• 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.

  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.

• Problems with the new XPS 8700 and upgrades...

  Hello

  I need help!

  I just bought an XPS 8700 a week ago (maybe more).

  It came with: pre installed with Windows 7 Pro, installation / upgrade disc for Windows 8 Pro

  (Pentium 4790 16 GB RAM 4 GB Nvidia GTS 745 VC)

  A few days after I ordered an ssd of m Cruscial 480 GB for her, with a WD 1 TB HARD drive.

  My problem is centered around the M SSD.

  The Crucial SSD of M IS compatible with this system?

  I try to set it up and the system hangs.

  I can't use ready boost, or it will be BSOD.

  I want to load the OS on the SSD m and use the other 2 HDD as data drives.

  My other question is: System running Windows 7, but comes with a Win 8 restore disc?

  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.

• XPS 8700 SSD upgrade

  Hello!

  Just bought a XPS 8700 and would like to Exchange hard-shore out and put in Samsung 840 Pro SSD in. Could use some indications, there isn't an msata on this forum, so it shouldn't be a problem.

  Something special, I do in the bios that select the new drive?

  the OS will install on another drive? If so, just do a backup and re - install the new drive? or do I need to get a new copy of the retail of windows 8 to do this?

  Opening it will not void the warranty that I can upgrade the disk and memory, but if I have problems I send to dell in the State of origin in that I bought right?

  Hi chrisyackulic,

  mSATA reader uses the SSD technology to make the system faster. If you replace the mechanical hard drive normal with hard drive SSD technology TSRI functionality could be cancelled.

  However, to use the SSD on the system please change the SATA mode in BIOS to AHCI TSRI. You will need a reinstall the operating system to install on the system drive. The backup image will not work because the SATA operation mode is different with a previous hard disk.

  You can use the link below to place a request to reinstall the operating system drive.

  http://Dell.to/TmYffg

  If you are not able to make a request to the disk from the link above, then please send me a private message with serial number of the computer, name registered in the purchasing system and email address so that I can check out what we can do. To send a private message, click on my name, and choose Start conversation.

  Replacing the hard drive or memory on the system will not void the warranty.

• Lenovo B590: RAM upgrade is not detected

  Hi all

  Yesterday, I bought a chip of PC3-12800 CL11 204 pins SODIMM RAM Kingston 4 GB of my local store of hardware because I wanted to update my Lenovo B590 memory, which - by default - has 4 GB of DDR3 RAM installed. I have double checked if memory was compatible with my B590 calling Lenovo support and searching the Web (which gives this message, for example). The two sources confirmed the upgrade should not be a problem if I did not exceed the limit of 8GB. However, after that I had plugged the RAM, I found that it was not recognized by my OS (Windows) and my BIOS. They are always saying that I only have the factory installed 4096MB.
  How can I make my system use this RAM upgrade? Please help, you have my gratitude!

  Note: when I determine which RAM to buy, I've checked also which type of memory was already installed in my B590 by the manufacturer. I unscrewed my notebook and found a chip, brand Hynix memory, I assumed it was a single 4GB chip. However, the search results for of his series on the web show it is in fact a DDR3 SDRAM 2 GB chip. I checked my hardware, but could not see any other chip (even though I'm 100% sure that my system has 4 GB of RAM installed by the manufacturer). If this has nothing to do with the above? Thanks again!

  RESOLVED: The RAM chip is not inserted properly in the additional location. All works fine now.

• XPS 8900 RAM upgrade options?

  Hi all

  I just got the Dell xps 8900 (had upgraded to 256 GB SSD, GTX 980 and now to upgrade some DDR4 RAM.)

  I see she has 2 of the MTA8ATF51264AZ-2G1A2 4 GB SDRAM Micron now, my option I can get more for Memory4less 117,60 $2 to make it 16 GB of total RAM?

  However, I see some Crucial memory (32GB) for almost the same price, but do not know if those that are compatible with the xps specification 8900.

  

  Please let me know what RAM upgrade you have or suggestions for me.

  Thank you

  hskb

  Go to the website of Crucial and which is compatible with your model. Essential is a good place for the memory of a dell computer. Corresponding exactly what you already have is always a good choice but if you buy from Crucial ram, get it directly from Crucial instead of a 3rd party vendor. It's too risky. Essential guarantees that their ram working or you can return it.

• XPS 8700 GPU upgrade

  My PC is the 8700 XPS, described in my GIS unit. Non-SE.

  Double boots both Windows 7 Pro and 8, secure boot disabled.

  Current GPU is the AMD Radeon 7570 (OEM) that comes with it. I see this same pattern can also run the NVIDIA Geforce GTX 645 (OEM). It's basically a quick replacement? Obviously, the PSU is OK, as the POWER 460 block is the same in all models.

  Will be one of the 6 pins that is not in use, it will take if yes, is it important that we? I noticed that they are numbered differently, probably just to label a connection. I found them hidden behind the other sons.

  Finally, if everything is compatible, should I use the current Dell supplied drivers for the stability of the system (all the installed drivers are provided Dell), or I let NVIDIA auto detect & install?

  This has been a great PC for me, the XPS 8700 packs a lot of power in a mid-size Tower. Just, I want better video & don't want to deal with swaps of power supply, which could void my warranty.

  Thank you very much for any help given.

  Unfortunately, you will need to move to a GTX 660 to get a display port.  I'd go with the HD 7770 HERE that is actually better than the GTX 650 for about the same cost.

• Dell XPS 8700 GPU Upgrade

  Hello.

  I recently got the XPS8700 with Intel Core i7 3.4 GHz, 24 GB Ram, GeForce GT GPU 635.

  The PC works fine, however, I really want to upgrade graphics card, to get the best experience.

  I was looking at the GPU was the Radeon R9290.

  I realized that my diet was not strong enough to provide this GPU.

  -The power supply I wanted to get was a series of Builder CX750W link or http://www.corsair.com/en/power-supply-units/cx-series-psu/cx750-80-plus-bronze-certified-power-supply.html-

  -The link of the GPU or http://rog.asus.com/269042013/graphics-cards-2/the-asus-r9-290-graphics-card/

  My questions are, PSU, I want to get compatible with the GPU, is my PC big enough to keep the GPU is compatible with my motherboard GPU.

  Thank you.

  To answer your question, yes the 290 r9 will start.  Its a fit tight, but it will fit in there which is great.  How can I know what... Well I have one on my 8700 :) and I would not recommend anything less the 750 watt for a power supply when executing this GPU.

• Zoom of Safari do not using full window

  Is anyone else seeing this... in the last 2-3 days that some sites (but not all) behave as expected or desired in Safari when I "zoom". Previous behavior (what I want) is for the entire page in the window of the browser to expand I have to zoom (and vice versa when I Zoom out).

  Instead, the page seems to be divided into images and content within each vertical frame performs a zoom, but not the width of the frame itself. The result is that the zoom will not use all of the available window width.

  Image #1 is the default zoom HuffPost.

  

  Image #2 is after I zoomed in a few levels.

  

  Notice how the text in the 'frame' (with white background) Center got a lot bigger, but it doesn't have the framework. Zoom does not use the full width available to the window as she always did before. Note that the links-spills bar now off the frame to the right. Clearly a problem of rendering here.

  Software conflict maybe?

  MacOS 10.11.13

  Safari 9.0.3

  MacBook Pro with the retina

  Oops.   I found my problem.

  There is a new item on the menu display of Safari... at least, I have never noticed before... called 'zoom text only '.  Somehow, which was fixed. Disabling this feature allowed to zoom to behave as you wish.

  I'll leave this message upward in the other case travels through it also.

• XPS 8700 + Radeon 5770 does not

  Just got a XPS 8700 and decided to put my gcard of my old system in because it is more powerful.  Radeon 5770, when I put it in I get nothing.  The monitor does not display anything.  I put back it in my old system, and everything works fine.  Is the 8700 XPS somehow simply not compatible with the card Radeon 5770?

  Any suggestions on a map of decent price I want to consider?  If the XPS 8700 for some reason any cannot support any powerful graphics card I can just return.  Very strange that the card doesn't seem to work.

• Query not using Full Scan Index

  Hello world

  I'm on 11.2.0.3.0 AIX 6.1.

  There is a query such as:

  Select: sys_b_0 | Count (distinct (column_name)) table;

  that goes for the analysis full table. The column was values separate only 104 with not NULL values. To save memory buffer gets, I created an index on the table with the column used in the query (i.e. whose distinct values are recovered).

  The problem is that even after the creation of indexes and force the flag index that it does not use the full scan of the index. The provided indication is correct in syntax and was the only clue in the query, so there is no question of conflicts with others.

  Can anyone suggest me what I might be missing?

  Thank you

  It seems to me that if print_branch_code is defined as nullable in the table. If this is the case, the optimizer goes for a sweep of index, even if there is no real NULL values

  Now, my understanding is that when the replacement of the most important identifier is the part number HMT351U6CFR8C-PB. Just do a search on this part number and you should be able to find the exact match of RAM, right?

  But what is not clear to me, is how do you find a REPLACEMENT RAM? Can I run DDR4? If I can run 1600 MHz or faster in this motherboard? What is the schedule?  Clock? This is where I get confused.

  In addition, I will not notice even a speed increase?
