• 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!

• 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.

• Dell XPS 8700 replace / add mSATA SSD

  I have a new Dell xps 8700 and I put in an mSata 500 GB SSD, planned on getting 2 TB hard drive and simply run the pc of the ssd. My problem is the operating system. I have the recovery disk and the disk from Dell drivers. the pc came with Windows 8.1, I upgraded to 8.1 Pro with Media Player. I don't think that the Dell disk will do a clean install of OS 8.1, and I'm not sure to recover the operating system and disk set, since I upgraded to 8.1 PRO. I don't really have a problem with just the Windows 8.1, and then do the upgrade again. I think maybe even the simplest would be to try Windows 10 on it, I ran beta Windows on other computers. My Question is that I have upgraded to Windows Pro 8.1, I'll be able to get the full version if I try to recover / and with the correct product key. or do I use the recovery disk, and then try to make the OS drive / and collect the key?

  If you create recovery discs using Dell software, it will install windows 8.1 as if you bought the computer fresh from the factory with all the software that Dell gave you etc.  You then upgrade to windows 8.1 pro via the same method as you have done before, however if they gave you a product key, you should be able to just pop that in and make the upgrade.  You could make an image of your HARD drive, then run everything on the SSD by cloning the drive for the SSD.

• This block of power SUPPLY Corsair will work in desktop XPS 8700?

  Hello friends,

  I really really wanted to buy the 8700 XPS because the tower is much better and lighter then the Alienware Aurora. But I wanted to know if this PSU Corsair AX760w will be perfectly compatible with the Dell XPS 8700? I wanted to update the 8700 460w POWER supply because I want to update the graphics card for a black titan Nvidia requiring 600w.

  THX

  There isn't one, perhaps that's a Yes. It is perfectly well... a little on the tight side but he did it with a bit of room to spare. I know what I'm talking about. I installed the AX760 in February in my xps8700se and it has worked perfectly since.

  Don't hesitate because this diet is one of the better ones.

• Please help trouble Code 43 error graphics card for XPS 8700 (as well as the disappearance of sleep/Standby Mode) (Windows 10)

  I got my XPS in 2014 and my warranty of service completed in 2015 Jan before I installed Windows 10. So since I've upgraded to Windows 10 I started having problems with by XPS 8700. Now, I have no guarantee. I thought he would go better once they have released an update of the BIOS and it did for a while unfortunately in recent months, I noticed two major issues.

  (1) upon the starting and restarting my computer, my monitor does not end up receiving the signal from the computer and remains dark.

  -Checking that it is not a problem with the monitor by testing with other computers

  -J' checked in the Device Manager and there was a next yellow alert for graphic cards / NVIDIA GeForce GT 635

  -By clicking on, he showed me this: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

  Unfortunately, it is not the only problem with the graphics card.

  (2) "sleep" my mode is gone (it is related to graphics and BIOS).

  -J' tried the go in power to add setting but it was not yet listed.

  -I went to the command prompt and looked powercfg.exe that's what I discovered:

  C:\Windows\System32>Powercfg - a

  The following sleep States are available on this system:

  Hibernate

  Quick start

  The following sleep States are not available on this system:

  The system firmware does not support this standby state.

  An internal system component has disabled this standby state.

  Eve (S0 low idle power)

  The system firmware does not support this standby state.

  Hybrid sleep

  Standby (S3) mode is not available.

  Now I really wish I could start or restart my pc without staring at a blank screen and the problem of code 43 with Nvidia GeForce GT 635. Also, I would if I could have the option to upgrade my PC to sleep. I really miss it and do not have to constantly reboot my computer to be able to see anything on the monitor.
  

  I hope someone can help me with these questions without having to reset the pc and reinstall, all over again, that the problem still exists in other cases (I don't have a copy of the installation of programs pre-installed dells so...). This computer is only 2 years old, it didn't need to be retired.

  NVIDIA GeForce GT 635 (PCI\VEN_10DE & DEV_1280) the card is physically wrong and needs to be replaced.

• 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:
  http://downloads.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_xps_desktop/XPS-8700_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.PDF

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

• 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 - Recommended 500W PSU +? (for GTX 970)

  Hi I have a dell xps 8700 currently equipped with a GTX 745, I want to upgrade to a GTX 970.

  I know that this has been a big problem in the past, but I just want to check a few things: is - it works even in the first place? Replace the power supply and update the BIOS to a10? I'm hoping to get a definitive right or close enough answer to the question of whether it works or not, especially since he was a few months after the last major discussion forums.

  And the main question, which is a recommended PSU is going well replace my current 460W one?

  CORSAIR CS750M works in every Dell I have ever installed in it.

  No power problem.  You may need to remove the optical drive so that you can get the old and the new, because it's a very tight fit.

  Once in the optical drive can back up.

  550W is too small.  Generic 550W power supply is ACE is NOT GOOD as the Dell 305 w PSU.

  The EPS12V 2.92 specification guarantees 170w combined on the 5V / 3.3V rails and 20W on the 5VSB and 45 amps on a single 12V rail.

  Note on the label for the Dell they provide 20W on the 5VSB.

  That's why I recommend an EPS12v Corsair CS750M

  

  You need a certified Power Supply EPS12V 2.92

  Supply Dell 20-25W + 5VSB and most of the cheapo units have 10W or less.   Dell Supply guaranteed 130 to 180W on 3.3v / 5v rail and other are not.

  Minimum recommended unit is CORSAIR CS750M.

• Adding a DVD - RW drive for a XPS 8700.

  I just bought an XPS 8700 provided with Windows 7 (my choice) and one disc of 12 x DVD - RW. This machine replaces a decade old Dimension 8400.  I want to add a second DVD disc to avoid the shuffle of disk by making copies.

  The last time I did was when they were still using old PATA drives where the drive data cable was the old ribbon cable and you used a splitter to the power cable.

  I have never installed a SATA drive so I have a few questions.  When I order my second drive, what wires I need to complete the installation - or is all the wiring already in the computer?

  One last question is the format used in the 8700 XPS and how to remove the coup de grace in the drive Bay?

  Thanks for any advice - Tom

  TomHF

  You need to buy a DVD/RW SATA drive 5.25 "similar on the drive shown here:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16827106289

  A data SATA 18 "cable is necessary, there should be a spare cable/power connector SATA inside of the case for a second optical drive.

  One end of the SATA data cable is connected to the optical drive and the other to a SATA connector located on the motherboard [page 13].

  Two 6-32 X 1/4 screws are necessary to install the drive in the Bay.

  The installation procedures of the player can be found here:

  Greetings to "how to remove the coup de grace in the Bay.

  You can use the same instructions as given for the hard disk, on page 42.

• 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.

• XPS 8700 2nd hard drive Bay access

  I want to install an SSD in my Dell XPS 8700 system. Once I opened the side panel, I noticed there was a Bay that said second hard drive. Exactly how you can access this Bay? You cannot mount the drive, sliding to the rear, because the power supply works in the way. Then of course, she must cross the front. You physically remove the front panel of the computer? I hate doing this, because something always breaks i.e. clips, some son gets snatch etc. I guess I could remove the power temporarily.

  Thank you

  Please refer to page no. 40 in the link below to remove and replace the secondary hard drive on Dell XPS 8700.

• S2340T and XPS 8700

  I installed as follows.  Connected the USB cable from the monitor (S2340T) to PC (XPS 8700).  Connected PC HDMI cable for monitor.  Power cord plugged in.  The monitor is turned on.  PC turned on.   Windows 8 is displayed correctly on the screen.  But the mouse and keyboard slow.  Too easy touch.  Often, I have to repeat same thing several times.  plays background music - same short sounds.

  If I unplug the USB cable, keyboard & mouse then behaves normally, and the music stops playing.  It proves that if HDMI and USB is plugged at the same time, there is a mismatch.  But then touch screen does not like he needs the USB connection.  No software not loaded for the monitor.

  What is the problem

  wonderdoc

  Support me have visited on the site.  Replaced the motherboard & all USB 3.0 ports.  And... system works normally.  In fact, it proves that DELL has never tested my system before leaving the factory.

  Finally I'm happy again and really enjoy this combination

• 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!
