AMD graphic driver problem

$

Hi,

I purchased a new laptop not to long ago, DELL 15r 5537, i7-45000u, 1.8gh-3.0 turbo AMD radeon 8850m.

Now a problem had consisted when playing games of a dramatic fps drop while playing on full screen. Some games ran fine, games that had a fps drop had options to window the game as a tab that dropped that had increased the fps.

So after looking over online for solutions I had installed the updated AMD Driver for the laptop, the driver had a huge problem with the laptop although it allowed games to run perfectly It had a few problems. When closing the screen and re-opening it, it had not allowed the screen to wake up yet the laptop was still running. I had gotten to a point were It had not even let the login screen load, I then had to reboot the laptop.

Now I un-istalled amd catalyst manager and the games still don't work, games like skyrim on steam does not allow me select the option of running my graphic through AMD and only intel graphics.

Other forums posts are very vague on how to fix this selected issue, the posts had been much older stated around 2013 and so on.

Thank you.

Touchscreen for Windows 7 on Dell XPS 12

Hello, I own a Dell XPS 12 Convertible and my school has to configure it. It was configured to Windows 7 as my school's software only could run in Windows 7. After configuration, the touchscreen doesn't work. When my finger touched the screen the cursor is at the other side. LOL. Can Dell please figure this problem out and create a driver for touchscreen on Windows 7? Really want to use the touchscreen because its so awesome. :(

xps l702x, is it dead?

My xps l702x has started cutting out completely when the graphics card is used, its a gt 555m.

Its not overheating and has clean thermal applied, when it cuts out the whole laptop will turn off almost immediately, sometimes just the screen then a few seconds later the rest of the system.

Ive ran the dell system diagnostics but as soon as it gets to testing the card, system will cut out.

So is my card dead? im also on my second battery, which needs to be replaced, could this be attributed?

Inspiron 17R 5737 does not wake from stand by

I recently bought an Inspiron 17R 5737. I updated directly to windows 8.1. The issue I immediately noticed is that when my laptop goes to sleep mode (either by exceeding some idle time or by closing the lid) there is no way to wake it up. Only after long press of the power button the computer turns off in order to turn in on again.


Any suggestions?

The nvidia nvs 160m gets up to 100c when running which is way to hot. I noticed that thermal pads are used so I would have to buy new ones. What mm thickness are they? 1mm or 1.5mm.

will a desktop rescue disk work for a laptop?

I'm running windows 7 on both. I have a dell insperion that will not boot - it says that the bootmgr is missing. I have heard (read) that a rescue disk from any windows 7 will work.

So I've made a rescue disk from my emachines desktop, and it has bootmgr on it. I've made it as far as System Recovery Options, but don't know where to go from there. The functions that work ask for either an image or a driver, and I don't know which function to use, which file or where to look.

My options are:
c: OS
d: recovery
m: dellutility
n: recovery
x:boot
z: repair disc

Thanks in Advance,
Jamie

If left unattended or not used for a period of several hours my Dell Inspiron N5050 automatically hibernates. How can I disable this function so the laptop remains on until I elect to hibernate or shut down ?, Additionally I receive a pop-up message about the screen resolution of my attached Dell LED monitor as being too low and urges me to upgrade the resolution to 1080. How do I upgrade?

Memory RAM keeps increasing while playing games?

Hello,

I have noticed something while I am playing a game.

First, I played the game "Garbage Truck Simulator 2011" for about 30 minutes, when I look in the Task Manager at the Memory Usage for that game it shows "1,000 MB" and it kept increasing untill it reached "2,300 MB" and then the game crashed telling me "Too many heed sections"

I wonder is that a game related issue? I am running Windows 8.1

I also run the game under 1366 X 768 resolution which is the same as my recommended desktop resolution.

My system is Inspiron 15z 5523 8GB RAM DDR3 i7-3537U CPU

Driver update needed after 8.1 Update?

Installed Windows 8.1 Update on my XPS 12 (9Q33) when it was released on Tuesday and I've noticed that the Synaptics touchpad enhancements fail to work (system tray icon vanishes, multifinger gestures don't work, cursor speed is slow, etc) upon resuming from sleep, but resuming from hibernate is fine.  Don't know if this is a driver issue or a Microsoft issue.  Currently running the 17.0.15.3 touchpad driver released on January 29 2014 and updated the system BIOS to A05 following install of the 8.1 Update on Tuesday.
