XPS 8700 and Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 OC graphics card

I saw a thread on here stating that the AMD Radeon 7870 was compatible with the XPS 8500, so I guess that the overclockee of this card Sapphire version would work in my XPS 8700.  I inserted the card into my computer and connected the two power connectors 6 pins.  When I rebooted the computer, he made five beeps short and then put under tension (without the Dell splash screen, I think).  Restart again (and hear the same five beeps), I pressed F2 to enter the BIOS, but it wouldn't let me get into the BIOS.  The third time that I restarted, I just let it start and then after about half an hour of use, the computer is frozen on a blue screen (not BSOD). I turned off the unit and do not have reverse.

I chatted with a few guys from Dell, which said that the five beeps meant that it was a problem of compatibility of video card, but he could not say more than that and pushed to me to contact Dell sales to buy a compatible card (no thanks).

Anyone can check that the five beeps are told?  I hate to have to return this card to where I bought it and I'm not sure I can.  I get beeps if there is a driver problem that I'm missing?  Or beeps always mean a hardware problem? I'd get a beep if my diet was too weak?  Other thoughts?  Someone at - it no good they know maps work on the 8700 XPS?

There was many problems reported with some video cards and the XPS compatibility 8300, 8500, and now the 8700.

Make sure that you uninstall the drivers for video cards before you remove them and put in a new card.  Make sure that the power supply is disconnected and you have pressed and held the power button for at least 15 seconds.  You can also try to remove the CMOS battery.  Then install new video card, replace the battery and plug it back the power cord.

In addition, connect the monitor to the integrated graphics card and restart.  Press F12 or F8 to access the Start Menu. Under the Start Menu, there should be a 'Change Boot Mode Setting' setting. This parameter will have the possibility to turn UEFI Secure Boot on or Off, change it to Off.  It is a common problem in Windows 8 that occurs when you try to add another video card due to conflict with Secure Boot and new motherboards UEFI where you post or get the beep codes.

  • 3 monitors on XPS 8700 with AMD Radeon HD 270 R9

    Hello world

    Just a quick question. Can I conduct 3 monitors to a XPS 8700 with the AMD Radeon HD R9 270 card?

    I read somewhere that it supports Eyefinity, and in the marketing of the images I see 3 ports on the video card. an hdmi and a DVI and a VGA. Eyefinity normally uses an active displayport adapter. You don't know everything just not if I'll be able to use all 3 ports to control monitors. Or maybe use 2 ports from the dedicated card and the onboard port.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    I've never tested, but in theory, it should work.

    Its rights to licensed Windows Pro 8.1 with downgrade to Windows 7 Professional. You will need make the recovery using Dell backup media and restore your original disc. Theres no need to change the BIOS settings earlier.

    After that, remove your hard drive and insert your mSATA SSD. Use the Dell backup and recovery USB to reinstall Windows on the mSATA SSD. Once you are satisfied with the installation of Windows on the drive mSATA remove it and insert the HARD drive, use DISKPART OWN while using your DVD of Windows 8.1. Then insert the mSATA SSD, Windows 7 starter and initialize the HARD disk, implemented as a data reader.

  • Why the visiontek radeon 7970 3 GB graphics card does not work with my xps 8300?

    I bought a Radeon 7970 visintek 3 GB graphic card thinking that it works with my xps 8300. It fits everything is plugged in correctly, but when I turn on my computer does not recognize the graphics card? The graphics card is not broken I build it in another computer and it works perfectly. I am very disappointed at this because I thoughtI would save money, do not buy a new computer and just buy the food and the radeon. It turns out that the Radeon does not work. If someone could tell me what the problem is, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you, Jon

    Hi Jongerber,

    A 500W (or more) power with a 150W power connector 8 pin PCI Express and a connector power 75W 6-pin PCI Express is recommended for the graphics card AMD Radeon 7970. Your XPS 8300 has a diet of 460W. This maybe one of the reasons for the question from the video card works on another computer.

    Please see the link below for the requirements for the graphics card of Radeo 7970:

    http://Dell.to/1brhNaJ

    The following video cards are compatible with the Dell XPS 8300.

    Discreet (PCI Express x 16 card) - NVIDIA GTX460, NVIDIA GT420 (M207)
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5670/HD 5770 / HD 5870/HD 5450

    When you click the compatibility Option in the link below, you will see that the XPS 8300 is not listed under supported for the video card Visiontek AMD Radeon 7970 systems.

    Hello

    Have you checked the page Web ATI for Linux drivers?
    Try google a bit in Linux forums.

    PS: I found this site to info Linux on the Toshiba page:

    Here, you can compare a configuration and compatibility options.

    But you must know that Toshiba supports only the Microsoft OS, and there is no guarantee that the various Linux distributions will work properly

  • My ati mobility radeon HD 5000 series graphics card is not detected when I upgraded to windows8

    Hello

    I have a hp pavilion dv6t-3100 entertainment notebook pc.

    recently, I bought windows8 and updated.

    System couldn't mobily detect ati radeon HD 5000 series (microsoft corporation - WDDM v 1.20)

    I'm getting the device as a status

    This device cannot start. (Code 10)

    {Operation failed}
    The requested operation failed.

    in the Device Manager.

    HP did not provide the bearable drivers for windows 8.

    I installed the driver that has been given for windows 7

    Please help me find the drivers

    This model is not designed and qualified for windows 8, there was no windows 8 at the time this PC has been designed. This PC has not seen pilots of dual graphics for windows 8 that is why you may not be able to use discrete graphics card (AMD). your PC is running on Intel Graohic card only.

  • I have a Pavilion dv6 laptop and I want to upgrade the graphics card

    I'm the product: HP Pavilion dv6t - b 6, 00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC

    Product number: QJ912AV #ABA

    Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

    Graphics factory-installed: Radeon HD 6490 m + Intel(r) HD Graphics Family (but I spend the Intel 3000 drivers)

    My graphics were problems since I got my laptop and I didn't realize what a few months after when I did a check on why my graphics running on low FPS. I called customer service and they could not solved the problem, so I started to do the research and updating my drivers for each of them and switching them too. I have finally fixed them and instead to run Minecraft on 22 FPS, I was there at more than 60 FPS.

    Now, this graphics card is good and all, but there are not adapted to the new games (and I've had this laptop 1 year). What don't get me, is why HP installs some old graphics chips in a new laptop. in any case, I want to see what I can put in the new card. I really want to install and Nvidia 650 m, but I don't know because I don't have any information on my motherboard and it is manufactured by HP. Why I want to improve it is because that 1.) This chip sucks and can't play the games of 2005 and more than 2). He cannot run newer games like I'm a player PC of BF3. I get a strong brand of 28 FPS on BF3-ultimate low quality on this game, he reached sometimes 30 but not much. I want this thing to run as good as my game desktop computer that is custom built, so I really want to know what works with this laptop.

    Please help me to know what works so I'll be better satisfied with HP products.

    Read this document. This has been implemented by one of the community experts (erico).

    The answer is usually going to be no upgrade that has been done on the graphics card as this is usually soldered to the motherboard and designed to work with specific chipsets. The fact that this example uses the switchable graphics actually still less likely. I'm sorry.

    PC hardware is changing at a rapid pace, so you get a day probably will be obsolete in a few months if not sooner. I personally ordered a laptop and there was already a new model of the series which has a better processor and graphics card to this topic. Alas, I was outside the return period and could not take advantage of the new model.

    This largely depends on the software used, but cell phones are not usually able to achieve the same performance as a desktop game PC. My laptop performs as well as my office during playback of half-life 2, but there is a big difference when I play Crysis. The experience will depend on how the program is written and how the game engine is optimized. It varies from game to game.

  • HP PAVILION NOTEBOOK N012AX-14: can I update my AMD Radeon 8670 AMD Radeon 8770 m m graphics card

    Hello Forum, Im not good in graphics card. I know in the internet there is a genius people on graphics card. I want to ask Can I improve/replace my current graphics card AMD Radeon HD 8670 m to an AMD Radeon HD 8770 M when I read things on the AMD Radeon HD M 8770, all I get is the 8770M is better suited for laptop 13 inch or more. My laptop is 14 inches as you can see in the name of the product. Does this mean that I can buy the graphics card upgrade and replace The Old One? Also I have not only 1 card graph. I have 2 graphics card which is AMD Radeon 8610 g + AMD Radeon 8670 m Dual Graphics. If I replace the current 8670 m can I Dual Graphics with 8610 g + 8770M? If it doesn't work for Dual Graphics what should I do? My Budget is about 100 + Dollar. I just really want to upgrade for my graphics today to a better because I want to play a H1Z1 called game and other games with graphics way and better performance. Also, do I need to change or get a new CPU, if I want to upgrade the graphics card 8770M? Please give me the best and the BEST answer.

    It does not take a genius. The answer is simply not and the reason is that the video system is part of the motherboard. There is no upgrade slot, where you can just plug something better and different. With a laptop, you're stuck pretty well with what the factory put there.

  • HP Pavilion 500-130DE: HP Pavilion 500-130DE do not see the graphics card in windows and can not change the primary graphics card.

    So I got a new (TG 640) graphics card for my pc. I tested it on another computer the day before. Worked well. I plugged my HP Pavilion 500-130DE and started. I changed my slot onboard DVI cable to the GT 640 and cable says no signal. While the pc was still on I switched the cable back to the integrated graphical location motherboard and got the windows login screen. So I thought that BIOS yet configured when the integrated graphics card (Intel HD 4600). I turned off the pc and booted to BIOS. But I've never seen a such limited BIOS before! Only thing you change is boot order. I saw a tab advanced but could not find the settings that I needed. In the only device manager devices that appears is the HD 4600. So I checked power is 300W should be sufficient for a map of 75W (only need the PCI for power). Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hello

    If the BIOS on your PC version is version 8, and then review the information below.

    A word of warning: the reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC, even if the graphics card works in other PC or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

  • (Redirected) Custom power and light dim Alienware X 51-Graphics card broken?

    Right then I was in the middle of something today when, without warning my whole system stops. But the power light was on, but weakly. I searched through the forums trying everything I found and nothing worked. I then open my case and take out the graphics card I saw somewhere that someone found it as the issue. After extraction of the card, my PC started normally so, is my broken card or is it possible to fix this?

    The pc is also an alienware x 51 r1, and the graphics card is (I believe that, according to serial number on the sticker) a gtx 670. And if you have any suggestions for new maps at the same level with the gtx 670 or higher graphics that fits, I'd love to hear what you recommend.

  • strange monitor beep sound and blank when I installed the graphics card XFX Radeon HD 7870

    OK, so I removed my GTX 555 after that I bought a brand new XFX HD 7870, installed and activated on the pc.
    The monitor was empty and the pc tower was 5 beep sounds, then pause and repeat, over and over again until I turned off. When I replaced the GTX 555, all was well again, so I know this isn't the other components.
