (bios setting, etc.) and for the most part, it works fine... installed win7 - all my programs games, media and all that. Well, now that I have everything there I was trying to format the original 1 TB hdd which served the initial boot (later converted to my games drive) drive and it refuses to format 'windows cannot format the system disk partition' I went into the BIOS and noticed his 1st listed in the order of the boot sequence. OK... so I put the mSata as first on the boot sequence and people with other disabilities 2 boot sequence HARD drives... Unfortunately, after that it does not start, say no boot device available. I tried other settings and the only way I can get my OS to load is if I put it on AHCI - legacy - then set my empty 1 TB (manually remove games) under the 1st boot device and set my msata #2. I want to use the 1 TB in a different computer and I want all my available bays opened for larger storage players when I need... but most of all I want to solve it because he needs to solve... Someone has an idea what I am doing wrong? any help is appreciated.

  Specifications:

  XPS 8700

  I7-4770

  BIOS A10

  M550 crucial mSata

  OS was initially earn 8.1... I upgraded to win 7 home

  The boot sequence is dynamic, so it does not matter if change you it in the bios. Each listed item will be sought for the boot files according to what is currently installed. Because your startup files are not on the ssd, it will never start to this player. Windows must be installed on the ssd from scratch, so you lose everything and have to reinstall everything. If you have now works well, leave it alone and save yourself a lot of trouble. Startup files are still on the original drive.

• Laptop does not start after installing vista sp2

  My Dell XPS 1530 stopped working after installing vista sp2. He gave me instructions for installation, step 1 of 3 and it went all that they way up to step 3 of 3 and said its closure and never came back...
  Please let me know, how to start the laptop.

  Hello GoogleGuru,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
  Because your computer does not start until the desktop computer, we were able to try the system restore to a point before you install SP2.
  Thus, with the computer is shut down. Press the power button, then press on and press F8 until you see the startup options, and then it will give you the ability to boot to the last known good configuration. (select it).

  If this does not work, you can try to boot from the Vista DVD and use the recovery console to perform a restore of the system to another point in time.

  Post back with the results.

  Thank you

• Vista does not start, fails to Startup Repair indicating that the version of the operating system is incompatible with Startup Repair tool

  I use a laptop Dell XPS M1330, under Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. The laptop froze, I tried to do a system restore, which did not work. Now the laptop goes into startup each time put on repair. A message window appears saying "Startup Repair cannot repair the computer automatically. Startup Repair window says "Startup Repair could not detect a problem. Diagnostics details say: Root cause found: the operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair tool.

  I tried to use the Dell Factory Image Restore to restore the system, but it does not end. I get an error message instead. There is no details, it's just a small window with an X and the Word error.

  I also tried to use resettlement Dell DVD, but that doesn't seem to work either.

  Vista does not start at all, not in either safe mode.

  I just ran to the Dell Diagnostics tool, and that is to say that the integrity test of memory has failed... No idea how to solve this problem?

  I'm at a loss and helps woukld be appreciated.

  Hi James,

  Ø are you using the correct version of the Vista disc to run Startup Repair?

  I suggest to run the diagnostic tool memory WINRE mode and check if the memory (RAM) installed on the computer works fine.

  Follow the steps below to start the computer using the WINRE and run the memory diagnostic tool.

  A. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.

  B. restart your computer.

  C. Si you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

  Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.

  D. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

  E. click on repair your computer.

  F. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

  G. in the menu system, SelectMemory diagnostic tool Recovery Options.

  Once scanning is complete, check to see if the problem is resolved.

  Access the link below to learn more about Windows recovery options in Windows Vista.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-know-if-my-computer-has-a-memory-problem

  If you have several sticks of RAM installed on the computer, you can try to remove one of the RAM stick and check if it works very well. Also, you try to exchange the RAM sticks and check if one of the RAM is originally this issue and if it needs to be replaced.

  Note: If you are not aware of the evolution and swaping the stick of RAM on the computer, it is best to contact the computer manufacturer for help on this and you can do it at your own risk.

  You can also contact Dell support and check if you need to replace any hardware.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  Thank you and best regards,

• 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.

  Same thing here on a MacBook Pro (13 inch, late 2011)

• Black MacBook does not start

  I have a 10 year old black Macbook, which does not start when a battery is installed.  If it is connected without battery installed, it lights up, but if there is a battery in it, even if it is plugged in, it will get the startup sound and the screen of the Apple gray, then turn off.  I got a new battery and charge it where the charger turned green, but the results are the same.

  Any suggestions?

  It is difficult to say what is happening with this machine, since the time and wear are considerations. I don't know what version of the operating system that you use, but there is a sequence of things you should do - in order of severity.
