Please help...NO SOUND PCI Serial Port Missing After Win 10 upgrade from Win 7
I am trying to fix young grandson's computer. He bought a refurbished Dell Optiplex 760 with Win7. He did not have any sound speaker installed so do not know if he had sound then. His mother upgraded from win7 to win10. Later when she plugged in a speaker there was no sound. The Device Manager shows yellow thingy indicating PCI serial port. I assume this means it is missing that driver.
I have been going in circles trying to find this PCI driver. Dell's site does not have this driver for win10. I did find 1 or 2 sites that I THINK had it, but was unable to open. All kinds of red tape and wanting me to pay for it etc. One had a .rar file extension that would not open no mater what I tried. I thought winzip could do it... but no.
I have tried unsuccessfully for several hours! Can anyone provide a driver download or at least a link to exact link where I won't get caught in a crazy maze to open it? I appreciate any help you can give.

Optiplex 3040 SFF USB and HDMI problems - can anybody confirm these?
Hi, I bought an optiplex 3040 Small form factor machine running win7 initially but I restored windows 10 on it. i've had it only 2 days now, but I have detected two problems alarming - I'm trying to find information on whether they are common problems with this model or I have a faulty unit:
1) I have a USB2.0 3.5" HDD dock (with its own power supply) that when connected on any USB port and whaving any HD docked, after a couple minutes will start disconnecting and reconnecting in rapid succession. On other computers the dock is running rock solid stable. I'd worry that it might be my particular 3040, but I've read that Windows 8.1/10 has this issue. The event viewer doesn't show anything abnormal, other than a warning with ID 51: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DRx during a paging operation.
Anybody who could comment on that?
2) I realized that if I try re-connecting the HDMI plug while the machine is on (eg disconnect it and then reconnect it), it will cause the system to instantly reboot - this is reproducible inside windows, inside the bios or while memtest86 is running (booting from a USB thumb). I'm driving a VGA monitor with a small belkin VGA-to-HDMI adapter, and the problem will appear even if the VGA cable is not connected at the other end of the adapter.
My guess is that the HDMI plug when inserted short-circuits the machine. While this is not a huge problem (I could make sure to shutdown the computer before unplugin/plugging in a monitor) it makes me wonder if my machine is faulty and I should have it replaced/fixed, or if this is a fault with all optiplex 3040 SFF units.
Your personal experience and feedback regarding these issues would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Sustainable Desktop
Hello,
I am a dutch student who is researching how we can achieve a more sustainable school. I would like to know which computer is the most sustainable. We now have the Dell Optiplex 3010 and the Dell Optiplex 3020. Which one is more sustainable or would it be better if we would use another type of desktop?
Kind regards,

Error: 0xc00000e9
I have a Dell Inspiron 580 desktop. Unfortunately I upgraded to Windows 10 and it's been messed up since then but I was unable to go back to Windows 7. Now this a.m. when I turned on the computer I got a blue screen - at the top it says:
\Windows/system32/config system
Error: 0xc00000e9
Says computer need to be repaired, hit enter or F8 for startup instructions.
When I do that nothing happens - it just goes back to the blue screen. Is this computer done or what? Any advice welcomed. Thanks!

Dell Optiplex 780 freezes on Windows 7
Hello,
I've been experiencing a very frustrating problem on my PC. Around 2 minutes after turning it on and entering the OS the screen freezes and there's nothing to do but force the PC to turn off pushing the power button.
I've updated the drivers, checked all the conections and nothing. It also seems that it happens more often whenever I connect the Ethernet cable before turning it (the PC) on. I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem but I need to fix it ASAP since it is the computer I work with.
Here's a couple of screenshots of the PC characteristics (I hope you don't mind it is in Spanish):

Dell Inspiron 570 - Ethernet Card Issues
I have been up for 14 hours working on this issue, and I am almost to the point of tears now.
I reset my Dell Inspiron 570 to Factory Settings, and the Ethernet controller needed a driver, so I installed the proper driver & chipset, and tried over, and over, and over. Nothing worked, the card is enabled in the Bios, I have tried over 10 different drivers, I have tried everything I can think of.

WDS on Windows Server 2012 R2 has been working fine for me until now. We recently received a bunch of Dell Optiplex 7040 MT and we have been unable to boot from network (WDS) on it.
When I try to boot from it's Onboard NIC, after a few seconds it throws an error:

I have tried to boot in UEFI Mode too but the results are same.
Any type of help would be really appreciated.

T5500 memory options for 144GB?
I have a T5500 workstation with 2 processors and 9 memory slots including the 3 riser slots.
I want to max out the memory with a 9x16 = 144GB.
My question is the ranks that I need and if there are any restrictions.
16 GB RDIMMs are available is 1R, 2R and 4R and the T5500 can handle all of them, but I can find no information about maxing about the system memory and if is there are restriction of the number of DIMMs in each configuration.
Can all 9 be 4R or all 1R or even a mix of different ranks?

Will Intel Rapid Storage Technology work with W10
I have a Studio XPS 9100 running Windows 7, that I purchased 5 years ago (Apr 2011). I have painstakingly gone through to make sure everything is working perfectly (at this snapshot in time) and corrected the few problems I had. I think I will upgrade to W10 in June.
There is an app that was preinstalled by Dell, entitled "Intel Rapid Storage Technology". Does anyone know if this will continue to function with W10? If not, does that speed things up significantly, or is it not worth worrying about?

Power Supply swap Precision T3500 with T5xxx
Is it possible to swap out the 525W PSU in my Precision T3500 Workstation with an 875W PSU from a Precision T5xxx Workstation? If so, will I have to swap out the wiring harness as well?
If the harness has to be swapped out, do all the motherboard connectors match up with my T3500? Thank you.
