• XPS 8300 GPU upgrade with parts question

  Hey all,.

  I'm looking to upgrade my GPU without having to touch my food or any other room in my XPS 8300. I am running with processor i5 to 3.00 GHz, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB harddrive (from what I remember off the top of my head since I'm at work). I read in many places that GTX 750 it would be a fine upgrade without having a problem of PSU or of the motherboard, but before buying, I thought I would ask if everything would be fine without compatibility issues. The link here is the card I have planned to go with, but wanted to know if there is all the more powerful cards out there that I can possibly use. I always use my AMD HD 5450 stock card that's why I'm planning an upgrade. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• XPS 8300 GPU Upgrade

  Hello

  I bought my XPS 8300 in 2011. He's been good for me over the years, but now I find that I could use a GPU upgrade. It handles most of the games, but barely meets the minimum. I'm still running Windows 7, but plan on spending at 10 at the end of the year. It has the stock power 460W Dell I have probably as well to replace it. I want the best move that will run on this system and fit in the case. It has the following specifications:
  CPU [email protected]
  16 GB of RAM
  GPU AMD HD 6700

  Thank you.

  As a reminder, Dell will not validate Windows 8/8.1/10 on this model. So, you will need to look elsewhere for drivers.

• 4 beeps on XPS 8300 motherboard at startup

  I installed a new graphics card in my computer and it didn't work. Now my motherboard does not work and emit 4 beeps at startup.

  The graphics card is a MSI 970 GTX 4G games.

  I also have upgraded to EVGA 500 watt power supply in order to is not a problem.

  I ordered a new motherboard from newegg I got this one because I am limited by my LGA1155 socket for my processor.

  I want to know if my motherboard is recoverable and if there is no better option for my situation.

  If put you everything back and it does not, then the insufficient power of 500W damaged HARD DISK ETC., card MOTHER, CPU, RAM. You start with what is called work.  This isn't probably the cpu is fried because it beeps.

• XPS 8300 PSU upgrade?

  I'll buy a 8300 with the following combination:

  Processor Intel core i7-2600 (3.4 GHz, 8 MB of Cache)
  8 GB (4x2Go) DDR3 SDRAM to 1 333 MHz
  3 TB (1.5TBx2) SATA RAID 0 (data striping)
  1.25 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce (r) GTX 560 Ti

  I studied the 560 ti, and apparently it needs a higher POWER supply, which I believe is the power supply? I am not very computer in this area - how I discovered that the power supply of the computer above?  On another forum, they informed me that I should get at least 700w for the 560ti. They also said that it would be difficult to find a PSU connector. Basically, I would appreciate help in the choice of a power supply for my dell, based on what other Dell users indicate that they found worked well.

  Thanks, I really appreciate it!

  I will repeat what I said.  If an option, such that the specific video card is available for purchase at the command, the system will work with any power supply is installed.   It was noted, on the Section of office equipment, new systems with graphics cards in commercial versions of cards that require a certain power supply power, however the version provided in the new Dell is a model of lower power needs and therefore works with the power supply provided Dell.

  It is worth noting that, in most cases, Dell tends to underestimate their power supplies, so a power of 470 watts is more like a 550 watt detail or even more.

  I have a Dell Dimension E510 desktop computer.  It has power to 310 watts stock.  I'm walking the CPU maxed out the memory, has added a second optical drive, added a second hard drive and updated the video card to a Galaxy GTS450OC video card and everything works without problem.

• XPS 8300 upgrade for 60 fps on GTA V

  This is my first post, so I'm sorry if I am breaking the rules of the forum or posting in the wrong section.

  I'm looking to upgrade my XPS 8300. There the processor i7, 6 GB of ram and ATI Radeon 5670 CPU. If possible, I want to spend less than $300. I want 60 fps or more on moderated video settings.

  What are my options? I think I should start with a good video card. Should I upgrade my RAM 8 GB? I don't know what types of RAM are compatible with XPS 8300 motherboard. Do you think I should get a 120 GB SSD, reinstall the OS and only install GTA V on the SSD? The reason why I am considering an SSD is due to loading of those times... Incase you haven't noticed, I'm a huge noob when it comes to this. I don't know the basics. Thank you! :)

  I think I should start with a good video card.

  Yes and a power upgrade. Note that only feeds 5.9 inches long or less will adjust the chassis, but you can move the motherboard and other viscera in a third party with the best cooling chassis.

  A look at video cards shows that $300 will buy GPU performance much more than the top-of-the-line cards from 2012, when the game is released. However, you should be able to provide the upgrade.

  I don't know what types of RAM are compatible with XPS 8300 motherboard.

  It's a recent motherboard, so most types of DDR3 memory should work. However, 6 GB should be enough.

  HossMan1

  reason why I am considering an SSD is because of loading of those times...

  Yes, an SSD would improve loading times, and I recommend that you install the operating system on it and the game. You will enjoy a huge helping hand to the performance.

• Card mother XPS 8300

  Hello

  I think the motherboard in my XPS 8300 is trying to die, or at least give me a lot of trouble.

  I get different blue screens lately, quite often (up to twice a day). Almost everytime, they were accompanied by sounds from my hard drive (for example, the disc to stop spinning, etc.). If naturally my first step was to get another hard drive and try to back up my data (thinking my hard drive was dying).

  I tried with various programs of cloning (AOMEI Backupper, CloneZilla and so on) and they have all failed to clone the drive (usually say they could not create the new disk partition table). I then tried to install Windows 10 fresh on the new drive (with the old drive disconnected) and who also failed with windows saying that it could not format the partition just created on the new drive.

  Because the drive is new, I thought, as a test, I will try to connect to another machine to see if it still would not work. Well, it works fine. I am currently cloning my old drive to my new as I wrte it on the other machine. So at least there is that - my data should be safe. I might have bought a hard drive for nothing, but that doesn't matter that much.

  An extra tidbit of information, it's that even starting from the cloning software CD was much faster on this machine on my XPS 8300.

  So I think at the very least, the drive on the motherboard controller gives me bad.

  Now, my question.

  I want to try buying a replacement motherboard, because the whole machine is still very fast (the CPU is one of the first core i7s, but it is always fast and I replaced the card graphics and RAM over the years). So if I was able to solve this problem, I could always get a lot of use from this computer.

  Should I try to get the same motherboard model (i.e. a replacement motherboard for Dell this type exact) Dell or that I can find on ebay for example?

  Or should I get a micro-ATX Socket 1155 motherboard to another brand of renown such as ASUS or other?

  Honestly, I'm afraid that if I get an original parts of the same exact type, it will just fail again somehow not too long from now. This motherboard is actually a replacement that Dell sent a technician to install in my machine after I bought it, because the motherboard of the computer delivered with had a defect... And now this, so I'm not exactly sure in original spare parts from Dell...

  I found information on this thread:

  Link to thread

  on this same forum explaining what are the specific connectors of the XPS 8300 motherboard, so I should be able to connect any motherboard that fits the case.

  What are your recommendations? Thanks in advance.

  Hello RoHe,

  I ran thorough tests of RAM and HDD diagnosis. It took a long time (about 12 hours), but revealed no problem.

  I was able to replace my motherboard.

  I wanted to let you know also, that Windows was able to start on the new motherboard (after a phase of 'prepare the pilots' as when you install at the start). Also, it was not enabled when I started, but I was able to use the Windows 7 Pro key that came with my Dell to activate the already installed Windows 10 Pro, it worked like a charm.

  So it was way less problems you said it would be, and now my machine is in excellent working condition.

  Thank you.

• The upgrade of my Dell XPS 8300

  Hello

  Currently, I use my Dell XPS 8300 with set up the following:

  • Intel core i7 - 2600 to 3.4 GHz
  • 8 GB RAM
  • GPU: Radeon HD 5770
  • PSU: 460W (AC460AD-00)

  It has served me well but shows it's age while I was looking to upgrade the graphics card and the power supply if necessary. But this is the first time I did something like this then I'd some tips / warnings on the potential pitfalls before buying something.

  After doing some background reading, I was thinking get a GTX 970 and upgrade the PSU, but I would like to know, questions, I could deal with that. I heard there were problems with XPS 8300 bios don't do not work well with graphics cards. I am currently on AO3, but there is no problem if necessary upgrade.

  My budget is around £400-£500 if anyone knows the best ways to update my PC.

  Thank you.

  Consider using this for now until you can buy new. Spending that much on unnecessary updates are not handy on a computer that is a few years old. You have a good installation now - 8 GB of ram, big power, i7 cpu that is best for your motherboard - as long as everything works. New computers can easily be purchased for what your budget allows for upgrades. The only thing to consider is a video card a little better that your power supply will take place as well as better control that you can use when you get a new computer. Ignore the upgrade of processor since that is not worth the expense or effort for minimal returns. You most likely impossible to switch the cpu to a newer version without replacing the motherboard. I would make sure to have the latest and probably last - bios A06.

• 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, upgrade video card

  Hi I have a Dell XPS8300

  It came with the card AMD Radeon HD 6450, but there isn't enough good run the latest games, not even with settings very low... This is why I intend to upgrade that.

  The problem is that I don't know if the map I want to buy is compatible or if I could make it work... I'm really new to this so I need a little help please...

  It's the map: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclock-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-3753-KR/dp/B00IDG3IDO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1401905637&sr=8-4&keywords=nvidia+gtx+780

  Im not in that of a hardcore gamer who wants ultra graphics on all games, I want to just that my PC to run the latest games at least on a medium to high heat (or even low) with decent FPS...

  I believe that my 6 GB DDR3 RAM and Intel core i5-2300 (2.80 Ghz) with this video card should be enough.

  Please let me know (any expert on the subject) if I can use this card without problem so I can just click 'buy' haha. Or if it something else I have to make it work please let me know

  Thanks :)!

  GTX 560 it is no longer on the market so there is no need to buy this card unless you found it used for $100 or less on ebay.  The GTX 750 Ti is a better deal for a new card and I'd get this one.  I've seen where users have for their XPS 8300 GTX 750 it and it works fine.

• Change of motherboard Dell XPS 8300

  Hello

  I have a Dell XPS 8300 since 2011. Unfortunately, my printer ruined my motherboard with an electric shock. I put another card mother microATX in my PC? I've heard that some people had problems with Windows 7, it works with the card mother Dell OEM, but other wise I heard that it is only in the USA, a problem, because we in Austria have other laws. If it works, the old RAM will work with the new motherboard?

  Printers give electric shocks.  This is probably a power surge which fried the Mo and probably other hardware in the computer. Dell computers have motherboards owners so you would need a new Board from dell. It would be a waste of money to buy anything until you determine the extent of the damage. All the ram, processor, pci cards, etc. could also be goners. Best bet is to buy a new computer. Buy a computer for your new UPS battery backup unit.

• Person we know what power supply is on the XPS 8300

  Hello

  I have a Dell XPS 8300 and you want to buy a video card double to support two monitors.  I read a few different items to a 500 Watt power supply.  I looked on the delivery, when I bought the 8300, but it does not show the power.  Other than opening the case, is there a way I can find food that is installed?

  Thank you!!!

  I think it's the same thing that the 8500 is 460W, which has two six pin PCIe power connectors.

  What exact card do you?

  In addition, if you have not opened the file in a while, you could do this (outside) with a can of compressed clean air on the dust bunnies.

  Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
  Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

  Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
  A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

  • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

  • Install Windows 7

  • Reinstall all your files

  • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

  These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.
