At times, when we shut down the computer, some electric charge gets stuck in the capacitors on the circuitry, which may cause issues with the computer. The steps provided earlier help in draining this residual charge. To assist you further on this issue, I would need some more information.

Forum Post: Dell Dimension 8400 Reset
I have a Dell Dimension 8400, with 3.5 gb RAM on a 32 bit processor with Windows XP and a 500 GB HDD. I installed Ubuntu a while ago (worst decision ever), and had it with the option to dual boot.

The Windows 8 CD STARTED to work, but when I chose Troubleshoot and then "Refresh your PC" I got the following message: "The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again."

Forum Post: RE: Wake on LAN in BIOS unavailable
Is there an option for PXE or something else that needs to be enabled in order to make the WOL option available? Do you have to change some power settings in BIOS so that the network card isn't turned off?

There was no shady tactics on our part. We did not try to "get away" with anything. We sold you a system with the publicized validated video cards easily seen on the sales site. We did not hide anything.

Go here and change the OS setting to Win 8.1 and look for updated drivers for your hardware. You only need those drivers that are specific for the hardware actually installed in your system.

Forum Post: Dell XPS 435T (studio 9000)
I have a dell XPS 435T that has one optical bay free and two Flexbay free. I would like to install a SATA trayless hot wap rack so that I can remove hard drives from the front panel. For example KingWin KF-1000-BK. All the drives I see require use of a 5.

There is a power setting in the BIOS that needed to be changed in order for the WOL to be enabled. Thanks! Adam

There is no upgrade to Win 7 from XP. You have to do a clean install which wipes everything off the disk. If you have an "upgrade disk", it probably only works for upgrading Vista to Win 7.

Try replacing the CMOS battery. I have had this issue with a number of Dell Laptops and HP desktops where you shut it down properly, but it turns itself on a very short time later.

Forum Post: RE: Read HDD from Perc 3 in another machine
In a RAID 0 array using two physical disks I configure the controller with 2 separate disk groups. Have a virtual disk for each physical disk. In that fashion all I am ever going to lose is one disk of information, and depending on where the problem occurs not everything on the disk.

Forum Post: RE: smart short self test timed out?
To test your hard drive using your Dell Drivers and Utilities disc: 1. Reboot your system. When you see the Dell logo, hit F12 to enter the boot menu. 2. Insert the Dell Drivers and Utilities disc in your CD/DVD drive. 3. Pick the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive. 4.

I think you're referring to the little flip-down door in front of the optical drive. There's no reason you couldn't remove that for the purpose of installing another device in the 5.25" bay. A simpler idea might be a USB dock for an SATA drive.

Forum Post: RE: Inspiron 530 with wrong fsb
Even with DDR2 1066 the motherboard will - does not switch to 1333 fsb. I also tried a core2 duo that runs on 1333 fsb and still no swap, It is still showing 266 fsb or 1066. I know my board version supports it, just why will it not do it?

Thanks for the color specs I was thinking that the Blue were SATA 3 while the other colors were different SATA 2 and so on.

when Dell fulfills a basic expectation of customer service. * There we differ. My expectation of a product I buy is that it will perform as the stated specifications said it would when I purchased it. For example, I have the Alienware X51-R1 2012.
