I just got my 8960 last month, and am thinking of upgrading to Thunderbolt 4.  My original plan was to wait until new systems offered Thunderbolt, but my HP Envy bit the dust. My starting research said the RTX 3060 video card blocked both PCIe x4 slots.  I removed the left side panel today, and the

Hi, I my pc has 2 x 8 GB RAM installed with the other two slots empty. I was thinking about adding 2 more identical make 8GB modules in the other two slots. Will that work? I have seen posts that imply that 4x8GB config is not good.

It's July 2023 and I still have this issue that's been reported here and on several other threads. Every so often, it just won't wake up in response to mouse movement, keypress, or respond to the power button either. The ONLY solution is a hard reboot. And sometimes that doesn't even work and I have

HI everyone,  I got this desktop back in November and I've got a few problems that I'll just mention below. Firstly, there isn't any audio coming from the speakers at all. I didn't even know that there was supposed to be audio and so I just left it. I've tried running some tests on windows 11 which

I was trying to use Intel's Unison to connect my iPhone to my XPS... it started, filled the screen and started to load my phone and exited. Repeated it and it did it again? I tried a few times using the QR code to link the XPS and Phone via the program, and the CORRECT letters show. However both the

Dear Forum users, Unfortunately I don't know the history beforehand, nor what exactly I did, but I notice that my computer has a lot of problems starting up. The problem starts as soon as I turn on the computer. My indicator on the computer does not light up solid white, but flashes once, followed b

Hello, everyone. I had Dell XPS 8700 for many years. Now I want to upgrade ram, the original ram is 12 GB (2+2+4+4, Samsung 2GB PC3-12800U-11-11-A1 1600MHZ, Non-ECC DDR3 memory, 1.5V).

So my XPS 8930 (bought in July 2018) died, it would give 2 quick Amber LED burts on power button separated by a few seconds to another Amber LED and then repeat. Dell support says it's a motherboard failure and 8930 is too old for them to even sell me a replacement motherboard. So left with no choic

Hi, I recently bought the new dell XPS desktop (8960), and since purchasing I've had an issue with a black screen.

Today I am getting a new xps 8950 computer which will replace my xps 8940 broken computer. I do not want to return the 9040 with the original SSD that has personal info on it. So I thought that I could just return it with a new onboard SSD that I have just purchased. I am wondering if this would s

As the Subject says, I'm trying to decide if I should buy a desktop XPS 8950 (or 8960) with one 16GB DIMM or 2 x 8GB DIMMs. For now, 16GB of RAM is all I really need, but I want to leave myself with the flexibility to add RAM in the future. Here's what I'm thinking about: 1- (This may be outdated in

My computer recently crashed and Dell support decided to send me a replacement computer instead of a repair tech. Unfortunately, I need to get the data off the onboard ssd card.  I viewed the method of removing the card but after that what is recommended to connect via usb to other computer to

Someone on this forum said that one should not install bios updates after the warranty has expired. I would like to hear what opinions others have, pro and con.

I'm planning to buy one of the 2 following configurations but would like to know what PSU will be installed. In Canada there is no customer choice of PSU size. The Chassis Options all say "460W" and I'm thinking it should have a 750W PSU. Can someone shed some light on what Dell will build in for th

Hello, My video card went out and I bought an RX  6700XT. The out of the box PSU with the XPS 8940 doesn't seem to have the power required to use this video card. I have an Antec Neo Eco 600w sitting around I thought I would use to replace the one in my XPS 8940.   I noticed however,

Hello,  1. A few days ago (05/18/2023) I installed BIOS Level  2.12.0  on my wife's XPS-8940. 2. Since then, when she does a shutdown from Windows 11, the computer shuts down momentarily, stays powered off for about 1 second, then restarts.  This problem did not occur before I installed the BIOS 2.1
