Well, in case someone should find this thread on google or something it appears the Radeon 5xxx series have compatibility issues with Dells with BIOS 1.0 versions. So, if youre one of the few users still using a dell computer and have a BIOS version of 1.0.xx and have this happening, this is...

Ok, thanks for your help. I'm going to go ahead and submit an RMA to outletpc's site and see if I can get a replacement.

Yeah I wasn't thinking that either. That was the main reason I went with it because of all the sites that reported its low power usage. So just to confirm, even though the card performs well in games, because of that boot problem it may be defective and cause problems for me down the line? I'd...

I guess it may be defective. My friend ordered the exact card from the same retailer, and his is working fine. We both have Dell computers, his is a model dimension c521 and mine a inspiron 531s. He isn't getting the abnormally long delays before POST. My only question is would this card that...

I have, it was a radeon 4350. The fan started to burn out on me so I bought the 5570 because it was a decent upgrade as well. The 4350 didn't have the boot up problems. Would removing the battery on the motherboard to reset the bios have an effect?

Well, thanks a lot for that advice. I was going to RMA my RAM because I thought it was that. When I took the 5570 out, and attempted to turn it on it booted up instantly, no problems. I put it back in, and there was the 40 second before POST again. So, it has to be the card. My BIOS is really...

Hello, I'm currently having a problem with my computer. Dell Inspiron 531s Windows Vista Home Basic 32-Bit Sempron 3600+ 2 GB A-DATA 6400 ram Radeon HD 5570 Low-profile The problems started when I installed the 5570 GPU and switched out the old 2x512mb ram sticks that came with the...

8500gt easily. Even the 8400gs is better than the 2400 pro. For gaming at least. Should be the same for video playback.

I'm actually planning on getting the 8400gs, but I'm looking at MSI's 8400gs, which is 12 bucks cheaper and the same thing really.

How much do you want for this card?

So you didn't have to install any additional drivers to the already installed 163 ones for your onboard 6150?

I asked this myself, and one of the other members told me that yes, it would. It would work, if you have no need for hdmi; since it would block off the hdmi port. As for the 8500GT vs 7600GS low-profile, on most benchmarks the 7600gs outperforms the 8500gt , but only by a little bit. They're...

I have a Inspiron 531s, which is the basically the exact build as the Slimines. I ask, because right now obviously games (CNC3 and a few older games) don't run well on the onboard 6150se graphics it came with. I noticed that my drivers weren't updated to the latest on nvidia's website since the...

I'm also interested in this. Have you upgraded the video/directx drivers? And actually, would upgrading the drivers from nvidia's websites for any onboard graphics even do anything? Example... these are the latest, would downloading and installing those show any improvement for the onboard...

How does this card compare with the 7300GS/8400GS? For games 2006 and older of course; maybe a couple new ones on low/medium.
