Hi, the drivers are Intel HD Graphics 3000 and Generic display driver.
It used to work when I got the laptop with win 7, but just stopped working, I though it was a driver issue I was not able to resolve, but it a upgrade to win 8 did not fix the issue.
I'm not sure if I have the wrong drivers or if the cable or chipset has failed, its not under warranty.
I have a brand new laptop less than 30 days old. Now the beep code it gives me when it attempts to turn on is a CPU failure/processor failure. Anything that can be done?? what do i need to replace if i have to do it myself?
I haven't even had it for a whole year and it all of a sudden keeps shutting off randomly no matter what I'm doing. Everything is fully updated. It's not dust because I've blown out the vents and everything. It gets hot but it wasn't even that hot the last time it randomly shut off. This is my first dell and it was a gift. Please tell me this can be fixed. I am very disappointed and I will probably never buy dell or accept one as a gift again. This makes no sense.
So I just bought this laptop a few days ago and I am loving it, except for one GLARING issue. The touch pad is crippling this laptop, it is the most poorly executed touchpad I have ever used. I cannot believe how flaky it is. Scrolling is clunky, choppy and either too sensitive or not sensitive enough or sometimes completely unresponsive. And this may be more of a problem with WIndows 8 which I am still getting used to but strange windows are always popping up out of no where, you can't flick the pad to advance pictures or web pages like you can on a MacBook Pro and zooming in on anything is futile. It seems certain gestures and motions are not consistent between all applications or even the OS itself.
I dunno what the problem is, I have been adjusting and re-adjusting the Dell touchpad settings tirelessly to find something close that would resemble the behavior I am used to from using MacBooks but its not even close. Maybe I am expecting too much from it but I don't think there is any excuse for touchpads being this flaky in this day and age any more. I can only hope that Dell releases a update to their software to offer more features. Windows 8 being designed more for touchscreen may be the issue but you should still be able to use the touch pad in a similar fashion.
I didn't want to have to use a USB mouse but it's the only way I can use the laptop without frustration from random menus, windows and programs opening up without even trying. I have done all the Dell recommended BS about uninstall, reinstall drivers yadda yadda. It's sad that they even recommend those steps, as if that would ever resolve a issue to underdeveloped software. Some sort of calibration tool would have been nice.
Otherwise this laptop is very good and well worth what I paid for it. Just fix this horrible touchpad and its a 5 star product.

im running a dell XPS L502X with a i- 5 i have 2 graphics cards a integrated intel hd grahics and a nvida 525m 2 weeks ago i hooked up to my tv via hdmi like i normally do every thing was running fine now it freezes up with every game i play but not during normal usage ive had the laptop 2 years this is the first time its done this ive reset the os and all my drivers still have problem every "test" i can find to run says everything is fine and its not a hardware or software issue
Hello, I've had this laptop for a while now and from first day it reached high temps but I thought it was normal a lot of people seemed to be having same temperatures but now playing through older games.. and paying closer eye to the temps, I noticed that no matter what game I play the gpu and cpu temp will eventually reach 90 + degrees... and doesn't matter on what settings as well.
In comparison : Bioshock infinite on High settings reaches 90 degrees on both
League of legends at lowest settings reaches 90 degrees
Age of mythology (Very old title with very low demands) can also reach 90 degrees
So no matter what game I play as long as I play it for a while it will reach 90 degrees + The only difference is the speed it reaches those temps.
I was thinking, would it be possible that someone messed up the thermal paste and it needs re-doing?
Specs:
Intel Core I7 3630 QM
Nvidia 650M DDR5
8GB of ram
2 HDDs 1 TB each
Edit: When running : http://www.dell.com/support/Diagnostics/uk/en/ukdhs1
It keeps crashing and saying :
A problem has been detected , please try again
Edit: Temps at idle 52 - 56 degrees, room temp around 18-20 degrees
Hello,
I tried to install the Intell Rapid Start Technology Utility on my Inspiron 7220 17R SE running WIndows 7 and was told that my system did not have the minimum requirements to run this application. Yet, it is listed as "recommended".
My computer was recently reloaded with Windows 7 after an unfortunate mishap. I am updating all the drivers and software. I also notice that the Intel Rapid Storage Technology is very slow to start on startup. Is this normal? Does this have anything to do with the Difficulties I am having with the Rapid Start Technology application?
Please help.
Thanks!

Hey there, So a few months ago My laptop Stopped working, I forgot what I was doing at the time, cause it was a few months ago. I am no techie. My charger wouldn't charge it, but it was a crappy charger that was falling apart, Literally. So I don't quite know if it just needs charged. I tried several chargers from Goodwill recently and Don't know what to look for. I have a few so if you could first help me by what charger to use and how to tell if it's the right one. Then if it doesn't work, Is my computer completely dead?
The last charger i used says the following:
Input: AC120V 60Hz 6.5W
Output:DC4.5V 0.8A
Any help is much appreciated

After (1) "successfully" running the Microsoft 7 Upgrade Advisor, (2) noting that the D830 is on the Windows 7 Compatible Dell Systems list and (3) discussing the transition with Dell tech support, I installed Win 7 x64 on my Lat D830 (4 gB RAM, new 7200rpm drive). After months of struggling and lot's of shrugging from Dell, I am exhausted from fighting a system where the norm is 100% CPU usage anytime I try to accomplish anything beyond simple web browsing. Even then, if I encounter a site that invokes Flash or plays any audio/video, the system goes into hyper CPU usage and it can take 4-5 minutes for a ctl-alt-del to display the message "Failure to display security and shut down options." The machine is so pegged to the wall that a ctl-alt-del can't be serviced!!!! Frequently, it takes 3 attempts to get to task manager.
I'd like to run Task Manager for awhile and try to watch what's going on just like in the good old days with Win XP where I kept it up almost constantly. Unfortunately, taskmgr.exe process takes from 24% to 60% of the CPU while its running and simply worsens an already terrible situation. Anything can kick off the excessive CPU usage. Running Outlook 2007 concurrently any other Office products and Safari (or Chrome or IE) will send the fan buzzing as CPU pegs to 100%. Google apps add-on to Outlook, Apple sync for iPhone and searchindexer.exe (among others) take their turns at dominating the machine. Page fault #s, despite never exceeding 70% use of available memory, are horrific.
What is really irritating is that I have an identical application s/w configuration running under Vista on a truly cheap Compaq Presario 700 (1gB RAM, 5400rpmdrive); it has none of these issues.
I've run many spyware, virus, trojan apps to ensure that nothing got thru my licensed AVG software. I BELIEVE that I'm running all the appropriate Win 7 or Vista device drivers but Dell is ZERO help here. I've run /scannow, tested the new hard drive for errors, .... NADA.
I'm open to any counsel, advice, suggestions, insights. Thanks.

When I installed Windows 8.1 (from the MSDN developer site) on My Latitude E6510 it has an unknown device called Broadcom USH. A Windows 7 driver would probably work, but I don't know what that device does, so I don't know which driver to try and install. I think it's for the BCM5880 chip. What does that do?
Hi
I want to buy the inspiron 17 7000 model but there is no ssd option available from dell.
What SSD is compatible with this laptop? Can you point me to the SSD which I can place inside if I remove the hard drive? Or perhaps remove the cd tray
and place the SSD there.
There is a 15 inch model with the SDD but I want the larger screen in the 17 inch model.

I have my XPS 11 set to sleep when I close the lid and I've noticed recently that when I open the lid and it wakes up, it appears that the resolution is super-high and everything is tiny - icons, context menus, etc. The only way I've found to correct it is to launch the Intel HD Graphics UI and change the resolution from the default (2560x1440) then revert the changes. It's quickly becoming a pain to do this every time the laptop wakes up. Anyone experience the same and/or know how to fix this?

Hi,
The laptop was purchased in US but recently had to visit India and brought it with me it worked fine when it was in US it must be the vibration and it caused this
I have recently bought a inspiron 17 R ( model 5737 ). And i replaced the hdd with a solid state disk (240 Gb). I now want to replace the dvd drive with the original 1 Tb sata disk in a caddy. the ssd is working fine, but the 1tbyte disk in the caddy does not show in windows ( i'm booting from the ssd). The 1 tbyte disk in the caddy is showing in the BIOS, so the hardware seems fine.
can anyone tell me how to get this working? The bios is up to date and when i put the 1 tb disk back in the main slot it works just fine.
Thanks,
erwin
Does anyone know of a way to repair or replace this with something higher quality? I haven't had my laptop long and the chrome is flaking off and it has such a sharp edge it cut my finger nail just by brushing up against it wrong.
I love this laptop, but the chrome strip is driving me crazy...
