Hi, Due to the location of my 580 I cannot press the power button. Various suggestion have been made re shorting the pins on the header but my header is a multipin plug and socket. I would like to connect a remote power button if possible, but do not know how to safely connect or where to connect t

Hi, I am happily using an xps aio 2720. It's a great computer! The only issue is that new games demand stronger graphic card. Since its an all-in-one computer, I was told that it's impossible to install a different card. I looked over the web and found several external graphic cards. the most inter

I have three Dell Lattitudes with powered eSata ports. I purchased a sata/power cable to SATA interface hoping to use a SSD or 2.5" hard drive. However although there is power going to the drive, it is not recognised on boot nor in Windows 10 x64. There are no drivers missing in Device Manager. Th

Hello, I am wondering if there are approved/compatible WLAN cards to replace/upgrade the Dell 1506 model which came standard with the Inspiron 660. Mine seems to be acting up (intermittent connectivity issues which do not affect two other Dell's in the same home).  I have upgraded the drivers

Hello I just reinstalled win7-64bit on a new precision 3420 desktop. I downloaded all the drivers from the website and also used the Dell Driver utility but I still have 3 devices that are not recognised. These are: SM Bus Controller PCI Memory controller PCI data acquisition and signal proc

I was looking at turning a older dell intel computer into a NAS and was wondering if it will support a 3 or 4tb hard drive. Emailed dell about this, and they sent me this reply: good day to you. The 780 would be having the same limitation in size that come with the storage format of NTFS. I checke

Mcoderators - my apologies if this is not in the correct forum, please move if required... I purchased my Optiplex 5050 in May 2017. It came in a sealed box and I had to do the usual set up.  My 3 year warranty runs until 22/05/2020. A few days ago looking under saved logs in Event Viewer I

My hard drive failed recently and the computer won't boot, gets to the spinning dots and just stays there. Went in to the diagnostics and the hdd fails on thorough testing. My question is can I replace the hdd with a ssd and reload windows 10 from a iso disk? Do I need to reload MS8 first before loa

Hi,Is it likely that Dell will produce version 12 of a bios in the forseeable future - if so any guesses when?I am feeling limited by the 3Tb max HDD size and hope this will allow a reasonable increase say to above 6Tb. I know I can add other drives, NAS etc.. but I'd prefer to plan my moves rather

Sorry for the slightly duplicate question, but I haven't seen any exact instructions for adding an SSD drive to a 3668 desktop. I've seen that it needs a splitter for the power portion of it, but not any actual instructions, or if it needs a bracket of any sort. Maybe there are instructions for anot

I'm planning to upgrade my computer as it's not the best for the moment, I was wondering if it would be possible to upgrade to an EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING graphics card.  My specs (according to Speccy): CPU Intel Core i3 7100 @ 3.90GHz Kaby Lake 14nm Technology RAM 8.00GB Single-Ch

So I remember a forum post saying that in order to use graphics cards in a dell 3847 you had to turn off secure boot. I remember doing that in advance for when I would get a gtx 1050 for my pc, but ever since then I've had to press F12 during boot up and boot through "legacy" to get into windows. It

My 790 SFF contains a 2nd gen i5-2400 at present.  I was wondering if it would support any 3rd gen processors, in particular an i5-3xxx or i7-3xxx?  The Tech Guide only lists 2nd gen processors, but I was wondering if that is simply because it was printed before the 3rd gen were released.
