Can you upload screenshots of the hardware celsius using speccy? and your hard disk using crystal disk info?
For monitoring the heat/celsius of the system, use Speccy or HWinfo:
Upload a screenshot of your hard disk using crystal disk info:
- Speccy - System Information - Free Download
- CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting
Sorry for the delay, had a friends birthday party.
I have attached 2 screenshots of my HDD's, the OS is installed on the C:\ Drive which is a 1tb drive, the other HDD is just for data storage.
Also when i ran Speccy it was running for about an hour before showing an error (apologies for not remembering). You will see what i mean in the snapshot.
The Speccy picture does not show the temperature..can you snip and upload the snip to your next post directly? (not in zip file)
Hi Koolkat,
EDIT:
Sorry i do see where the temps are shown, but as i mentioned in my other post. I get an error message part way through the scan. The error is
"CPU dll init failed (error 2)! Some information will not be displayed!"

Hey koolkat,
HWinfo reqiures an internet connection to continue the install and i can only get onto my pc through Safe mode.
To be honest i dont see how it can be a temp issue, as in the other files i sent you it shows the temps of the Disk drives. Would it be worthwhile installing a driver verifier?

Russta, you try to update your nForce. It goes back to 2009.
Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers ... search for nForce here (auto detect mechanism does it for display driver only, as I have experienced).
When done, perform disc check, too
- Reseat the sata and power.
- Run chkdsk /f/r, following the option two of the tutorial Disk Check
- Seatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate download
Burn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run.
But it would be the best if you can do a bios update.
Code:BIOS Version/Date Dell Inc. 1.4.1, 07/05/2007
Arc: No BIOS from Dell
Russta: I could NOT (get any updates from here (tried XP-64, Vista- 64, Win7-64)
Good old FTP site for XPS 710 H2C at least gives you something.
