XPS One 2710 flickering of the screen

My XPS One 2710 has worked great for over a year. This week, it began to falter on exactly half of the screen on the right side. The Twinkle is quite violent and makes this unusable side. I have updated all drivers and made diagnoses who have shown no failures. My BIOS is A09. I think that it is suitable for a machine running Windows 7. Any ideas?

Thanks for posting.  A friend asked me to take a look at its XPS 2710, and it was indeed the problem.  The symptoms were exactly as described in the previous posts.  I took off the lid in plastic and metal and blew out an industrial fan at the rear of the machine to test.  The machine is stable for two hours, which was much longer while it lasted usually.  Satisfied with my tests, I got creative with my Dremel:

Using a model of fan 140mm, a spare R2 from fractal, a 140mm fan Grill and fan 3 pin USB converter I cut a hole in the lid plastic and mounted equipment (the Converter 3 pin is necessary because playing with the CPU and GPU fan headers will cause the BIOS to start a fan speed error).  Then I reassembled the entire thing without the metal under protection.  Three hours of DURATION and no problem.  Before spazzing would begin after about 20 minutes.  $30 in parts to repair a $2,000 machine.  Not bad.  Thank you once again, everybody who posted!

  • Windows 7 x 64 installation DVD does not start on a Dell XPS One 2710

    I apologize in advance for the long post...

    Just got a Dell XPS One 2710.  Lot has happened, but let me clarify the current number as briefly as possible: the machine does not start from the HARD internal disk or the Windows 7 Installer x 64 DVD.  He gets through loading files and then gray progress bar when its colorful animation it blue screens with error CACHE_MANAGER.

    I ran the diagnostic, including tests extended memory tests, and they have not found any error in what either.

    When I was troubleshooting this problem previously, in some sort the motherboard got bricks (I don't know what exactly I did to cause that), but Dell has since replaced.  The first motherboard had BIOS version A09.  It has installed A11.

    I can't find any BIOS settings combination that will allow even the Installer Windows DVD to start with the Blue error screen CACHE_MANAGER.  I tried the UEFI boot modes and legacy, I tried RAID and AHCI.  I tried with and without loading legacy OPROMs.

    What I ultimately do is set the start mode of RAID so that I can use the SSD mSATA as a cache ("Accelerate" in the Intel RST Panel).  But I can not even the installer to start on where I can load drivers RST (assuming it's even necessary).

    Other posts have suggested problems with memory, but I took each of the two DIMMS one at a time and I always had the same problem.

    Should I suspect the hard drive?  When we arrived at the machine, he seemed to be running Windows 8 very well - until we went on the way to the side dark and downgraded to Windows 7.  Then once we started to have errors on updates, things has quickly degenerated from there.  In addition, again, diagnoses don't find any problems.

    Any suggestions on how to get at least this puppy to start?   .. .or what have we done wrong?

    Thanks EJN.  It turns out that there is certainly a hardware problem on this machine.  It was a refurbished Dell making machine and apparently when they renovated the it, they missed the real problem.

    The way I know that it is material, it's that we bought actually 2 of them at the same time.  When I started to suspect the material, I decided to try this process on the other.  He worked like a knife through hot butter.  But I will say that the combination of the BIOS set to boot legacy mode and still start the installation with the option to UEFI DVD in the start menu was not easy to understand at first.  But when I followed the correct steps, everything worked very well.

    For those of you who might try this, here are a few things I learned along the way:

    1. According to EJN, take the time to get/burn a CD to install Windows 7 x 64 that already has SP1 on it.  If you go to preserve the UEFI partitions and the boot hard disk, you must have x 64.  x 86 (32-bit) does not support UEFI.

    2 unzip the RAID drivers to the * root * your USB flash or floppy drive and have it in the machine when you start the installation DVD.  I could be wrong, but it seemed to me that the installer looked for them without having to explicitly say it loads the me.

    3. as said EJN, set your BIOS boot legacy mode but use F12 at startup to bring up the Windows Boot Manager and start the installation in UEFI boot mode DVD.  If you want to implement an SSD as cache for your hard disk, you will need to set the SATA controller in RAID mode.

    4. I had partitions UEFI and was able to leave them intact.  Here's a very brief explanation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301%28v=ws.10%29.aspx your results may vary.

    5 take this one as a possible suggestion that is worth what you pay for it: when I got the USB with RAID drivers at the root before starting the installation DVD, I didn't need to load the drivers explicitly.  As I said, it seems that the installation program has been smart enough to find and load what it takes, but honestly, I don't know.  When I load them explicitly, I got errors saying that the installer could not install on the partition, I had chosen.  Makes me think that I could have loaded both times.  What worked for me was NOT explicitly their cargo.

    6. you MUST be at your PC when Setup has completed copy and unpack the installation files.  Don't forget that you have your BIOS set to start legacy mode.  So when he tries to restart to complete the installation, it will try to start using the table inherited from on your hard disk - who is not here because you did a UEFI installation with partitions for UEFI.  So when Setup restarts the first time, you might as well get into the BIOS here and choose the UEFI boot mode.  If you do not, you will need to grab it whenever it restarts using F12 and manually tell it to boot from your hard drive using the UEFI.

    These steps, you should get installed and running.  But another thing I had to understand that when first, I installed and executed the dashboad Intel RST, there is no acceleration option even if my mSATA SSD was found healthy.  I found that if it is formatted and partitioned, you actually go into Disk Manager and delete the partition before the RST dashboard he sees as available for use as a cache.

    I hope this helps others out of me.  It's a heck of a lot easier when the hardware is not bad!

  • Dell XPS One 2710 does not start - should I all reasonable options?

    A few weeks ago, my 18 - month, Dell XPS One 2710 has started to act up.  Still not start correctly.

    Ran the Dell diagnostics on their Web site.  Everything was fine - no detected hardware problem.

    Yesterday, the computer completely stopped working.  It would be start, after a sweep of drive long, finally on the desktop, but can hang after 10 minutes.  I'm on Windows 8 (not 8.1).

    Today, I thought I would do a system restore to a point a month ago.   But today I can not get a startup complete, impossible to get on the desktop.  Therefore, can't do a system restore.  Instead, I see this screen.

    I have the options to continue?   I don't have a recovery disk.

    You can install 8.1 on top of what you have by a 16 GB or more usb flash drive as a bootable recovery media.

    If it does not recognize the key to your Bios, you can use a generic key for install but not activate.

    All the pre installed 8.x are 64-bit so make sure you download the correct version.

  • Dell XPS One 2710 Fresh install

    I want to do a new install of the operating system with a new SSD, I intend to buy my 3 years old Dell XPS One 2710. It is my understanding that the Windows operating system authorization key is integrated into the motherboard. I think it is in the BIOS from what I've read.

    My question is if I install a new hard drive and do a clean from scratch the Windows OS authorization key install will still be valid and knit?  Moreover, would this work if I tried to do a clean install of Windows 10? Thank you!

    Throw the DVD in the trash if its for Windows 8.0 which is end of life. A DVD can be refused by SecureBoot. Also the Windows 8.0 installation and then allowing Windows Update for Windows 8.1 will lead to catastrophic performance.

    Its really simple to do theres just a bunch of information about the editions at the beginning... which often get confused. It seems that you are sure that your edition 8.1 Windows (Home) is however. Take a look at the associated tutorial video too:

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Is6I9B9kjFM&list=PL1RkaknDn7v9wEeh0YXFqOFsrmws-9fYn&index=1

    This video tutorial is more direct because it focused only on Windows 8.x OEM with a UEFI BIOS licenses that apply to your system. It omits all details on retail licenses and hardware legacy. Note the .isos used in the tutorial video are Windows 8.1 with Update 2 and not Windows 8.1 with update 1 as shown.

  • Dell XPS One 2710 - SSD drive?

    Hello.

    I look forward to the new 27 '' AIO Dell XPS One 2710 with the 3rd Gen i7.  However, I note that there doesn't seem to be an SSD option in the settings.  Is it possible to have one included in the machine for OS and apps, etc.?

    It is a big job to remove the screen, so keep all the screws that are organized and make sure you are statically relieved before opening your machine.

  • Dell XPS 13 flickering of the screen (9350)

    Just got the XPS 13 (9350) last week and I had a few intermittent black screen flicker that occurs normally in short bursts of 4-5 short black outs in a period of two or three seconds. Technical support updated all drivers and others, but I always feel the questions. Anyone had similar problems and possible solutions?

    I looked at the previous messages and the display flashes, it's not where it actually distorts the things on the screen, it literally just seems like it flashes. Any help is appreciated!

  • iMac with flickering of the screen crash

    Hello

    for two days my iMac starts flashing with green and bright stripes flashing until the screen is 5 cm off to the left. Finally, everything crashes. Sometimes with a blue screen, sometimes with a white screen as a window only to see a very small strip on top.

    No new software has been installed, not new material. It does not start when I use special software or when it's too hot. It crashes just out of nowhere.

    Test hardware Apple did not find anything. Updated for 10.11.6 does not help.

    I could test or do to fix?

  • Flickering of the screen, screen goes black at the beginning to the top or re boot

    I have a problem with the screen flickering at first upward. (Computer Toshiba satellite laptop) I start the computer and once windows starts to load I immediately encounter a flickering (somewhat like a light bulb which is about to release) the screen flashes and then goes to black... I have so stop and keep trying to re-start. After 25 + times it finally it loads correctly. This may take 20 to 30 minutes each time it happens... which is usually every morning when I get up and turn on your computer! I searched on the web and see many other people having the same problem, but have not yet found a solution.

    There have only been a time it happened when I wasn't initially upwards... regularly, he was initially upwards... once my login screen happens, I get my password and the programs loading - I have no flicker. Can someone please tell me what is the problem and how to fix it? I limited the computer knows how... step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Shake/flickering of the screen.

    Since I bought my new computer, the screen flickers or shakes annoyingly. It happens only if I'm only on my desk, nothing doing, but if I start using Google Chrome for example, the screen begins to blink a lot, it becomes even more intense if I watch a video.

    Luckily I found a temporary solution for this: let my computer go on screen saver. The screen stops flashing for as long I have my power supply of the computer on (even if I put it on sleep), but if I shut down or restart my computer, I have to wait again, screen saver to correct flicker.

    Have to wait for my computer go to the screensaver really bothers me whenever I turn it on even if I put the screen saver timeout for only 1 minute.

    I'm suspecting that it is caused by my graphics card, but not quite sure. I tried with another monitor, but it still happens, so it's not caused by my monitor.

    I have Windows 7 with ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 6870. My monitor is LG IPS225.

    Is this a known problem and is there a solution permanent for this?

    EDIT: My screen is off, do not go on the screen saver.

    Control Panel-> hardware and sound-> power-> Settings.This of Plan Options change are where I change the timer to 1 min when I turned on my computer and then change again to where I normally keep it's 10 min.

    First, turn off and unplug all cables from your PC.  Hold the button for 7 seconds.  Open the PC.  Remove the video card and reinsert it firmly.  Make sure that the cables that connecting now are correctly connected.  While you're there, you can do the same "re-Assisi" of all the plug-ins including caps and memory, hard drive controller plugs, etc.

    This could be a driver problem.  There may be an update to the driver.  Try to roll back the previous driver if it is available.

    Manager devices, right click on the ATI device, choose Properties, and then choose restore.  It is also possible that there is a newer driver available on the ATI site, which solves this problem.

    I believe that the most likely cause is your videocard itself.  Check to see if it still under warranty.  It could very well be.

    Moreover, the screen save time-out is definable.  You can even go to this place and click a button to enter this mode temporarily.

  • Windows 7 laptop: occasional, power flickering of the screen

    Starting yesterday (31/07/2012), my laptop has a flicker of frankly boring and occasional screen. At first, it was just the refresh rate being turned down to 40 hertz, for some strange reason. However, it is now at 60 hertz, can go no higher and still has the annoying flicker of 40 hertz.

    When the blinking begins, it is not really noticeable, especially when the display shows a blank page or something, but it is much more sensitive when I flip to something that consists of darker colors or more lines. Twinkle isn't the white flashing screen, it's really more like someone decided to throw switch rage of light with every odd row of the rear lights.
    What is more, it's twinkle isn't always there. Sometimes, the functions of the screen perfectly, other times, I opened it and it flashes.
    The laptop is a Latitude E6410. The card is a NVIDIA NVS 3100 M. I recently installed a driver for Quadro performance from their site since my laptop had difficult games (1 fps isn't good!).
    So, really, the main question is "do I have to install another update, or do I have to get the repaired screen?".
    Thank you for your time.
    Note: whenever the flickering starts, I shut down the computer, and then open it again. After typing my password and log back in, it seems to have difficulty remembering what resolution she was worth, doing whatever it is on the screen a little bigger than what it is supposed to be for a little while.

    I turned my computer on the high performance setting, and oddly enough, Twinkle stopped (it has been in this position for a few days, flicker-free).

    I think it could have also been caused by the inability of my computer cool itself properly, a problem that I am temporarily fixing with a bag of ice and a case of pencils to tilt the computer up a little bit. The permanent solution is coming Tuesday in the form of an additional fan.
    Thank you, you all for taking your time to help me with this problem. Have a good morning, day or night (whatever it is there where you are).
  • HP Officejet J3680 All-in-one: error message on the screen of the printer cartridge

    The message in the window of my printer says cartridge error. I opened the door of the cartridge and makes sure that the cartridges were safe. Message on the screen of my computer says low ink. If the ink is completely out, the printer fails to print and display cartridge error? The cartridge is fairly recent, but it is a remanufactured cartridge.

    I guess that if the printer who copied the cartridge was okay   Then, I got a popup asking if I had problems printing with Windows 10.  After several entries and finally get a prompt for HP Assistant something or other I was finally able to print. I guess that the printer was not recgnizing Windows 10. Now, he recognizes it and is the fine print. Thanks for your comments.

  • Reinstall the Windows XP with SP3 causes flickering on the screen

    Hello

    I recently reinstalled Windows XP SP 3 on my laptop. After installation, I started to notice that the screen flashes when I try to move or down in windows Explorer or even browsers. I thought that it could be linked to the frequency of the screen refresh.

    I noticed that refresh is set to "default to the setting material" and it gives me no option to change to 60 htz.

    can someone help me figure this out?


    You probably need to update driver for video (monitor) card. Or simply you need set the appropriate (through software coming with driver) discount rate.

    Optional: You can also customize some parameters of performance (uncheck the display contents of windows slides & lala).
