Studio XPS 435T/9000 & Windows 8

Question

I tried to set up my system for dual boot to Windows 8 Pro but it kept hanging.

It should work. It's just a normal computer.

You will have to supply details on "hanging" (when, where, etc.)

Hi AlanAT,

Dell has not tested windows 8 for this system.

The reason why system hangs is because few items are not compatible for windows 8 that’s when you are facing an issue.

Please do get back to us for further assistance or information.

You sound like a power user.

That little PS will forever hold you back. A nice (modular cable) Corsair PS is only around $100. I put a Corsair 750w in my XPS-410 (and a 650w in my brother's). Runs cool and quiet even under heavy gaming loads.

I suggest you stick with AMD, XFX is good. Maybe a 6870 or 6950 (6xxx) card with PCIe v2.0 to avoid possible v3.0 compatibility problems.
