Once it starts running windows and reboots is it ok after that or does it repeat? Also is the computer standing up or laying on it's side?

It always repeats the Restart during Boot up.
Either on the side or upward.

Tried in both T5500, so that is why I suspect the 2nd CPU assy with fan. As the symptoms are the same!

CPU's rarely go bad. Unplug the fan and see what happens.

Hello all, I used to have precision t3610 and I loved it, then I bought t 5810 and it is giving me all sorts of problems:
- takes loong time to boot
- finder takes very long to open a folder and show the content
- response to selecting and opening apps

my specs are:
- 128 GB RAM
- Intel CPU E5-2650 v4 @2.20GHz

Any advice on how to make it act normally?

All the best

for boot times I would have the boot drive first and disable other boot sources till you are ready to reinstall your OS and then change boot order when needed. My T3600 does take longer to boot but I don't do it that often. I'd also disconnect any USB external HDDs as well my IOSAFE drive being plugged in would make linux take a longer time to boot up

I have joined!

T3610, all stock minus the now SSD boot and previous owner snuck in a RX570. Looking at cost/performance for processor upgrade and doing some ram tests to see if I can get away with what I have instead of needing to buy more.

 

[remixedcat]

What cpu??

 

[Toothless]

What cpu??

1620v2. Going to change it out.

If you haven't already, you can go to Dell's website and download the service manual for your machine.

Already spent hours researching it. Multiple documents and stuff from people owning them. Still trying to decide which CPU to pick between price and performance.

2690 v2! I have the v1 and it's been rely good

Not for my application. Need core clocks above core counts so I'm either going with a 1660v2 or 2667wv2. I already had a 2x2680v2 server years ago so I know what the performance is on the bigger chips.

I also have a 1650 swapped in for the time being since it was sitting in my x79 Dark.

 

[remixedcat]

oh.

 

[Toothless]

Was searching for a 32GB kit or matching 16GB kit, ended up with a 64GB registered ECC kit for $20, so that's installed.

1650v2 came in today so that'll go in after work. Don't need more than six cores and was looking at the higher base clock since most likely this will run with turbo off to save power. 1650v1 has a 20-30w difference between 3.2 and 3.5, so if I can get that 3.5 at the same 60-80w on 22nm over 32nm I'll be happy. Maybe some power tuning I can have turbo on with lower power, who knows.

That system can take the 2667V2 and it's the best bang-for-buck value CPU for X79, should you decide you want an 8core.

 

[uco73]

That system can take the 2667V2

Better choice is E5-2697V2 in my opinion.

Considered that but it was 3-4x the price.

Not as high of clocks. Sure more cores but that doesn't help my use case.

EDIT: Finally got the 1650v2 in, remounted the rear fan so side panel can go on. So far:
Less power for same clocks, can actually leave turbo on this time.
10-20c cooler on package.

Now to leave this little guy to do it's thing.

 

[lexluthermiester]

How? If you want lots of slower cores, sure, but if you want a balance of cores vs clock speed, nothing beats the 2667v2 on x79.

Fair enough.

I may have missed this somewhere, but what is it doing for you?

OK! Sorry for my words. My bad.

 

[GarageMonster]

Hey Lexluther, glad to see you back. I've been having some problems. my T-7500 report that the drive temp probe is not installed and it won't update the OS or install folding@home. The other T-5500 I have won't POST and the 2 3 4 lights flash and the beeps are said to be reserved in the service manual. Any ideas on these two problems? Once again, glad to see you back.

I may have missed this somewhere, but what is it doing for you?

I have a super red necked security camera system using two webcams looking out my front window over the car and stairs. These streams are recorded to a local disk and copied over network to my server for backup.

On top of going to the server, I have an old Samsung tablet at my desk with spacedesk on it so I can view the cameras while running the workstation headless for less cables, and monitor temps, power, etc. I ALSO can remote desktop in to view on my phone from anywhere, which I do for my server, main desktop, test bench, etc.

I have issues and I know this.

 

[lexluthermiester]

I have issues and I know this.

Why? Seems perfectly reasonable to me. And yeah, that 6 core is more than you need. The 12 or 8 core @uco73 and I suggested would have been way overkill. Heck, the quad core you started out with would have been solid for that purpose.

@uco73
I meant no offense of course. Hope none was taken.

It was running a 4770 before and I wanted a little more headroom than what that had. Sits around 30-50% usage depending on time of day

Are you sure? The i7 4770 was not x79/socket 2011...
