Dell xps 8300 drivers drivers#
The firmware should be solid by now, and maybe Microsoft has the WHQL drivers ready to download.
I'll contact Amazon about a refund.Īt least my old Renesas cards work (and don't die after 1 hour). Windows boots ok the next time, but it's still not appearing in Device Manager or working. Installing into a different slot again results in a BSOD (Stop Code: MACHINE CHECK EXCEPTION) on initial boot. EDIT - Troublshooting: - Re-seating card did not help. But they were never this much trouble to get initially working ( and none of them ever died on me ). I was bad-mouthing Renesas cards (with all the drivers, firmwares, and what not). I guess I will troubleshoot it later, but I think it might be going back to Amazon for a refund. Well, the card is dead now and not appearing in Device Manager at all. To compare with the Renesas-card in the other machine (using the same Seagate external USB-3 HDD on both). A few days later, I booted-up the machine to do a Crystal DiskMark on it. I tested it with a 8gb flash drive and then shut down the machine.

Anyway, after power cycling, the machine booted fine and I could see the Fresco USB 3.0 card in Device Manager (with the driver already loaded).

IOW, you may be wasting your money, depending on what software you. I have a 4-year-old Dell XPS 8300 desktop with a 450 power supply. Strangely, the Vostro-460 did a 'sad-face BSOD' on the first boot. I installed it and hooked up the internal (SATA) power. It's tiny-green-led lights to indicate that part is working. Well, I ordered an Inatech USB-3.0 4-port PCIe card (KTU3FR-4P). If so, I noticed it did have ONE 6-pin PCIe power, so I guess you've proven that it's OK to use it for extended periods (ie years). Are you doing all that on the original power-supply? Does yours still have the stock 350watt Dell power-supply? It still has it's original video card the HD-5770. It had an i7-2600, 16 GB of RAM (the RAM for it is relatively pricey nowadays).
