XPS One A2420 64-bit driver

I have an A2420 a XPS with Nvidia GeForce 9600 M GT. I tried to install Vista and Windows 7 64 - bit Os on this machine. The only problem I have is the video driver for the Nvidia card. I tried the Nvidia 64 bit driver for this card from Nvidia, but I get the error "cannot install due to hardware not recognized." Microsoft update downloads as a 64-bit driver and it installs. The problem is that in Windows 7, the video screen goes black every two minutes and a message appears saying that the card was insensitive and the operating system is healed. In addition, the mouse is erratic. This became very aggravating since I contacted the support technique dell several times and they assured me that this system would be in charge of Windows 7 64 bit and all drivers would be available. Someone at - it had the same problem and resolved it? If so, how.

Thought I would add a comment to this topic, as it's the only one I found sound advice for this problem of video on the XPS One (thanks Rajer74). Mine is the A2420, but I would not be surprised if other models have been affected.

My problem actually started after the upgrade video via windows update drivers when I still had the original Vista 32 bit installed. Thought it was vista because it is this rubbish a BONE, so upgraded to Windows 7 32bitt in the free upgrade to Dell - same problem. I tried 64 bit in desperation - no change.

Symptoms-

  • An intermittent cutting of the screen
  • Occasional breaks / crashes/freezes mouse who then thaw
  • System freezes requiring a reset
  • Error message after the recovery of black screen - something about kernel flaw (unfortunately, I deleted my screenshot so do not have the exact wording)
  • problem with one driver other than windows standard VGA driver or original (very old) 32-bit vista driver (on the Dell installation disk).

If you have any of these symptoms, it is not a fault of driver - there is a problem with your nVidia video card and it must be replaced.

If your card works fine, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 will correctly identify the card as a GeForce 9600 M and install correct nVidia drivers. Drivers available through windows update are also correct and will work properly.  (Note that I have not been able to get the driver packs downloaded directly from the nVidia site to install, but I didn't spend much time on what Windows Update drivers are very well).

It took me forever to resolve this issue with Dell. Their support based system check means that I ended up having to wipe my HD, re - install vista 32 bit original and go throught he process everything again before the tech would believe that the problem was not the driver 64 bits (or lack thereof). I know that their system is set up to accommodate the lowest common denominator of PC savvy-ness, but they really need to simplify things for those of us who have a little idea of what's going on. I had already tried all the tech then passed around again. Spent hours on the phone with him the wretch machine remote control.

It is interesting material technology who arrived to replace the card took a look at the screenshot, I got the error and immediately said oh - "it's a problem with the card. His opinion is that, even if nVidia chips graphics excellent, they often have manufacturing problems that they are slow to own up to and difficulty. This isn't the only dell system that suffers from dodgy nVidia chips.

For the record, the Dell XPS One A2420 works perfectly with Windows 7 64 bit. Drivers are available for all standard material in the machine. Also, if you got the Win 7 32 bit free update, your also activation code will work with Win 7 64 bit, I just borrowed disc one friend (even if retail Win 7 packs have 32 and 64-bit included, upgrade of Dell has only 32 bit). I installed on a clean hard disk, you do not need to upgrade Vista despite some odd warnings of M$ who install a cleaning may not work because this is only an upgrade license. In fact, I highly recommend get rid you of all traces of Vista and do a clean install. My machine works much better on Win7 64 bit.

Hope that helps!

  • 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.

    Hello!

    I need a Vista 32 bit driver for my GeForce 8700 M GT. The toshiba driver is too old for Gears of War. The game requires at least the pilot 163.44. Anyone have any idea where I can get one?

    Hello guys

    You can do what you want, but be careful with all these drivers Toshiba is not approved. As you know cell phones must be cooled properly and it there a lot of other factors is responsible for this. Toshiba sets different values and parameters of the graphics card itself and I heard that by the use of some third party drivers, these values can be changed and not only temporarily.

    The changed values in the graphics card BIOS may result with permanent running cooling fan, high temperature graphics card, and so on. Very interesting, is that there is no chance of getting the original values, even after the installation of operating system with supplied recovery media.

    I hope that something like this will not happen to you and you can use your laptop as before, but in my opinion you should think twice before using the drivers not approved by laptop manufacturers.

  • Messages to update Windows Vista 64-bit driver for Qosmio F30 Vista 32 bit

    Today, I noticed that, update Windows Vista displays the bad update for one of the drivers of Qosmio F30.

    I have Windows Vista 32-bit, but Windows Update post a 64 bit version of the driver.

    Any idea?

    Hmm... it's strange?  :|

    The ACPI from Toshiba x 64 compatible driver certainly means a 64-bit version!

    I put t know why Vista driver update notification indicates a 64-bit to a 32 bit OS driver, but usually the 64-bit driver should not be compatible with the 32 bit OS.

    However, the deal seems clear don t install if the pilot is not designed for your operating system.

    Unfortunately, the 64-bit XP drivers are very rare and on the Toshiba driver page, you will find everything.

  • 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.

  • Pure install Windows8 on Dell XPS one 27

    Hey there

    I buy a Dell XPS 27 last week, unfortunately it is installed with a windows 7.

    When I try to install Windows 8 Pro I can not find any hard disk-> RAID is installed in cache Mode with the mSata card.

    Which driver should I use to do the 2 TB harddiscdrive visible in the installation menu?

    Thank you very much

    Reto

    PS: now I have upgraded Windows 7 installation with windows 8-> Windows Update service does not work (error triggered anytime I'll reboot the system)

    When you install the DELL XPS One 27 clean you MUST have the INTEL RAPIDSTORAGE driver on memoryStick.

    Use Windows 8 disc and start with F12 Commandbutton installation (Start menu)!

    Following the installation and use manuallinstallation option!

    Now that you see a clear list of the hard drives-> it's failure, but I have the solution!

    You can see the "Load driver" button on the left Push it!

    Now you can load your memoryStick with the unzipped driver of intel (x 64) rapidstorage!

    The installation routine find now a driver for XPS-> install

    After the installation of the driver-> all hard drives are displayed in the list.
