Hi,

we have OpenManage Server Administrator V6.5.0 installed on a PE 2950, Windows Server 2008.

It work perfectly for a while. Now, when logging in, there are no server items found (Chassis, Storage, RAM, Processors, OS, etc.)

There were no Hardware or Software changes, only Microsoft Securtiy Patches.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Harry

Hi. I have bought this laptop during the black friday. Everything seems to be working fine, but I started getting little issue. Recently, the screen would turn off. The keyboard lights are still on, i can still hear the laptop running, but it is just the screen that I cant see. When that happened, i would have to close the laptop and open it again. Then the screen would turn back on. This happened few times but i did not pay much attention. But it keeps happening now. can anyone help me here?

Hi Dell Community

So, i bought this fine XPS L502X laptop from eBay UK last year (Lapodo Ltd, has a "Dell PartnerDirect Registrered"-logo), and everything was fine till i read a document that came with the laptop regarding transfer of the warranty to my self.

It said to go to a specific website, where i needed to type my Service Tag, which was not possible. So i called Dell Customer Service here in Denmark where i live. The guy i talked to, said that he would see if he could find out what was wrong and then get back to me, which never happened.

Time passed and now my laptop (less than 1 year old) has defective memory and a LCD defect as well, so naturally i need the warranty.

I tried to call the danish Dell Customer Service, and i was lucky enough to talk to a competent employee. He told me (after calling me back), that because my system was purchased in UK, they could not help me and i need to get in touch with the UK Customer Service.

So here i am, with a defective system, unrecognized by Dell system, after almost a year.

Please help? :(

HI I have a quad core Inspiron 545 which I have had form new (2009).

The machine was completely reliable until a couple of months ago at which point it started generating frequent BSOD.

Ran hardware diagnostics and they reported hard drive errors.

Hard drive was replace with identical model.  New drive was rebuild using dell supplied recovery disk.

Dell diagnostics reported no further errors.

At this point no further updates were made to O/S  (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit).

In this state I can reliably crash the OS by running the Windows Experience Assessment.

(It gets as far a testing cpu/memory)

I have tried replacing the memory (4GB) and still the same results.

Both the original memory and the new memory were tested for 24 hours + using memtest 86 with no errors.

The hard drive has been tested using seagates dos-based tools (8 hours +) - no errors

If it were a hard drive issue I would have expected more issues during install or boot up but it works fine at that point.
I have tried a few clean installs.  All produce the same results.

I have removed the video card and tried again just using the built in graphics controller - still crashes.

Finally I have tried with all devices diconnected except screen, keyboard, mouse and hard drive and still BSOD.

The BSOD is generating IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL errors but will vary sometimes.

Any thoughts as to the cause?  Motherboard?

Hello

Since yesterday, some of my keyboard keys has stopped working.
These include: Z, X, C, V, M, Right hand CTRL and Enter key.
Anyone got any clue how that might've happened, or what I could do to fix it? Because personally, I got no clue how to fix it, or how they stopped working in the first place. 

Drive failed, no issue (that is why we have Raid, right?)

Replaced with space, booted to Windows, only to find that in OpenManage there is NO option to do anything to the storage (apart from blink)

Is the only option to reboot yet again & do it in its own configuration utility?

I am using XPS 8500, i just bought this desktop less than a year. This few week suddenly it had this problem when i on my computer the start of each day,my computer will hang and the screen will hang there and i will not be able to move. and when i try to off it and on, the same things will happen. Some time after I off this by press the start button, there will be a orange light blinking and 4 beep sound. I cant use my computer comfortably, can someone help me?

I broke the screen off my M1530 a few months back and had been using the computer fine hooked up to the TV with the HDMI cable

I restarted my computer the other day and all of a sudden the HDMI is no longer displaying any video either.

When I turn the laptop on, the lights show up as if it's working and I can hear it making noise like it's doing something and the blue LED light shows up at the front

Anyone know what the issue could be or how to resolve this?

Thanks

I have an alienware aurora R3 the computer has always worked fine and iv'e had no problems until last night. i tried the standard overclock setting just out of interest on my bio to see what difference it made and then decided to change it back after. i decided at the time to reset Bios to default was the easiest way and now my windows wont even start.

It comes up first wanting to setup a RAID ROM due to having two hard drives I'm assuming? and then the windows logo comes up but before it forms it freezes and then doesn't work. following the instructions to repair it says the problem cannot be fixed automatically?

Feeling really annoyed about this as i don't understand how resetting the bios to what i thought they where? has caused such a problem. also the Bios is loading as A05? no idea if this makes any difference. Any help would be very appreciated thanks

I just bought a PowerEdge T110 II Server (to replace a T105 on a KVM).  I probably should have asked this before, but does a keyboard come in the box with the server chassis?

Thanks,

I purchased this system in November of 2012. This
is going to be a shortened version of my problem. I am a consulting mech
engineer and I have lost about three hours typing this in as a post in IE9
because the online editor froze half way through my typing on Friday and again
this morning. So I am using Word 2010 now and pasting. On Friday, I assumed it
was a glitch in bandwidth or IE9 froze (as it does constantly on a daily basis)
so I just went back to working on consulting projects and decided to give it
another try this morning. It froze again this morning, so it must be the
internal editor or it relationship with IE9. Obviously, I should have saved as
I was typing.

I have included my system info below. Talk as technically as you like when
you respond because I have built or repaired around 1000 to 1500 PC’s in my
spare time over the last 20 years or so. This, however, is the first time I
have experienced the following problem (even on Dell computers with proprietary
items such as graphics cards and PSU’s).

The problem: I was going to update my graphics card drivers (nVidia GTX
560 Ti (which is a Dell proprietary card and not the same as the nVidia
marketed version). The installed drivers, however, do not show up under “any”
uninstall program (including the “Add/Remove Programs” list in Windows 7. I
have a few tech packages since I repair a lot of system (and build a few
occasionally). These programs allow me to go in under the kernel of the OS (to
remove things hidden in Windows by default, which I often need to do when
removing viruses or virus-like products such as “malware”). I can’t find the
installed drivers, even with these programs. They are there but then they are
not. I can uninstall manually via the registry and then use a “sweeper” program
to remove leftover items. I know you know the importance of “complete” removal
of graphics card drivers since the cards are so picky when it comes to a clean
install of their driver package.

The only conclusion I can make is that since this a Dell proprietary
card, Dell is telling me (especially since there no graphics card driver updates
via my personalized Dell update site) that this is a proprietary driver that
never needs updating. If I am wrong, let me know if a manual uninstall is the
only way or if Dell has “hidden the uninstall feature on the root drive in the Windows
folder or perhaps the Drivers folder. I have looked in
every possible location on the hard drive (even by booting from a USB drive
from within a tech program that uses Linux as an OS so I can find anything that
windows would hide under normal  cases). If
the feature is on the hard drive, Dell must have used the Blowfish algorithm to
encrypt and hide it.

Please respond back to me at jsmithjr@mediastreamus.net
if possible. You also may be interested to know something I discovered the
first time I disassembled the computer which was two weeks or so after
purchasing it. I tear all computers I work on down to each individual basic
part and dust and clean them thoroughly whenever I work on one. I tear mine
down once a month to clean all contacts and remove all dust (I use a ground mat
and wrist strap to avoid electrostatic damage). As I was saying, the first time
I took it apart to clean it was because I noticed the graphics card temps and
voltage curves were indicating that dust was starting to build up but more
importantly the fan speed started to deviate from the norm. I found, and I know
this is going to be hard for you to believe but I have photos, that the
graphics card was still in its original plastic shrink wrapping. The shrink
wrapping had started to warp and deform from the high temps and a portion of it
had gotten sucked in to the fan. As it was getting buffeted about by the air
flow, it was intermittingly hitting the fan blade which was why the fan speed
curve had developed the saw tooth pattern over the previous 24 hours. It is a
good thing that I monitor such things because I immediately knew something was
wrong, shut it down and took it apart during the middle of my work day. I have
no idea how anyone could even install a graphics card before removing the shrink
wrapping. It is so noticeable that no one and I mean no one could miss it. It almost
has to be done on purpose to be done at all.

I am not upset by any means because it is really just pitiful when you
think about it. It is like buying an electronic product which comes with AA batteries
but has the plastic insert installed to prevent the batteries from making a
complete connection during shipping. Obviously, anyone would figure out, even
if they did not read the instructions and did not speak or read English, that
the tab has to be removed or it will not operate. Part of the plastic had even been
damaged when they were inserting it into the PCIe slot which they had to force
because of the plastic still being attached. I am here to tell you that this is
a true story and did happen. Let me know if you would like and I’ll send you
the pictures.

Sorry for the long message. I look forward to hearing from you
concerning whether or not to update the graphics driver.

Thanks,

Joel Smith

my Inspiron 530 has done well but every so often it wont start up but when it does a start up repare fixes it.

what i meen by wont start up can be turning on then on continually with no power to the usb devises but the disk drive works,

starts up three times and one the third time beeps once (like it always has does when starting normaly) but does not continue with the stat up even thow the usb keybord and mouse have power,

infact it can be anything inbetwean (starts and stops any unspesifide nuber of times). once in awile it will not turn of but beep twice continualy (but not often).

when it showes anything on the screan such as the dell logo it will continue to start propaly and will ask to run a start up repare.

the problem started soon after i got the pc but it was almost unnotisable as it would start up fine the second time but it has got stedaly worse and more frequent but it would always eventualy work and a start up repare world fix it. just resently it is continuous  with a start up repare being unsucsesful so i am looking for a more permanent solotion, when befor it would eventualy start up propaly even if it requierd 60 or more attempts.

wnen i did get it to start up propaly i reinstaled the BIOS and the wialess netork driver as it was not working but evrything elce worked. now i have moved it so i can plug a net work cable into it it to do the online diognostics but it wont start.

pleas can anyone help me fix my (mostly) working computer.

Hey Everyone,

A couple hours ago I updated my BIOS from A13 to A14. The firmware update took successfully and everything was fine, I THOUGHT.

Now, every single time (not exaggerating) that I restart my computer the Dell Circular logo pops up for maybe half a sec, and screen goes blank. Lights on laptop do it's thing, I hear the dvd-rom set itself like usual but like I said, no loading ring under the Dell logo appears, the screen just goes blank. All I have to do each time is simply push the power button till computer turns off, and turn it on again. The second time around it works completely normal and loads into Windows.

This happens every time I do a restart from windows, a restart from BIOS settings, or if I turn the computer on after it's been off for a couple minutes. The Dell circular logo appears for maybe half a sec, than screen goes blank, I wait forever and it does nothing but all I have to do each time is push the power button, let pc turn off, and push power button again and it works until the next system restart and it does it all over again.

Won't be too much of a problem but it's aggravating that every time I restart the computer I just know i'm going to have to wait for the blank screen and push the power button to turn it off and back on.

*******

All drivers were fully updated before I performed the BIOS firmware update from A13 to A14. Update took successfully.

I unplugged laptop, and took out battery for a little while to clear my RAM, but that did not fix the problem.

I always loaded BIOS setting defaults, still have the problem.

I have no CD/DVD in the ROM, nor do I have any USB devices, memory cards, or blue tooth device hooked to the computer.

HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM AFTER UPDATING THEIR BIOS RECENTLY?

Hi,

I have uploaded a new BIOS 2.2.3, now can not detect the hard drives. How to restore an old version of BIOS. How disable Signed BIOS Update.

My M5030 has the 7 beep problem.

When are DELL going to do something about this.

Dont they realise that people need their laptops and it is impossible to get e new motherboard with out paying the price of a new laptop.

This problem needs to be addressed DELL are loosing their reputation fast.

Technical support is non exsistent you can never get them.

My laptop is just 2 years old and I am lost without it as I am a pensioner and cannot afford to buy another.

Please DELL look after your customers.
