XPS 8700 suddenly slow restart and check

My 8700 previously fast Dell with 12 GB of ram has suddenly slowed to a crawl when restarting or commissioning. The problem occurs before any hard drive activity starts.  So, when I reboot, and after that the shutdown procedure occurs, the screen goes into mode "Eve" (orange), white light button / stop of the Tower remains on. The computer is then silent for about five minutes before the screen comes alive, turns on the led drive activity, and the start-up procedure occurs.  From this point, start-up is fast.

If I turn off completely, when I boot, the power light turns white, the display shows a Dell logo in a circle.  There is no Caterpillar goes in a circle of about five minutes. There is no disk activity.  Suddenly, after having sat there, the Caterpillar appears and the computer starts up quickly from that moment.  Basically, the Dell logo without Caterpillar takes several minutes when it is used to take a few seconds.  If I hit F12, it won't beep until after five minutes is complete.  So, the problem is very early in the boot process, I guess.

I shut down the computer, pulled out the plug.  Removed all USB cords.  Holding the switch down for thirty seconds, then re-inserted all the cords and propelled upwards. That does not solve the problem.

I have the BIOS A03 delivered installed on this machine that was purchased almost exactly a month ago. I have not tried to update the BIOS for fear that I might make things worse because the computer was fast a week or two ago.

Online diagnostics refuses to start. Have not knowingly changed anything in the BIOS settings. Did not run diagnostics from the F12, but will.  Cannot see how to activate the detailed MESSAGE.

See my similar thread with a couple of possible solutions (doesn't sound like your question but maybe there's some common ground there):

  • Server Terminal Server 2000 running, Memory Dump, restarting and checking bug error 0x0000007f

    I've been to dump memory and blue screen on a Windows Server 2000 Terminal Server running.

    I had to change the server for a complete memory dump to just check bug 64 MB because memory dumps were fill the C drive and it is the same mistake each time it fails.

    It is a production server and is vital to my business.

    I don't want to just install the 5 or 6 different patches from Microsoft that references the same exact error code, error message stop and symptoms for Server 2000.

    I just replace the memory new inside with two sticks and I even changed the boxes it was with one that has no hardware problem as I have a few of them.

    So he this 2000 Server had the motherboard, processor, memory, network, Audio card, changed video cards and I always get this accident a few times a day.

    I can't find anything definitive on this so if anyone has had the same problems and found a solution, then I'd be very happy to help.

    I am doing a complete network upgrade in the next month or two.

    My work is located in the middle of the busy season and I cannot take the server down and impossible to install anything that could cause a hard accident and not to start again.

    I'm in the middle of an upgrade of the network and we'll go virtual with this server with as many others as I can.

    I need to this Terminal Server to stop crashing and to find a solution for it, while the summer crowd is full swing at my work and it will improve after this summer.

    Any help would be awesome.

  • New Dell XPS 8700 overheating and shutdown itself

    I bought my new XPS 8700 4 days there and that's the first problem, my pc is overheating and I don't know why, I have it on my desk so no dust can damage as it have enough space around fans.

    The problem is that the pc is overheating even when I do nothing, its just to put on a few sites and after some while pc crashes: the screen goes all black. The last time it happened I had the only song on YouTube and I was typing on Facebook, when suddenly the screen goes black and pc closed down, ive checked CPUID HWMonitor where I discovered that my graphics card is approximately 70-85 ° C.

    Second crash is almost the same as the first, but with this difference that the pc remains powered on and just monitor the message "entering power saving mode" and can not be awake so I have to hold the start for 10 sec button to restart my PC. Im a little scared because I am sure that it will not be caused by any software just because the computer is 4 days old and I has not yet opened the case (im not sure if I can just because of the warranty)... What should I do? It is necessary to call Dell technical support or I can solve it it somehow better?

    My PC specs:

    Intel Core i7 4770 Haswell, 16 GB RAM, AMD Radeon R9 270 2 GB, SSD 32 GB + drive HARD 2000 GB 7.2 k, 8.1 Windows Pro 64 - bit

    Sorry to hear that!

    If it is only a few days old, contact Dell Tech Support as soon as POSSIBLE. In the United States, you have 21 days from the date of billing (no delivery date) to request a replacement. Then contact them immediately if you want to have it replaced. Otherwise, arrange for Dell fix this one, if all goes well in your premises...

    BTW: Open the case do not void the warranty.  But if you replace all of the equipment installed at the factory, Dell may ask you to reinstall the original parts, before they honor the warranty.

    I hope that get you it fixed quickly!

  • DELL XPS 8700 compatible with the monitor Samsung Syncmaster 2232 office

    HI - can anyone confirm that the DELL XPS 8700 desktop computer is compatible with the monitor Samsung Syncmaster 2232.

    Already, I have the monitor, but need a new processor unit.

    Thank you...

    Hi yydelilah,

    The monitor has VGA and DVI ports.

  • Dell XPS 8700 - failure of the keyboard when the bios boot (but not when Windows is loaded)

    My Dell XPS 8700 has 10 Windows and a Logitech Keyboard wireless, connected by USB. The keyboard works absolutely fine when Windows has loaded. I have the latest version of the bios, A11.

    However, when the computer is turned on and starts the bios start, it displays 'Keyboard Failure' on the screen for about half a second. When I try to go into the bios setup by pressing "F2" at the counter (I keep typing "F2" from the moment when I press the power button on the computer), there is no answer. The "keyboard failure" and inability to enter the bios setup seems to happen if I do a cold immediately after a stop start, a cold start after the computer is turned off for an extended period or a reboot.

    I tried to connect the wired keyboard original Dell one of the USB ports on the front of the unit (without disconnecting the wireless keyboard) with the same problem at the start of the bios.

    I encountered this problem on versions of bios A11 both A03. I know that in the past, although I don't remember when - I was able to enter the bios setup by pressing "F2".

    Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

    You can try and reset the CMOS. It will return your settings to factory settings, but not the version. Usually, this erases these problems because CMOS stores data editable such as your wireless keyboard settings. BIOS stores the information about the basic material that is unchangable as your keyboard usb, mouse and other essential equipment. If you notice, when you just plugin any keyboard and mouse, its recognized at startup. Your needs software to run wireless device and that is stored in the CMOS.

    So once reset you the CMOS, you may need to then install the wireless software.

    Good luck.

  • XPS 8700 Bluetooth does not

    I have a XPS 8700 bought in October and running Windows 7.  I have problems bluetooth works properly.  I downloaded and installed the latest driver, but when you look at Dell 1703 Bluetooth Wireless in the Device Manager, it has an error under device status of "this device cannot start. (Code 10) "I tried a few times to uninstall the driver, reboot, reinstall nothing doesn't.

    Any idea what I can do to get this working?

    Thank you

    Craig

    Craig, you have to have, like me, received among the some 280 8700 XPS who left the factory without having drivers Bluetooth wireless Dell 1703 published... so your BT will not BT 4.0 update and so does not work. Go to Dell Support live chat and let guys try to solve your problem remotely, which they will not be able to do. When they did their thing, tell them you want a technician on-site, assuming you are still under warranty, to come to your home and install a half Mini Card Intell 6235 WLAN BT in the former location of 1703... install the two updates of 6235 Dell driver support and you will have a flawless Bluetooth program. No guarantee? Get a card for $25-30 6235 and install it your self takes about 20 minutes.

  • 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.

  • Failures of start-up and recovery Dell XPS 8700

    The system is 2 years old.  No recovery image was never created.

    Here are the original symptoms.

    1. cannot start Windows 8.1 on Dell XPS 8700.
    2 OS refresh fails.
    3. OS restore points fail.
    4. OS auto repair fails.
    5 restart the failure of Options (Safe Mode, start Debug mode).
    6. command prompt fails (cannot find all administrator accounts).

    Done so far:

    Created a bootable flash drive. After changing the BIOS setting to boot using the USB key, first of all, the PC started successfully. Then, I was able to access the command prompt and save the user data files.

    Then, I went back into the BIOS and changed the boot order to the internal HARD drive. I rebooted and finally started a reset from the PC (factory restore). After the reset process has reached 4%, I got a reset failure message. A subsequent reboot then gave me an error message file BCD 0xc000000d "the BCD file is missing information". The next restart gave, I can best recall, 'no partition not found on the internal hard drives And I could see no longer the menu of UEFI, just the BIOS (A06) firmware. After change the order of boot and boot to the flash drive, I could see that a lot of files apparently had been marked for deletion on the C: drive as user profiles did not appear. At one point, the flash player had become the C: drive and HARD drive is X:. But which cleared up later. After getting the quick C: folder to the HARD drive, I published the following commands Bootrec /fixmbr and /fixboot, Bootrec scanos Bootrec rebuildbcd Bootrec. After trying to start once more on the internal HARD disk, I had another variant of the BCD file error, 0xc00000098 "the BCD file contains no valid information for the operating system".

    Any chance of recovery in this situation?  Otherwise, I guess we will have to get a replacement drive (that is, SSD) and a copy of Windows 10.   Thank you.

    Hi 2Tallinva,

    Yes, that sounds like a hard disk failure. You can try this site to download a disc Windows 8.1. Of course, a free update to win 10 is better than paying for an OS you already entitled to.

  • 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

    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.
