dustynuget: Thanks again for your help. I need to go to the well one more time. Do you think my M3918 board will support my Intel P4 640 LGA775 3.2 Ghz 2MB 800 FSTS cpu . dustynuget It should be fine. You need to upgrade the BIOS to the latest version A10, when support for newer processors was added. Bev.

Keep in mind the "highest" Dxxx CPU you can use in a Dell is a D945. The Intel site lists maximum of a D960 but there are documented cases of users attempting to use the D960 and it would not work (posted on the old Dell users forum). There are posts, on the old Dell users forum confirming the D945 works. I upgraded from the original D805 to a D925 in my Dimension E510 which is identical to the 5150 and...

Have you tried rebooting in Safe Mode? If that works, remove any drivers for the old monitor and install the drivers for the Dell monitor. Does the Dell monitor and video card have the right match for connectors? eg, VGA or DVI... Ron

NEW XPS 730x Owner's thread
Published (2009-11-18 23:23:00)
mpoffo: OK, have a question for you all. My understanding of the I-7 is that it has 4 cores and with HT has 8 threads (2 per core). If that is correct why would someone with the same processor as me (965) in 3DMark06 show 8 cores vs my 4 cores? Is it a difference with the motherboard or are they configuring the 3DMark06 software differently? Thanks Mark Real OC VS simulated OC. Real...

Dell Factory Image Restore
Published (2009-11-20 10:31:00)
Welcome to the forums Lau 1. The factory image will restore your system back to exactly how it was when you first received it - complete with the RAID 0 setup. For that reason... 2. Most everything will (/should!) work as it is now. However, you'll undoubtedly still need to reinstall/update some drivers, so have the drivers discs you (should've) received with the system...

Open up Device manager (right click My Computer | Properties | Device manager). Find the USB Hub items at the bottom, right click on each one, then click on the Advanced tab. It should tell you if each port is running at full speed or not.
If they are, then what kind of drives do you have? 10MB/sec is slow for a 7200 RPM SATA drive, but if your external drive is a 5400 RPM drive then that ...

I can't see a suitable driver on the Studio 540 downloads page either ... under any OS/version?
Certainly in their laptops, the media card readers are Ricoh models?
It's a combo floppy drive/media card reader in your system though, which *might* suggest the drivers for it are included with the chipset drivers?
If you have no luck, I'd advise you to get in touch with ...

Chris,
We never did get an answer in the old forum about if/when Dell is going to give us a faster BIOS for the XPS 730. BIOS 1.05 is terribly slow, as I am sure you know. What news?

Am I the only one having this problem ? Should I return back my desktop ? Or may I hope for a compatible driver Win 7 64 ?
The intervention of a representative from Dell would be greatly appreciated.

There are four versions of the Optiplex GX620, which one do you have?
A blinking amber power LED, usually indicates a bad power supply
Are any of the four diagnostic lights lite?
Does the power supply fan work?

Try loading an older bios and see if the issue continues.

Hello,
I can only suggest that the BIOS updater is not Windows 7 or 64 bit compliant.
The 64 bit BIOS update file for Vista listed for your system is here . If I am correct, and if Dell does not provide a BIOS file that will work with Windows 7, you may need to buy and install a new sound card. Sorry

What colour is the power button LED, is it blinking, or solid?

Are you getting a flashing amber power light? If so, in most cases that is the power supply and considering we have seen an abnormal amount of E510 power supplies fail that is probably the problem.
The E510 (I have an E510) uses a standard ATX power supply. If you decide to get a power supply, get a minimum of 350 watt model and 400 is probably a little better and if you are considering ...
