and second is it good to play games heavy ames like (splinter cell blacklist , assasins creed 4) typ games on ultrabook after fully recharge with charger plugged in and most inportant DESKTOP mode..

Sorry for multi issues and questions .. but what is the Effect of DESKTOP mode , as i constantly use this mode with longevity mode for games and torrents.. does this is the reason of high wear level???

Dear Dell and Buddies 

I am having something different kindda issue as sometimes my laptop which is Dell Inspiron N 70 Service Tag <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy> is not getting turn ON.

If it really wants to be turn ON then anytime it will get turn ON but sometimes even if you try anything from your end but nothing happens and not even charging light appears after connecting to charger.

Anyone is having any idea because i have done everything from my end whatever i have got in google and different forums but nothing worked.

Then i went to one of the finest dell authorized repair shop and they  said that exactly i am also not understanding the problem and told me to change C Mos Battery then RAM and charging Adaptor and Charging Port and i did everything but stiil same issue persisting.

I am not even understanding which type of problem it is???

Can Anyone help me out in this case...

Drivers for Bluetooth Peripheral Device vostro 3500

On my Vostro 3500, in the Device Manager, the Bluetooth Peripheral Device status says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) There is no driver selected for the device information set or elelment. To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver." On clicking Update Driver I get the response that driver not found. Kindly advise what needs to be done.

 I don’t know if the drivers have been installed in the correct order. The driver version for this model is 6.2.1. 900. Is there any way to fix this issue without re-installing the windows OS?

Thanks and Regards

Precison M2800 Turbo Boost Not Working

Hello all,

The Turbo Boost technology on my Dell Precision M2800 doesn't seem to be working.

I can't find the driver in Device List, or in System Drivers under, though it does exist and is checked in the BIOS.

Obviously I can't find on Dell Drivers.

What do I need to do to fix this?

Dell lists this computer as a Precision M2800 (Early 2014) on the drivers site.

no internal hard disk drive

I'm trying to figure out what needs to be fixed on my Inspirion 1545 laptop. It shuts down by itself and takes a good 30 minutes to an hour to reboot. It tells me that it doesn't have internal hard disk drive and it beeps loudly repeatedly until it has a hard shut down. I took my battery out and waited a while to put it back in. That helped for about an hour until it started shutting down again. I tried doing the diagnostic test and it tells me nothing is wrong and that all the tests have passed, but then it will tell me no internal hard disk drive. What is an internal disk drive? Do I just need to buy one?

E6420 (B59F5Q1) Alert! The amount of system memory has changed

0
0

On reboot, the system throws the following messages:

Alert!  The amount of system memory has changed.

To continue press F1 key

To change setup option press F2 key

To run onboard diagnostics press F5 key

Memory has not changed, it is standard as per the original setup as delivered.

I have run full diagnostics many times, with no error shown, have interrogated the support site for directions (difficult to find) which describe the need to download some files, the location of the files and what they are is a mystery (cannot find unnamed files), as is what needs to be run (what is the process?, where is the documentation?, where are the files?, what are the files?) to remediate this error.

Please provide a remediation path and detailed validated process, thanks.

ASIO crackling/popping performance issue, and USB3 harddrive issue - possibly linked.

0
0

Hello .. I have two problems but they might be linked; possibly a USB problem:

1/  External USB3 hard drive, I start a file transfer and it works for a few seconds; then it stalls; then maybe 10 seconds later it starts again, then a few seconds later it stalls .. sometimes the file transfers, occasionally the hard drive actually disconnects and reconnects - I have lost a file due to this problem. This is on large files, small files transfer before the stall occurs. The USB lead is new and in good condition. Any ideas? 

2/ ASIO Soundcard via USB - it works but performance is not good - if I use a modern fairly intensive synth plugin I get crackling and popping - yet the task manager shows over half of the cpu & ram still available. This problem occurs with my M-Audio card, and also tested a Behringer card tonight and it does the same thing. Any ideas?

Could the two problems be linked by a common USB problem?

EDIT: I've tried both of these issues on my Dell desktop via USB3 and the problems do not happen, the hard drive works perfectly, and the soundcard works perfectly. But using my new laptop causes both problems - do I have a USB problem? I have emailed Dell support of-course.

So, USB3 hard drive plugged in directly, I start a transfer of a 800Mb file from the drive to the computer, it does about 400Mb at USB3 speed but then stops and waits for about 10 seconds, then it continues a bit and then stops again, then a little while later is continues and completes the transfer.

ADD MY FIRM TO THE LONG LIST OF EX-DELL CUSTOMERS

I was a customer of Dell customer for 14 years. On average I purchased 5 computers a year and several servers as well. I had a drive that went bad a month after the warranty expired. It took 11 days and hours of aggravation to get a $335 part! I was on the phone so long with the first tech, he started asking me personal questions like "you sound young" and "may I ask old are you"... OMG!!! How unprofessional is that!? Now after 11 days of trying to get this part, it will take another 5 business to get it.

DELL, I AM DONE!

This is what I get when I try to use the internet on my Windows 8.1 start screen through Internet Explorer.  None of my apps on the start screen work because they won't connect to the internet.  Yet I can use the internet on my desktop.  I've tried changing the proxy to automatic numerous times however it keeps changing back within seconds.  I'm beyond frustrated and just want to use my computer.  Does anyone know how to solve this issue so that I can use my internet and my start screen apps again?  I know extremely little about computers so any help would be greatly appreciated.
