I am thinking about buying a used Dell computer It is a Dell Inspiron 531S but it has no powersource so I need to know which one I should get and also can I upgrade the system to windows 7 if it allows.
View 1 RepliesI would like to install a new video card for my dell machine.
Dell Inspiron 531s
Windows 7 32-bit
Power Supply Unit: 250w
1 PCI-Express slot
Current Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
(motherboard gpu)
Here is the GPU I'm looking at:
Newegg.com - SPARKLE SFPX95GT512U2L GeForce 9500 GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
I am concerned about the weak power supply and the motherboard GPU interfering.
Should I be considering a external power booster?
I would love to hear your suggestions.
My inspiron 531S stopped reading my SD card from my camera. I can view pics in my camera but no longer can load pics onto my computer
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell N5030 laptop. I recently did some maintenance on it by replacing the power jack thinking that it was not recognizing the adapter for some reason. However I am still not getting any power from the adapter.
When the battery is in the Laptop the machine will start to power on, but before anything can show up on the screen it powers back down. I'm unsure of how to proceed.
dell inspiron 570 desktop 2gb ram win 7 avast malwarebytes. best buy demo model bought last october. started having problems a few months ago when downloading Internet videos. it would shut off with no warning. event log showed kernel 41 power issue but no other info. it seemed to happen after every windows update. system restore or booting to last known good configuration helped for a while. now the computer will only stay on for 5 min before it dies. sys restore stopped working. it's unable to extract a copy of the directory so i'm thinking it may be a win 7 reinstall situation. unfortunately i don't remember my admin password so i couldn't access the repair options.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've had my laptop Dell INSPIRON N5030 for about a year.It was working fine up till now but when I boot it up it gives me a windows recovery error.It says: windows failed to start. a recent hardware or software might be the cause.When I choose the launch start repair, it just gives me the windows screen with the mouse and nothing happens.Then if i choose load windows normally, it will just go to the loading screen then it'll stay there for a while then go back to the windows recovery error.I've also tryed to reboot the hard drive by pressing F12, but it won't let me it just puts me back on to the windows recovery error screen.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron 1440 running windows 7. This computer was purchased new about a year and a half ago, and I have had no problems up until a couple days ago. I went to turn my laptop on the other morning and as usual the dell logo came up and loaded, then the windows symbol saying "starting windows"... then strangely a black screen with a cursor arrow... nothing more, no log in screen... just black nothingness... I have ran the diognostics and they all say "pass". I am able to access F2 & F12 but it will not boot in safe mode or with a command prompt.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron 700m. I can't find a video (graphic) driver for it. I went to Dell support website but can't find the right driver. I understand Dell doesn't support this model for Vista or Windows 7. I even google for the driver. Quite a few people have the same problem. Do you happen to know a driver to take its place? I went to Device Manager and it shows that I'm missing the Video Controller.
