I just got a Dell M4400 with the FX 1700M card on Vista x64. It crash to desktop when I try to insert a view when in 2D.
Any experience with this setup? Error is systematic and return that Nvidia must close SolidWorks 2009 sp2.1 (error 13 from Nvidia)
After verification of the application using OpenGL I always freezes Solidcam a program must be forcibly terminated.
Using the latest drivers from Dell recommended for SolidWorks
My system keeps crashing when I use solidworks.
Screen blacks out for a few secs and I get a message concerning graphics driver not responding nvlddmkm.sy_ etc.
I am running Vista 64 Business with Duo 2.54GHz, 4G RAM and off course the FX770M which was one of the main reasons I bought this machine.
I tried Solidworks 2009 SP0 and 2008 SP3.1, all the drivers I could get from Resource CD and Dell Site [anyways the same] and finally reformatted, did a clean Vista install with only chipset, card and ricoh drivers.
I will try XP Pro but I am losing my faith and my cool .....
I've a wee problem here and I'm not sure if there's anything else that I can do with it. It's a Vostro 1700 and it passes POST fine.
Vista starts loading as evidenced by the scrolling bar, but then instead of going to a logon screen,
I just get a black screen with a moveable mouse pointer, nothing else. Hard disk activity comes to a halt.
I'm running a unibody MBP using bootcamp for Vista 32bit, when using Firefox, it crash/hard lock the laptop every so often couple times a week! I'm wondering what's wrong?? is it a known issue?? it doesn't happen w/ IE7. and Firefox is up to date.

I'm a web developer, so I need "space" on the screen for running programs as Eclipse, etc... However I'm a bit worried for if the fonts (reading text, typing code...) are very small.
I read that the Vista DPI scaling engine is really good and can solve this issue.
Could anyone attach some screen captures with 96 dpi (default) and 120 dpi, using Vista DPI scaling?
I selected my language and the hard-drive then I click install then an eternity later right at the end of the uncompressing file it says
:Installation has been canceled>Windows could not instal in the selected language.
Where did I go wrong ? Do i need some kind of driver for the x25-m or could it really be the language or ..
I am not sure if I am the only one who had problems with the XPS 1640 so far. So I would like to hear your Dell Stories as well!
Uhm it all started with me unpacking the Notebook and noticing a french manual instead of a German one..
that wasnt too bad but once I noticed that the right speaker was not sounding too well (it sounded pretty messed up especially once I turned the notebook a little up)
am i able to upgrade my ram to 4gb?
i currently have 2gb of ram
t7500@2.20ghz-219ghz
i have no real idea of what this means
i went to the extent of buying a new fan (tested), and a new motherboard for my dell vostro 1700. and during boot the fan doesnt turn on.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got my new Vostro 1700 with the WUXGA panel, and something just looks.... well, I don't know how to explain it. The left edge of the screen, about an inch in or so, just looks... a little... I guess washed out might be the proper term. The colors don't look as bright, and I feel as though I can almost... see the pixels refreshing or something...
Is this a problem, or a known issue, or something I should be concerned about?
My Vostro 1700 just shut off last night and it seems dead to me, just checking that there is nothing else I can try to try and revive it.
basically all that happens now is the power light flickers for a few seconds and then the battery indicator and then it just goes off. The hard drives don't spin up and the screen doesn't come on......

View 14 Replies View Relatedi need to upgrade my processor (T5600 at 1,6ghz) and i read here than the ideal processor is T9300, but is lot more expensive than T9400 or T9500.
I some forum speak about this processors aren`t compatible with Santa Rosa chipset...
what about Bus speed (800 vs 1066mhz) i'm confused about that.
I'm in Chile and here is really expenside this processor (T9300 U$500). Newegg don't sell to international consumers...

Anyone up and running without any problems? I installed W7 (64bit) on my 1700 and I have 1 device it can't find. (Base System Device).

I have a Vostro 1700 laptop.
I'm just wondering whether there is a way to attach two external monitors to the laptop, since there is only one VGA port.
First, for any Vostro 1700 owners: anyone done a dual-250GB config either factory or upgrade?
Second, how far can I take my non-SATA 9300? I've been reading some of the parts-swap threads and getting some ideas, as shown in my sig. What's the top CPU I can drop in, and was there a 9300/XPSGen2-compatible (well, retrofittable, anyway) version of a GeForce Go 7800GTX? Also, anyone using Sound Blaster Audigy Software Edition on one of these big beasts?
-What is the maximum CPU available?
A: These laptops support Penryn which means that the Core 2 Duo T9300 and even the Core 2 Extreme will fit in this machine, although the latter is not available from Dell as an option when purchasing these laptops.
-What is the maximum amount of RAM supported?
A: 4GB, but Vista 32bit only recognizes 3.581GB. To take advantage of the full 4GB, you need to upgrade to a 64bit OS.
-What is the best video card available?
A: The 8600MGT is the best one available from Dell so far.
-Can I upgrade the video card?
A: As of right now the 8600MGT is the best video card available for these machines, although if you have the 8400MGS you can upgrade to the 8600MGT. If you have the Intel graphics unfortulately you cannot upgrade them.
-Do these laptops have a DVI port?
A: Unfortunately they do not have DVI ports.
-Can these laptops be ordered with Windows XP?
A: The Vostro 1700 can be ordered with XP but unfortunately the 1720 cannot. Dell will stop selling Genuine Windows XP on June 18th.
-What is the best hard drive available?
A: 320GB is the biggest you can go atleast if you order it from dell.com I'm sure that websites such as NewEgg have better deals on bigger drives.
-Is Blu-Ray available on these laptops?
A: No, at least not from Dell.
-How do these laptops do when it comes to gaming?
A: I can play Crysis on near-max settings in DX9 mode. DX10 mode is playable but the settings have to be pretty low. Games like Gears of War and Bioshock can play perfectly on DX10 Mode and X-Plane 9 can play fantastic with everything topped out.
-What is the best screen available for these laptops?
A: WUXGA with TrueLife
-What is the best warranty available for these laptops?
A: 3 Year ProSupport for End Users and 3 year NBD On-site service
-Would I recommend purchasing one of these laptops?
A: Definitely because I think you get a lot of computer for the money.
My friend bought a Vostro 1700 a few years ago and now i own it, but in the last 6 month or so the temps are going through the roof, i switch it on and it starts off at about 72 degrees then just goes up to about 86 and stays there, i cleaned the fan, the vents and even put a new blob of thermal paste on the cpu but it still does the same. I just did the Dell PC Diagnostic test and it says there are no hardware problems at all..
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a 5 year old vostro 1700 and happy with it because it's been good to me ever since , but yesterday, when i tried opening it, yes it's powering on but it won't boot, nothing on the screen, I've tried interchanging memory cards and hard drives and it won't open at all.i'm thinking if the motherboard is the main problem or the processor itself. but i'm not really sure about it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Vostro 1700 that ran fine with Adobe CS2 then I upgraded to CS4...
now xp takes ages to boot up and load applications - I even tried a fresh format and upgrading ram to 3GB.. -
Currently I am considering upgrading my processor from a T7250 to a T9300(or T9900) - Would upgrading the processor solve my problem and make my computer run super fast? or do I need to get a new laptop?
I've installed Windows 7 on my 1700, and it's all installed fine. I have the latest video drivers from nVidia, and all the others from Dell.
The only thing that I'm not sure about is that under Device Manager for the actual monitor (on the laptop) it just shows as generic PnP monitor. Should it not have a specific drivers for best results?
I want to upgrade the DELL vostro 1700 video card (8600M GT). I was thinking for a GeForce Go 7950 GTX (possibly SLI) or a 8800 GTX (again, possibly SLI). Perhaps evena Quadro FX 3500M could be suitable (if there are modifications of drivers in order to play with games).
View 15 Replies View RelatedI have two seperate questions to ask, so will post them seperately.
I have a Vostro 1700 with a 250gb drive in it. When I bought it I had a problem with the laptop and managed to get a hard drive caddy free from Dell, so just need the drive. I know it needs to be a SATA 2.5 drive, but will any drive fit, or do I need to go for any specific ones? Is the Vostro SataII?
I've followed the instructions for the system restore / format HD, but when I press F8, I do not get the option to restore etc...its just takes me back 'home' to the start up page.
I have all my reinstallation disks from purchase - is there any other method I can use? I need to reformat and restore ....
