Hello XPS Club users

New to the dell community cheers everyone!

just got a xps 710. waiting till tuesday for it to arrive

Hello Everyone. I have been running this 435 MT for about 4 weeks now.  It is very fast and have not seen the system lock up.  The only question I have is this: When the computer goes into power save mode, it will sleep for a bit, but then I will see it go back to the terminal screen and the screen saver will activate again and it will eventually go back into sleep mode. It appears to repeatedly cycle this way.  Is this normal for a computer to wake up from sleep mode without touching the mouse or keyboard?

Hello Chris, I just baught an XPS 630, the one with the free 20" monitor and 8gigs of Mem.  I heard that I can change the color of my lights on my tower(LED I guess).  I tried restarting and hitting F2, but it won't let me go to the BIOS option.  So I then went into my Nvidia settings and all there is in there is:  3D Settings, Display, Storage, and Video & Television.  There is no option for Performance with LED option. 

Am I able to change my LED lights?

Thanks

Hello,

I'm new to the group and based on what I've seen, I must be the only one with an XPS 410.  Anybody out there have one?

Lets have a look sometime for real excitement

New to dell forum, Just got my new dell XPS M1330 that I ordered for my daughter to have while she is in the Air Force, opened it up and it is the wrong color it was shipped to me in black when I odered midnight blue and the sound card was down graded all wich was Dell's fault when I placed my order on line they called me to confirm it and I changed one thing that day and that was wireless card but the tech who called me changed the color of the shell and the sound card and now Dell won't do anything about it I've called every number I can find and all they tell me is that was how it was ordered so it's my problem even though I have the origanal order number that shows how I ordered it. Does anyone know who to get a hold of and how to fix this?

I have a XPS M1330 laptop (Vista Ultimate 32) and an XPS730 desktop (Vista Ultimate 64)

Who decided on a 100mbit NIC for the laptop?

I am finding some difficulty in getting my IO drivers to not break the 64 bit windows.  They are all Dell drivers, but unless I leave the IO driver alone, it breaks and I have to reinstall with an error message BEFORE the OS loads (so no safe mode and no system restore).

When it works, it works great, but if XP could see all 6 gb of RAM that is what I would use.

Windows 7 is supposed to fix all that driver stuff, but I still wonder about the benefits of 64 bit over the risks.

Hi folks, Im new to this goup and a little new to dell. I have an xps m1530 250GB drive, 2.6ghz, 15.4"

I have to say i do like it, this being my 1st Dell product.

I had a little problem with my dell restore facility, (F8) just to say Dell service were not to good in sorting it out. It's less than 4 months old and they said "GO TO PRESTO, YOULL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT"

I beleive my partitions are out of sync etc as Norton ghost refuses to restore to an earier time, (Drive invalid)

Does any king person have the correct partition settings for my model or even a partition image made by Acronis or Paragon which i can use to restore the correct settup. I have norton ghost images of my drive which will complete the restore procedure when the partitions are set correctly

Quite happy for you to email me/contact direct.

Look forward to any replies

when i 1st had my xps 420 the performance was great but would randomly lock up, id hear the hard drive spin loud, then itd work again. replaced both the motherboard and hard drive, reinstalled vista several times, nothing worked. then i installed win xp, and the locks went away its been great for 9 months now

now the video card is crashing. dell is working with me to fix it, but the problem is it happens randomly, i cant replicate it on demand. so now im installing xp on a separate hard drive (i wasnt gonna refomat to test this out) for a fresh install to see if its the video card

New to the forum and hope my input will assist others.  I have an XPS 720 H2C which I purchased about 15 months ago.  This has been the worst computer I have ever owned.  Here is the issue, overtemp failure of several varieties.  The computer thinks it is overtemping and shuts down due to either a failed cooling unit, card cage fan failures or temp exceedance of some fashion.  This computer has had 3 mother boards, 2 liquid cooling units, 2 processors, 2 card cage fans, 1 case fan and a PS fan installed since new.  After each tech visit, the computer works for a few weeks, then back to shutting down.  I am exhausted with all the Dell trouble shooting I have done and all the service techs that have been to my home.  The local techs are on a first name basis with me, no joke!  I will say Dell has been responsive to trying to get this computer under control, but it is just a lost cause.  Last week Dell wanted to put the 4th mother board in and that was it for me.  I asked for a replacement system.  I asked for anything but another XPS 720.   well, they have shipped another XPS 720...   I will try it out, but I very dubious that this thing can function properly for more than 6 months.  I am afraid I am getting a refurbished unit and will inherit someone elses issues.

Has anyone else been having simular issues with a 720 computer?  Worst thing is I paid BIG bucks for this computer and I bought my son a cheaper Gateway computer and that thing cranks it out, no issues.  Now it's a houshold joke...  Hope someone out there has seen this before and can shed some light on this.  Thanks all!

Forgot to mention, my pc can't go into sleep mode.  It tries, goes dark momentarily, then comes back up...

A newbie to the forum here --I have an XPS Studio 420 and have been fighting this machine since purchase last August.  First frustration momentary freezeups ---I have to wait it out or pull up the task manager and back out of whatever program I'm in.  Second frustration failure of the mouse to track properly.  'm on my 3rd. mouse now, a wireless, trying to find one that will work properly. Third frustration kayboard malfunctions. 'm on thrid keyboard now and have decided it is not the mouse or they keyboard, it's the system. As you can see by the above, everytime  I hit the capital "I" it either goes into italics or skips altogether.

This isbeyond doubt the worst excuse for a computer since my old clunker that ran Windows 3.1.  I don't know where to blame Dell or Vista........

Hello,  I have an XPS 420 and have not been satisfied with it's performance whatsoever.  For one, my internet connection drops intermittently all the time.  I've searched this site for people who've experienced something similar and tried some of the listed solutions to no avail.  If anyone else has some information on solving this issue, I would highly appreciate it.

My system is running Windows Vista Ultimate, sp1- 32-bit operating system

Faisal,
More information is needed for assistance to be provided. There are around 240 different blue screen errors that can occur in Windows XP. What's the error code on the blue screen you're getting?

I HAVE XPS M 1210 AND IT HAS BLUE SCREEN PROBLEM, ANYONE CAN HELP ON THAT ? I DON'T HAVE XP CD TO REBOOT FROM CD. IS THERE ANYOTHER WAY LIKE GOING FROM BIOS F12 or BY SAFE MODE F8 ??

THANKS

Why don't we just set up an XPS M1530 forum for all the questions specific to this model? Perhaps just an XPS forum for laptops only. In the past there were so many problems listed daily. MY confusion was how many problems were really hardware versus software problems. I have been using my XPS laptop for about 6 months with minimal problems but I can relate to many of the difficulites listed previously in the XPS Forum. I bring my laptop back and forth to work and it is my only computer for work and play. As a physician I rely on it to log into my hospital and office. Loading the software on multiple computers would be tedious. I am jealolus that my practice and hospital are not Apple compatible. The I-Macs blow every other laptop out of the water. Although the XPS at first glance looks cool; it is built chintzy when compared to Apple Products. There are too many cracks and opening that allow dirt and grime to accumulate. It is not as durably built as other laptops and the speakers are horrible. In my opinion it is only a slight improvement over the Inspiron series. My son in school uses a Lenovo (IBM) thinkpad that is much stronger and can take alot more abuse. Anyway, i would appreciate other people feedback regarding laptops and what they would recommend in th e future.

any XPS one 24 owners ?  looking for feedback on the system

Thanks
