Dell Precision 5510 Owner's Lounge

5510 does not support ECC RAM. This was confirmed by Dell-Mano_G (Precision product manager), and also someone tried it and it didn't work, the machine would not boot up with ECC RAM installed.

 

Yeah I've had the same issue with USB-C to GigE ethernet adapters. Win 7 as well, cant find anything the get it working properly.

 

Hi there.

I have the same problem with 2 computers at my work. I have the xeon versions on those. I got it to work with win 10 when I removed the M2 SSD and only used it with the 2.5 Samsung SSD 850 EVO that we also bought for it, needed the speed, it came with sata 512 GB disks. Now it works fine with Raid On also, otherwise you cant see it in bios. Now it seems to work better, we tested for some days and it seems to be stable now.

Sorry for bad spelling

O.K. I could share my stupid 950 PRO experience.

So, I got my 5510 with the standard HDD build this afternoon and tried to install the 950 pro into it. I did everything but still could not find my ssd windows 7. I was so desperate until I found I even could not find it in Bios. So I open the bottom and reinstall the SSD into the slot. This time I think I got the right angle and totally no golden finger could be seen on the SSD after inserting it into the slot. So that was a physically incorrect installation.

Hopefully nobody will do that again.

 

So I went through all of my power options and the only place I found "hibernation" i turned it off. Even though it had nothing to do with "when lid i closed", anything about sleep or whatever, my 5510 now wakes up very fast.

 

Just spent the weekend playing with my new toy (5510, 4k, Xeon). Installed the 512 950 Pro, and 32 gigs of Crucial ram. Everythings working flawlessly so far.

Used ACHI mode, left UEFI and secure boot on, loaded windows from the WIndows Media Creation Tool on a USB stick, rebooted. It asked what drive I wanted to install windows on and it found/displayed the new drive just fine.
After installing all the drivers, updating to the latest NVIDIA driver (961), installed the samsung driver, samsung magician and corrected the lack of over provisioning.
Installed synaptics 19.0.19.1 drivers, disabled the I2C HID device driver to get rid of the driver layer causing the movement lag and get an awesome gesture sweet (1-finger scrolling!).

System is running amazing so far. Getting the promised 2500 speed out of the SSD.

I'm wondering if I even need this 5 gig paging file it created with 32 gigs of ram.

 

So I got used the samsung migration software to clone the windows 7 to the 950 pro, however, I could not get it to boot from 950 pro. Even though I could see it in bios. Anything I missed?

 

Don't delete the paging file. I had the same thought as you, as I've also got 32 gigs. Read several places NOT to remove the paging file, so I re-enabled it

I'm waiting for the 1 TB 950 Pro, but I'm unsure what backup software to use. Maybe I should just buy a M.2 conveter - and clone the damn drives

do you recall where this was? the only place i see Hibernate options are in the lid-close/power-button/sleep-button screen and then under advanced-options/sleep/hibernate-after

 

Have you tried powercfg -h off in a command prompt?
