20 Most Recent Dell (2336V) Motherboard - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Hello,

can your please rephrase your question? I do not get it clearly.

Look forward to hear from you.

Take care

hi my prasad .motherboard Problems display

?? One drive does not make a raid setup; that takes a minimum of 2 drives the same size, with the second being a mirror drive. If you just have the 1 drive, then simply turn off the option in the Bios setup.

Newer Video Card require additional Power to run the GPU and Fan. A 400+ class power supply will come with additional plugs for this. You need to connect the additional power connector.

you can use any celeron or pentum III processor upto 133 MHZ FSB.

Your Dell 3000 SKU 0R8060 motherboard currently uses an "Integrated" Intel Extreme Graphics 2 video card. You can install and use any PCI graphics card listed at the link provided below;

Check warranties when choosing. The more memory the better. You'll also need to enter your bios/cmos and make a change so your MB boots to the PCI port and not the integrated Intel.

I hope you find this helpful!

You might be able to download from the manufacturer's web-site:

for the Dell Latitude D800.

I had a detailed look at the build of this PC and unfortunately , I cannot recommend any motherboard as non will fit. What Dell does is they create their own cases and motherboards to fit only that Dell product to prohibit you from doing replacements other than through Dell. Thus , they do not conform to the ATX or MINI ATX standard sizes. This makes it incredibly difficult because no major manufacturer (barring Dell) will spend that much money to develop a part that will fit only one type of PC.

Depending on what you need to upgrade I would suggest the following.

If you need a new motherboard , cpu or a PCI-E graphics card(ie , major upgrades) I would suggest you cut your losses and buy a ATX case. You will be able to transfer the Hard drives , Cd-rom , Power supply and depending on what type of motherboard you want to replace it with , the Ram. I would personally splurge on getting at lease PCI-E with ddr800 ram and a CPU socket to match a core 2 chip of your choice. But this would mean basically buying a new PC which is what I would do. It does not help you to spend a heap of money on doing a "minor" upgrade and it doesn't really extend the usable lifetime of the pc by that much. Rather save up and buy a new PC when you can afford it.

If you only need a bigger hard drive , more memory or better cpu (which I don't suppose is your situation) I would keep the current motherboard and rather just buy compatible parts for that motherboard as this will fit fine. You might still then have problems with the BIOS as I know Dell also disables some features to prevent some kinds of upgrades. So , I do not recommend this.

When you buy a new PC , make sure that the case is ATX or MINI ATX as 98% of parts will fit these cases.

Feel free to contact me if you need more advice or information.

Kind Regards

First off, stick to warranty service if you have the option.

While most cases are modular and will accept boards of many standard sizes, Dell cases are made specifically for that model of Dell and are often unusable for other size boards.

Your question doesn't make it clear if the board is too big for the case, or the case is too big for the board. If the board is too big, you need a new case. If you are looking to save money, I recommend geeks.com .

You're venturing into the realm of building an entire new computer - I hope youre ready.

Many of the components from your old dell won't work with a Core1 Duo board. Any of the expansion cards and drives probably will, but you'll need new memory, a processor, a heatsink and fan for the processor, case fans, a new case, and probably a bigger power supply.

If you aren't comfortable with thoroughly educating yourself and investing time and money into building a new computer, you're better off buying a new Dell or other premade computer. If you're brave, look at tomshardware.com for info.

Good luck!

Yes you can. If you are adding a second hard drive, don't forget that you will need to purchase an additional SATA cable.
If you are replacing your current hard drive, you shouldn't need any additional cables.
Download the hard disk drive's manufactures tools software to setup your SATA drive. Make sure the bios see's your 1TB drive listed. If it is going to run your operating system check the Boot section in your bios & make sure it is listed in the boot order.

Cheers!

try this take a old tooth brush,brush between the pins on the battery and the contact on the motherboard where the battery contacts are.I had this problem and it worked for me.
Good luck

It uses a ASUS P4P800-VM 478 Intel 865G Micro ATX Intel Motherboard. Know that you will probably have to revalidate Windows after changing motherboards because this is a major hardware change. You may have to call Microsoft. Also have some thermal grease on hand to reinstall the CPU on the motherboard.

this card is not compatable with your motehr baord but it will give you a place to start searching for one, the idea is a pci express card is not going to be compatable with the cpi port your best bet is to get a really cheap but well desinged motehrbaord for about 30 bucks or 50 bucks with pci express buss good luck with your venture.

see this site, can help you

This is because your motherboard is using ahci for it's disk drives, which is faster and better than the old style "IDE".

You have two options, either you find the drivers on the internet and create a floppy disk to load the drivers with (this will only work if you have a floppy drive, and I assume you don't). The other alternative is to go in to the bios and find the setting to switch it from AHCI to IDE, it should be under heading with the word "SATA" in it. Once you've done this the XP CD should pick up your hard-drive fine.

To get in the bios you usually press F2 or F12, as soon as you power on your PC continually press F2 until it takes you in to the bios, if it doesnt then power it down and try with F12.

remove hard drive and insert into a portable encoseure this will allow you to remove all data from drive saving time and giving you a protable storage drive to boot
total cost 30.00 and you can use the drive for backups

Same as standerds. In the internal usb conector u can find that there is one pinless & four pin for connect usb.at the pinless side after the pin u put the ground & same line on the opposite u put the red wire.

Go to dell.com, go to product support, and enter the service tag #, and you'll be able to get all the original specs on your system.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.
If I've managed to answer your question or solve a problem, please take just a moment to rate this post....thanks!

Hi,
Every PC motherboard has a battery. That battery serves two purposes: to feed the configuration memory (also called CMOS) and to feed the real time clock of the computer (the one that show the date and the time).
An indication it is time to change the motherboard battery is receiving one of the following error messages when you turn on your computer: CMOS CHECKSUM FAILURE, CMOS BATTERY STATE LOW, CMOS SYSTEM OPTIONS NOT SET and CMOS TIME AND DATE NOT SET. Another indicator of a low battery is a clock that, after being set, runs well while the computer is on, but shows the wrong time when the computer is turned on the following day (it is late).

One beep is good. Multiple beeps is not good.

Most likely you have a loose connection.
Generally if not the connection, the monitor has gone dead.
Possibly you have a defective Video Card
Unfortunately, you may have a defective System.

The first two are generally the cause of such problems.

Check all your connections in the back of the machine. A large Blue or White rectangular connector should be going to the back of the machine, these are color coded so the plug will go in, only one direction in only one port.

After making sure you are connected check your monitor power cable, assuming you get no Lights on the monitor at all.

After that: You may have to assume that either the monitor is dead, or that the video portion of the system is dead. This would require that you either replace the Video Card in the machine. If you get more then one single beep, you may have this problem

Or

This will require that you replace the System Board, if you are getting more then one Single beep you may have this problem.

Please let us know when all the connections are in order, so we can better diagnose the issue.

Good Luck
