• DELL XPS 8700 Motherboard power LED

  Hello

  I recently bought a DELL XPS 8700 desktop computer.

  Recently, I noticed that there is this orange light shining inside even when I shut down my PC.

  I opened it and realized that it's this LED power on the motherboard.

  Maybe I've just not noticed it before, but is - it normal that the power light is on constantly?

  Thank you!

  Quite normal. That LED means that the motherboard is powered "flea" power supply as long as the power supply is plugged into an outlet active.

  If you unplug the PC of the plug and press / hold down the power button for about 15 seconds, the LED on the motherboard turns off.

  Find something else to worry about.

• CPU COOLER DELL XPS 8700

  What are the coolers possible cpu that you can install on the card mother dell xps 8700 motherboard without any editing fancy ghetto. As if it were a normal MOM?

  The XPS 8500, the forerunner of the XPS 8700, has standard spacing Socket 1155. Taken 1150 share spacing of the 1155, and so according to me that a spare cooler should run.

  Cooler Master Vortex was perfect on my XPS 8500 motherboard, and I assume that the same would hold true for a XPS 8700. You will use the type of optical drive screws to fix the cooler for the Board of directors rather than fragile plastic bugs.

  Looking at a motherboard XPS 8700 on eBay, I can see a standard header for the fan on the CPU at four pins, as well as the XPS 8500.

• 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.

• Dell XPS 8700 no power

  Have a Dell XPS 8700 I bought in October 2013.  The other day while my daughter was doing her homework the Tower just closed.  Will not supply this time.  The green light on the back of the power supply does not light.  The led "Power to the" yellow inside the East.

  When I press the button reset, next to green light, at the back of the power supply, the light turns on fans in the case operate one puts the optical drive.  So, it is the power supply or the card mother kaput?  Or is there some waay to put things?  Tried the thing "press and hold the power button / stop for 25 sec ' without success, and also left it unplugged overnight.

  Remove the battery on the motherboard CMOS. Leave, try it for a few seconds then put back in. Try to start the computer after. The green light on the power supply goes off while the computer is not turned on. As the light does not illuminate and things go when you press the test button, your diet should be fine. It could be your motherboard, before we know try resetting the CMOS battery, as I mentioned above. I hope this helps!

• XPS 8700 Windows 7 64 card reader disappears!

  Often ill put a SD or CF card into the internal card reader and it disappears from my computer and Device Manager.  No just went wrong! The only way to recover is system sleep and power cord to "unplug". Works for 2 or 3 times and the same thing happens. Dell tried a few software and settings of bugs but that did not work. Then the sent me a new media card reader but same thing happens. Now, they want to replace motherboard and power supply, but I doubt that a is too. Any help or ideas would be great.

  Yes, a very common problem with my XPS 8700. Has been through a lot of readers of cards, motherboards, etc.

  (1) make sure you eject the card reader in the computer drives; the old 'My Computer'. Yes, of course, it's elementary, but several times I just grabbed the first card reader. It applies to remove it from your camera. Don't forget that the camera is turned off before removing.

  2) the "fix"

  It can be irritating, but it you have to remove the side panel and pull the wire connecting the card reader to the motherboard to the wide where it attaches to the motherboard. Then just reconnect and the card reader drives will reappear.

  Technically you should do with the machine power off and unplugged power cord, but I use one of these long slender beak pliers to reach in and get a firm grip on the connector. Just a quick pull and a quick replacement. I would look at the readers to return what they have always done for me. I don't know if it is successful with the machine off. You must be very spastic to not be able to disconnect and reconnect the small connector without touching anything else. A light is useful depending on the ambient light.

  Personally, my CPU is just off the right side of my office, so I always leave the left in Panel enough air flow, but it is certainly easy enough to remove.

  It is difficult to say how long it will last. Finally, it will fail again may 20 all-purpose or more, but I keep the needle forceps nearby. A 2 minute job.

  Good luck!

• XPS 8700 Black Screen at startup

  It started with some intermittent problems with USB 3.0 connections that would disconnect/re-connect randomly while you are trying to transfer large backups (front and rear taken showing the same questions).
  Called Dell and they have decided that it was a hardware problem which could be solved by replacing the motherboard. After two changes of motherboard (the first being DOA!) I am now left with a PC that has a delay of one minute (with a black screen), startup stops correctly, but also do not restart as it crashes during the stop in this case.
  Have you tried many tests to diagnose the problem, including the withdrawal of the graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti) and reinstalling different drivers (WiFi, Bluetooth, NETWORK card) but no change to the start or restart customer.
  I also removed my 1 TB mSATA (on which I have 8.1 Windows installation) and the 2 TB HDD Dell and inserted a clean formatted HDD. I then plugged the Dell Windows 8.1 recovery USB drive and rebooted. Exactly the same behavior: white light, the light turns off, a black screen for about a minute, then white light comes back on and the computer starts normally - in this case, the recovery on the USB stick software.
  Dell have now agreed to replace the PC with a new one (as it is only a few months old), but I'd be interested if anyone has a vision of what could be the cause of these problems. My guess is that it's another faulty motherboard.

  Sorry, that did not help...

  You are not alone with this problem, and there seems to be a Windows problem based on what I read. Others have solved the problem on the XPS 8700 by installing a USB3 PCI-e card in the PCI-e x 1 slot...

• An ATX PSU will fit in a XPS 8700

  My OEM power is strong and I want to buy a new power supply. A standard ATX PSU will fit in a XPS 8700? Here are the models that I see, but I'm also open to the suggestion. I'm more interested in noise reduction, I don't do any game so I have no power requirements other than to support the stock with a GTX645 Office.

  More generic standard ATX power supply can be installed with a power of 20 + 4 pin main motherboard, or 24 pins as the 8700 XPS has a rear panel open, with or without the on/off switch.

  Note: A power supply with 5 SATA connectors, is necessary.

  It was reported that it is better to buy a PSU with a depth of approximately 5.9 ".

  The SeaSonic S12G S12G-550 550W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified ActivePFC PSU looks like it should be good.

• XPS 8700 - incompatibility eSATA card

  Hello

  I have read elsewhere on the incompatibility between a Dell XPS 8500 and a PCIe 1 X eSATA card that the user had installed.  The user declares that the card was not recognized by Device Manager and thus went inoperative.  I don't remember the problem is resolved.

  Of course, I didn't read about this problem when I too lived the same problem on my XPS 8700.  I installed a new card eSATA PCIe 1 x slot and Bingo! -absolutely nothing.

  I don't think that the PF to this problem are relevant because the XPS specification is concerned there is no card on board.  Updated XPS to update its BIOS bit after I ordered new computer (about 2 weeks).

  Does anyone have any ideas or solutions to try?

  Is that what someone else has similar problems and, if so, Dell "on the case"?

  Best regards

  Mike

  There are 2 questions and none of them are associated with Dell.

  Safe Boot must be off CSM and legacy with Roma option on.

  The card must be PCI-E version 2.1 or 3.0 to work. The power supply of the bus and clock speed are not compatible to 1.0 or 2.0.

  OLDER PCI - E 1.0 and 2.0 cards will be "seen" because the PCI-E bus will not downclock to version

  1.0 on the X 1 slot.

• Add map its SoundBlaster to XPS-8700

  I have a desktop XPS-8700. I added a second DVD burner and a second hard drive in the box. I wonder if there is enough power to quietly add a sound card. I'm sure there is an available slot. I have not to add anything like that, but the two discs I mentioned. Neither made any other changes.

  Assuming that it's OK to add the sound card, do you know if you need to install the software first or the hardware. I'll probably have to download new drivers since I'm now on Windows 10.

  Thank you.

  X 1 most of its cards use 10W max so this isn't a problem.

  The soundcard as an option for the 8700 is a 3D SB1350 Recon.

• GeForce GTX 970/980 on XPS 8700

  Hello, I have XPS 8700, which came with OEM GTX 745. I think it passes to the Geforce GTX 970 or 980. These word on 8700 XPS video cards?

  I am particularly concerned, because system recommended for 970 power is 500 W to nVidia's specifications, total power of XPS8700 is 460 w. Has anyone installed GTX 970 or 980 on 8700 XPS?

  Hey Ryocchin,

  The GTX970 or the GTX980 will work in terms of being able to connect through PCI-express port.  Where you might encounter a problem is with the physical size of the map.  I know that some 970 models can be 12 inches, I guess the 980 years can grow according to the solutions of cooling for these exotic cards.

  The other piece of the puzzle is to replace the power supply.  A 460W pourrait be authorized as a basis of suppliers GPU their system requirements on the assumptions made about the power draw of the entire system & always shoot a bit on the high side.  But if your computer is a few years old is probably not turn off 460 watts.  So I recommend a new power supply.  EVGA, Corsair, XFXm and Antec have all been good for me over the years.  If you want to simulate a modular PSU that you'll save tangles of cables.

  So those are the two big things to look for: physical space for the graphics card (although I'm sure that a XPS8700 will hold a 970 without problem a lot) and a new power supply.

  The Dell service manual is here if you want to get an idea of what it looks like to replace components:

  I hope this helps!  Let us know what other questions you might have.

• Dell XPS 8700 - technician Dell beat the Audio drivers

  Was originally a XPS 8300, he had problems and replaced by a 8700 XPS Dell.

  Other than having to blow on the operating system and install 8.1 on the SSD instead of the mechanical drive, I thought everything was working correctly.

  Come to know that I have static detach audio from the motherboard. Troubleshoot-performed on mine... two different monitors with speakers and a 55 '' HDTV LG. Static on each of them with two different auxiliary cables. Then connected to the monitor and LG TV via HDMI to my video card and voila... a crystal clear sound. Not static.

  Dell has decided to try to solve my problems of its motherboard remotely by phone and basically broke my Audio drivers. She has uninstalled the driver and tried to reinstall and now he repeats down in big red letters.

  When I click in Device Manager there is not an explanation mark... it's just appearing as a generic «High Definition audio» description Before that he was showing the Realtek Audio driver as it should.

  Dell sent a replacement motherboard and the technician just installed it at home but they cannot always get the driver to install properly and she wants me to blow my BONES together. Ugh!

  Everyone knows these before driver with integrated sound hardware XPS 8700 problems and if so, how should I do?

  I would avoid blowing my PC if I can, I just went through the pain of a data migration and install OS and program news.

  * Uninstall the generic "High Definition Audio" device in Device Manager
  * Go here and do the automatic update of Intel
  * Reset
  * Realtek the only update from the same page
  * Reset

• Watch the video on my TV via HDMI to a XPS 8700

  I replaced my XPS 8100 with a XPS 8700 last week and before buying I double checked with Dell that I could indeed watch tv since the 8700 XPS HDMI as the graphics card in the 8100 would not allow this and based on the answer as I could without any problems, I went ahead. Having just put all of this and the fact that my TV recognizes that an HDMI cable is connected there is no signal because no 2nd screen/monitor will appear in the display as the 8100 settings!

  Not happy at all, but if anyone can help I would appreciate these modern machines should be able to do this now, unless I have missed soemthing!

  your XPS 8700 has 2 HDMI ports, one on the motherboard and the other on the graphics card... you want to make sure you are connected to your graphics card.

  

• DELL XPS 8700 - adding a new hard drive

  Small question:

  Is it possible for me to add another internal hard drive of my computer XPS 8700? If so, other than the new HDD, is there other additional parts that I need to buy?

  Thank you.

  You should be able to, you may need to buy an additional SATA III (6.0 GB/s) cable to connect the drive (if the drive you buy is not equipped with a cable. Also, until you buy make sure that you have a SATA port on your motherboard.
