I see several threads looking for XPS 8500 video card upgrades that can be used with the stock 460w PSU or upgraded PSU. However, in upgrading the GPU for this machine, there are some cards that will not be compatible and will result in a black screen.

I have the Inspiron 6000 since 2005 without any problem, but it has been used sparingly by my wife from 2009 till now, that a boot problem started. After I start the laptop (with no computer password), it would try to run the BIOS (showing the big DELL with www.dell.

We just received a new Dell PowerEdge R620 II and for applicative requirements we have to disable HyperThreading on the server. As usual I disabled the Logical Processors option in BIOS but the OS (RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.8) is reporting 12 threads (CPU is an Intel E5-2630, only one installed).

I never downloaded this program (to my knowledge at least) however, the laptop recognized it as legitimate and a virus scan picked up nothing. Does anyone has any idea where this program came from?

Ran BIOS A13 Flash upgrade. Message said it was successful. Now, all I can get to after hard rebooting is either: - Black screen with Dell System OptiPlex 980 Series Bios version A13 www.dell.com - OR the first time and a couple of other times I have gotten a black screen with a wide empty
