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.

  • HP Pavilion running Vista system crashes then it said 'cannot find Windows.

    I have a HP Pavilion otherwise very satisfied with Vista and installed Service Pack 2. Lately, unfortunately, the machine often accidents / crashes. Sometimes, the problem is resolved after you restart Windows.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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?

    Hello peoples,
    I just installed an iMicro Bluetooth adapter on my computer, and then I wanted to restart my computer. When I turned it on, loading like regular until right after the Vista loading screen, when the Blue Screen of Death (a blue screen with an error on this subject) flashed for about 1/2 second and then restarted my computer. Then he asked me if I wanted to load startup repair or simply start WIndows normally and I chose to start WIndows normally, but it's the same thing, so when the computer is restarted again, I chose the Startup Repair. He said that if I inserted an external device in my computer for me to remove it. But I had no external devices in my computer at the same time! I already pulled the iMicro adapter! So when my computer restarted again, I pressed the button Lenovo Care and charge of Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4. (This is where I am now, typing away in the Opera browser.) I tried to find help, but could not find anythign useful so far. I installed for many drivers, updates, patches, etc. But none have anything to remove the blue screen of death. Now, after 7 hours, I really frustrated, and this is my last hope! (I don't want to save my hard drive and reinstall, because I paid more than 250 applications and more than 270 free programs on my computer! Of more, more than 350 iPad apps, of which a few are paid! Oh and 700 iBooks!)
    Help, please! I'm really desperate right now, and any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    PS I run Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 (I think) on a Lenovo ThinkPad SL500 (NOT SL500c!)

    PPS Lenovo all computers have this Lenovo Rescue Recovery 4, which is like an operating system of its own. It has a browser that you can install updates and other things. Right now I use Rescue and Recovery. Thanks again in advance and please answer my question! I had this problem for a week and I'm in school tomorrow! Thanks again!

    EDIT: The error message went like this:

    A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • XPS 8300 Motherboard upgrade - what OS problems I have?

    Hello world

    I have a XPS 8300 i7.  I want to change the existing motherboard for Asus P8P67 PRO.  A that someone does something similar and faced problems?  Primarily, problems with a reinstall of Win 7 recovery disks.  Does anyone know that the motherboard Dell is linked to the Win 7 install?

    Thanks in advance

    You must purchase a valid license for Windows 7 retail.  The license that comes with the computer is called OEM, is specific to Dell and is limited to the computer with which it is delivered.  As a general rule, the installation disk will check the BIOS to see if this is a Dell system. If this isn't the case, it will usually stop installation.  I've heard of cases where it will install, but in any case, it will not accept the product key for activation.

    Other things to watch, which are common for this type of project... various and devices on the system Panel do not always have standard connectors, so rewireing a connector is sometimes necessary.  I can't say with certainty for the 8300 in particular.  The alignment of the fixing holes can also affect the ease with which other advice can be used.

  • Remote Desktop connects then stops after a few seconds

    I have two laptops to Windows 7.  We run OpenVPN which I will refer to the VPN server.  The other is the Client and with me on trips.  Open VPN is configured on the Client and the VPN server, and I can connect from inside and outside the network without any problems.  I also have an Open VPN Client with another port configured on a server QNAS.  I can connect without any problems.

    I want to run the OpenVPN server on one VLAN separated to prevent users to see my internal network and only sees another NAS.  I also use the VPN to offer our few users (3) the ability to connect and use my static IP address.

    I have a router TP-Link-ER-6120.  I can configure the three ports to run in 3 separate VLANS.  When I configure the VPN server works on my regular network to exploit the VLAN1 and VLAN2, I can always connect to OpenVPN and all I want to do works (NAS and Internet access with my static IP).  However, when I try to establish a Session to the VPN server computer remote desktop, I get the login and enter my user name and password.  I see the remote desktop window, open and usually see the remote desktop wallpaper and loading the desktop icons.  Then it crashes.  If he does until I can see the desktop, it automatically attempts to reconnect.  If she makes it that far, it stops with a window that says Remote Desktop connection has been disconnected.

    If I come back in the configuration of the router and change the configuration of VLAN for the server VPN is on the same virtual network, I can connect and the remote desktop connection is successful, as long as the customer is located on my network.  If I connect the Client to the VPN server from outside my network in this configuration, the remote desktop will always fail in the same manner described above.  I also have a QNAS on my network with OpenVPN configured and operational.  If I connect the Client computer to the QNAS, I can connect to the VPN server until the VPN server is placed in its own VIRTUAL LAN.

    Thus, work Desktop connections to local computers.

    However, since a remote off-grid remote office connections begin to work, but are stopped when connecting.

    -J' I ping the VPN server during connection attempts and never lose the connection.

    -J' used telnet to Server VPN 3389 port and it connects.

    -J' turned off the firewalls on both sides and went up to remove Symantec on the VPN and BitDefender server on the side side Client to use Windows Firewall on both.  And then disabled Windows Firewall as well and still no joy.

    Is there a setting in Windows I'm missing that allow the desktop connection remote on the LAN, but not enable during login remotely even if I can ping, telnet and usually access the rest of the network?

    Is it maybe a configuration problem on the side of the router?  Installation side route is a very simple graphic interface.  I configured for the VPN service roads and they remain in place (one for the QNAS) and one for the OpenVPN server.  I set up a static route (virtual server) for port 3389 go directly to the IP address of the VPN server, but that did nothing.

    Miss me probably something simple, but it launched my ass for weeks now.

    Any ideas?
