XPS M1710 Fried video card

It started with random BSOD you ask a malfunction of hardware memory different addresses and has progressed to the point where I can see my system to multiple boot with major artifacts, and then the screen turns white.  I can always start on the Diagnostic Partition and covered all of the tests, which proclaims that each tested video memory address is bad.  (All other tests pass.)

My question is: what are the options of repair of the VC?  Is the NVidia GS7900 boarded the M/B or is it a replaceable point?  As the computer is a little more than 2 years, it will be cost effective to fix it, or should I start budgeting for a replacement?

Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated.

  • XPS 8300, upgrade video card

    Hi I have a Dell XPS8300

    It came with the card AMD Radeon HD 6450, but there isn't enough good run the latest games, not even with settings very low... This is why I intend to upgrade that.

    The problem is that I don't know if the map I want to buy is compatible or if I could make it work... I'm really new to this so I need a little help please...

    It's the map: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclock-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-3753-KR/dp/B00IDG3IDO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1401905637&sr=8-4&keywords=nvidia+gtx+780

    Im not in that of a hardcore gamer who wants ultra graphics on all games, I want to just that my PC to run the latest games at least on a medium to high heat (or even low) with decent FPS...

    I believe that my 6 GB DDR3 RAM and Intel core i5-2300 (2.80 Ghz) with this video card should be enough.

    Please let me know (any expert on the subject) if I can use this card without problem so I can just click 'buy' haha. Or if it something else I have to make it work please let me know

    Thanks :)!

    GTX 560 it is no longer on the market so there is no need to buy this card unless you found it used for $100 or less on ebay.  The GTX 750 Ti is a better deal for a new card and I'd get this one.  I've seen where users have for their XPS 8300 GTX 750 it and it works fine.

  • Dell Studio XPS 9100 integrated video card?

    Hi guys, I own a Studio XPS 9100 and I currently have GPU issues.

    I want to use my PC without having to rely on my graphics card. The studio XPS 9100 has an integrated video processing system? If so, how can I connect to that?

    I am aware that the Studio XPS 9100 is not an integrated video connector, and I have to use the connector available on the video card in the expansion slot to connect to my monitor.

    Hi Poorbeggarman,

    The card mother Studio XPS 9100 has a GPU integrated, but it is disabled, and there is no way to enable it. You have no other choice than to replace your video card.

  • Confused about card video card

    I am shopping for a XPS 8500 - and was confused because the specifications of the video card on the Dell site match the specifications for the same card - not brand and model I see elsewhere - the Dell card is better. I tried the Dell chat but only got more confused-, so I thought someone in the forum might be able to give me an idea.

    Example1

    For the NVIDIA GeForce GT 640, Dell claimed that there the discrete GDDR5 memory but everything that I see that it has the amount said online discreet slower DDR3 memory

    Example 2

    AMD Radeon HD 7770 - Dell says that is has 2 GB memory GDDR5 discrete and
    everything I see on the internet says it has only 1 GB

    Has anyone recently bought the 8500 XPS with a video card upgrade? And if so, which of these specifications is your card? I just think of any motive for Dell would offer the best record you could buy some thing idependently for the same make and model. I think it must be a mistake or the dell site.

    You are so right.  You don't find these versions at retail.  The GT 640 DDR5 has much better overall than the DDR3 version specifications (i.e. If Dell does not change the map clock speeds) and there are 2GB versions very few HD 7770.  I do not change the clock speeds would be needed on the GT 640, however.  It really does not use a lot of power at all.  Obviously, $50 is a good buy on the GT 640.  You can get the HD 7770 for as little as $100 for the cost of $150 upgrade is not as good, even if it has 2 GB of memory.

  • iPhone screen 5 - replaced battery, black. Video card fried?

    My husband iPhone 5 was not load so I replaced taxation port, which didn't work so I replaced the battery. It seems to have worked because when it is plugged in, the computer recognizes that it and he did the sound perception-, but the screen was completely black and by pressing the home screen can that Siri, so we thought that maybe the screen has been fried. I wanted to see if it was the screen that was bad, or if it was the mother board and we should just scrap it and get a new phone, so I swapped the screen with my phone. Now my screen does not work! Neither work. My screen is black but my phone still works, and I can't Siri by pressing the home screen. I guess it was because my husbands phone was always powered (but we couldn't tell) and it fried or something. I fry the video card on the motherboard? Is - something that can be fixed and if so, what parts do I need?

    The iphone has no serviceable parts by the user. You have basically destroyed two phones for something which you ought to have apple do.

  • A confirmed upgrades to the video card for XPS 8500?

    I want to upgrade the video card in my XPS 8500 (currently a 7570). I searched around and literally impossible to find a simple confirmation of a card that suit and will work (not to mention that the other a Dell offers, 7770, I think that it is). I would really fall into a 6850 6870 or 7850 (in the order of less for the most favorite). I found lots of info on cards that work with the old 8300, XPS, which uses the same power supply as the 8500 according to me. However, I'm not sure if the limitations of the space are the same in the case of XPS 8500 compared to the 8300.

    Would appreciate any info. Thank you!

    I don't see why not.  I just installed a R9 Sapphire x 280 in my XPS8500, I have an OC of HD7850 Sapphire.   This card is crazy for a long time.

  • XPS 720, video card and sound card upgrades?

    Greetings-

    A friend gave me his old Dell XPS 720, which I updated to Win7-32.  The upgrade went fine--too easy in fact - and now I'm sorting on all other smaller issues.

    I need a recommendation for a new graphics card and a new sound card.  The only thing I use this box is to maintain a website via Adobe CS4 Dreamworks, with the other tools in the suite and surf the net.  No game, no rendering heavy, etc.

    What I want-

    -Decent color - graphics but no fan if possible.  The map in this area is now an INVIDIA GTS of the G-Force-250 - and the fan noise is terrible.  My needs are quite easy - is there a map smaller, quieter that I can put on this case in order to eliminate the a fan (which seems to be the highest fan in the Pack)?

    Sound card - open what it is as long as it fits and works with this box and Win7-32.

    Thanks for your help/advice-

    -Sean

    The integrated SigmaTel 9227 audio system should be good for your use. But any PCI sound card purchased locally would work or you could get an its PCIe x 1 card. Here's what we delivered =
    CT602 PCI Sound Blaster
    F7710 PCI Sound Blaster X - Fi
    WW202 PCI Sound Blaster X - Fi XtremeMusic

    You should check newegg for price and photos for the PCIe x 16 video cards. This link is sorted by lowest price to highest. None of them work so you have at least a 750w power supply. When you have found a video on the site map, I would look for it locally.

  • Update video card for Dell XPS 8300

    I'm looking for suggestions for a video card to replace the original NVIDIA GT420 DDR3 1 GB video card in my XPS 8300 running with Windows 7 64 bit.  The PSU is rated at 460 W (+ 12VA-18 a; + 12VB 16 A; + 12VC 8A; + 5V 25A; + 5V to the 2 0a; 3.3V 17A; and - 12V 0-3).  I would avoid upgrading the power supply if possible.

    The original of the NVIDIA card is a PCI Express x 16 slot.  I don't know if it's PCI Express x 16 or PCI Express 2.0 x 16.  Someone knows for a desktop XPS 8300 bought July 2011.

    Thank you.

    Oldjayhawk

    It is difficult to determine how quiet a card can be if you look on the comments of the people who bought the specific card you want, or you happen to find a professional opinion on this.   I find most of the double slot cards or cards with the biggest fans to shut up, so I don't think you need worry too much noise.   I have a Sapphire HD 6870 and it's very quiet.  I don't know the HD 7750 is fine for your application and games even if it will happen later.  With the game, you kind of match the video card with the monitor you own and resolution capabilities.  If you have a high screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 or more and you want to set this resolution, then you want a better video card.  After rebate, it may be that a difference of $20 between the 7750 HD and HD 7770 so keep that in mind also.

  • What is a simple but effective update to the XPS 8500 video card? (Computer complete Newb)

    What is a simple but effective update to the XPS 8500 video card? (Computer complete Newb)


    Hello Dell Community. I read through the sticky XPS compatibility and some discussions on upgrading video cards. However, I couldn't find something that fits my needs. If you all can help me with this, would be great!

    Characteristics of the computer:

    • Dell Xps 8500
    • Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHZ
    • 16 GB of Ram
    • 64-bit operating system
    • AMD Radeon HD 7570

    Needs:

    • Run newer games of 2014/2015 without lag on medium to high heat (GTA V)
    • Relatively easy to install (remove some screws and paste the video card in and voila!)
    • No need to upgrade the power supply

    Budget is $ 200-250:

    • Obviously the lower the better and if need be, the budget is flexible. Depends on if the gain is important for the payment of the sum.

    Look forward to your answers!

    Thank you

    Richard

    A card that I know works is $200 would be

    EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0 + 2GB GDDR5 128 bit 02 G-P4-2966-KR that it comes with a 2 X 6 pin cable 8 pin Y so the stock power should be good.

    more than 2 GB will not improve the map and it will increase the price.

  • What is the cheapest video card that will work in a Dell Studio XPS 8100?

    Map of 5770 in my Studio XPS 8100 seems to be dying.  The screen keeps have corrupted and I can't do anything until I restart, then it happens after a few minutes.  I have a corsair cx430 power supply installed.

    The only weird thing I've noticed is that when it is started in safe mode the display seems to work perfectly.

    This machine is my server machine, so I only need to make a minimum of working directly on the machine.

    I think I should just replace the video card.  What is the cheapest video card / lowest which will work in my 8100?

    Thank you

  • Video card and power supply upgrade - XPS 8700 (mid-2013)

    Hello

    I was considering upgrading my video card in my 8700 XPS to an AMD R9 270 to an AMD R9 290.

    I was wondering weather the power would be able to take it.

    It's a 460W power supply which I don't think will be able to manage an AMD R9 290 so I was also wondering if he could not do, where can I get a more powerful power supply? I know where to buy a lot, but I don't know if Dell, you have specific feeds of size to fit the case.

    Is it OK to buy a market after we'll tell power 650W from any manufacturer or should I buy a specific for the case.

    Thank you.

    At the very least, get a 750w power supply. This one has been reported to adapt.

  • Update the video card in Battlefield 3 for XPS 410?

    Hey all,.

    I have a question about upgrading the video card in my XPS 410.  I am currently using a nVidia GeForce 9500 GT video card, which has served me well for purposes of casual games.  However, I like to play Battlefield 3, but according to the nVidia website, this video card does not meet the minimum specifications.  So there is another card that I could update?  I am seriously thinking to buy a new PC in the fall, so I don't want to spend too much money on a new map (especially considering that my PC is long in the tooth that is).  In my view, that the XPS 410 has a 375W PSU, which also complicates things.

    Any suggestions?  nVidia or Radeon is fine.

    Thank you!

    Scott

    You would be a mistake.  Many have used the HD 6770 their Dell 375 Watt power supplies.  The HD 6770 would be a card game much better on the HD especially for BF3 6670.   You will use probably not much more than a total of 250 watts for your system in the game and even less if not.   The recommended minimum of card is the 8800 GT and HD 6670 is probably just equal to it.  However, the HD 6770 exceeds it so I think you'll be much happier.  Here's one that I would consider.  He has a $20 rebate.

  • XPS 420, video card update without changing the power supply

    So I recently did some changes on my Dell XPS 420.  The processor is the same that had been originally purchased, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz, but I upgraded the RAM 6 GB and spin as a Windows 10 Insider Preview OS 64-bit on a partition with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on another partition.  I've also added a new 2 to HARD drive, a USB 3.0 PCI Express card and thinking about getting a 500 GB Samsung SSD EVO. Here's my question though, and it is a video card...

    I want to upgrade the video card, but don't know much about them.  I don't want to touch the food, and I want to just install a new video card.  I do not play video games a large part at all, but I stream videos from my PC if it matters that I've seen people suggest GTX Nvidia as well as the Sapphire HD 7770 550Ti, but I've also seen some people said these cards require greater power than my machine so I am confused.  What is a good affordable video card that would be worth upgrading for me?

    I appreciate any info that can be provided, thanks!

    The TI 750 will not harm your diet or your portfolio. The R7 250 is $99 and the 750 TI is $ 139. It is in the middle between the really cheap and good performance.
