Can’t find this motherboard on pc part picker?
Dell XPS 8700 DZ87M01 LGA 1150 desktop motherboard KWVT8 0KWVT8. This is the motherboard in my dell XPS. Basically, I am trying to find a case that will fit this specific motherboard in it but I can’t find the motherboard on pcpartpicker
My computer power button got pushed in too far?
So I tried to turn off my computer since it was frozen. There was no other way but to hold the power button down. So I did, but I guess I pushed too hard, and the power button got pushed back into the computer :/ It still works, and I'm using it right now. The thing is, you have to get some tweezers, and pull it out, then push it back in to make it work. Do you think it could be fixed without taking it to the repair shop? I'm not a computer genius, so I'm pretty scared of doing something that might make it even worse. My computer is a Compaq Presario PC SR5510F, if that will help anything. Thanks.
Is there any negative-positive output in a computer motherboard where I can connect my own DC lights for decoration?
Red color indicates the positive wire with 5 volts of DC power.Black has always been the ground wire in almost all electronic devices.White is the data as a "positive" wire, whileGreen is also for the data , but as the negative wire.Common USB wires inside | SourceOther ColorsSome USB cords have different wire color combinations, like orange, blue, white, and green. In this case:Orange is the positive, with 5 volts of power in the DC (direct current).White indicates a ground wire, meaning the negative wire.Blue corresponds to the negative dataGreen as the positive data.USB color wires with corresponding codes |SUMM-YOU CAN USE THIS 5 V ORANGE ONE AND THE NEGATIVE ONE BLUE TO MAKE OUT A 5 VOLTS POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE:D
Do dell motherboards work with any pc case?
It's not just Dells' that are weird like that, it's all old computers that are weird like that. The biggest problem that you'll have is with the front panel to motherboard connectors. OEM systems use modular connectors from the front panel to the motherboard and the motherboard is rarely marked to indicate what goes where. A custom case will have individual wires for the front panel connections (power switch, power led, reset, hard drive activity led, etc.) that will need to be placed individually on the correct motherboard pins, so before you disconnect any wires you'll probably want to trace each wire, observing proper polarity, so that you'll know where to connect the front panel wires for the new case to the motherboard. This might be useful. In this link, notice on the motherboard image- "front-panel I/O connector (J9G1)" http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/sy... The pin outs are (according to the Dell forum)- 1: HD LED + 2: Power LED + 3: HD LED - 4: Power LED - 5: Reset 6: Power 7: Reset 8: Power http://en.community.dell.com/support-for... You should be in good shape with the above info. Edit Almost forgot, the 4600 uses a micro ATX motherboard, so make sure that the case you get supports that form factor. http://www.ascendtech.us/itemdesc.asp?ic...
Motherboard and Video Card Compatibility?
I have a Dell 435MT, the board is a Dell Inc. 0R849J A00 I am running a 4850HD, 4gb ram, i7 920, with a small 360watt powersupply I would like to upgrade my case to a coolermaster Haf 922 or an Antec 900, and upgrade my video card to a 6950 and my powersupply to a antec earthwatts 650 watt. The motherboards documentation is shown here. http://supportapj.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/435MT/en/SM/techov.htm#wp1194395 I have already been told this is possible for me to do in a previous question I have asked, but I have been told differently, and that's that I will not be able to get a back panel I/O to fit the 435's motherboard configuration. So, I would like to know if this is possible, and with which case, the Haf 922/Antec 900. I would not like to have to buy a new motherboard at the time being, the card/psu/case is pretty much all my current budget.
What is the function of a reset button on CPU?
A Reset button is a momentary push button on the computer (not a CPU).For PCs, the Reset button is a normally open (N.O.) switch that when pressed, connects the motherboard’s “ground” to the reset input. When the button is released or the reset button wires are not connected, the open value normally presents a logical “1” to the reset (which means don’t reset). The reset button goes to a conditioned input (ignores switch bounce) that forces a reset to the entire motherboard circuits, which includes the CPU, as well as potentially other devices on the motherboard or any plug-in cards. It is almost identical to the reset the initial power being applied to the computer does.However, there are devices that may operate slightly different from a reset button versus a power-on reset. During a power-on sequence, everything is initialized. But in a very few cases, e.g. some LAN cards, may not re-initialize on a reset button. There may be a purpose for this, but for most people, it would be better if it did a full re-initialization.A reset button should always be a last resort in using. You should first try closing all applications (possibly through ending the task in the Task Manager if that works), and then shut down the computer. If that doesn’t work, you can try a quick press of the power button and that may shut down the applications. But if that doesn’t work and you have no mouse or keyboard control then you should either hit the reset button, or press the power button for roughly 4 seconds or longer until the computer powers off.
What do you do if your computer won't turn on after a power outage?
I think you should start with some of the basics that possibly you might not have considered.Is your computer plugged into a surge protector, and if so, does it have a circuit breaker? If so has it been tripped by a surge when the power was cut off or brought back. If the surge protector doesn't have a breaker, has the surge protector "burnt out" by a surge. Reset the breaker or replace the surge protector. It has done its job.Does your computer's power supply have a breaker? Is it tripped? If so reset it.When you attempt to turn the computer on, does the fan on the power supply turn? If it doesn't there's a chance the power supply isn't working and may need replacing. That could be cured by replacing the power supply or replacing the whole case and power supply.If you have the case open and start the computer does the cooling fan on the CPU run? If it doesn't there may be problems with power to the board. You might be looking at replacing the motherboard, CPU, or both.Do the drives run even if the CPU isn't running? The motherboard, CPU, or other important components may have been harmed by surges.If your computer can not be restarted and you can't figure out what has failed. Remember, in truth your computer is not the computer itself but what is on the hard drives. You can take those drives out and place them in another computer... but you might want a tech to do that who knows what they are doing with regards to re-registering the operating system.If your computer has a built in speaker... I know that might be archaic technology, but... computers have something called a POST test. The POST test will play a series of beeps on start-up and the pattern will tell you what has failed. If all is well, that is what produces the beep you hear when starting a computer.When I last had a problem like this... I came home after an extended absence and there had been a substantial spike on the power-lines due to a power-line tower collapsing into the Fraser River. Even though my electronics were Off, and protected by surge protectors the surge got through to the CPU of one of my desktop computers, gateway router, a printer, and a scanner. I cured the computer problem by transplanting the drives into another computer case that had a working motherboard and CPU in it.I am a bit rusty in my computer repair skills, but I hope some of this may help.
