I have an Insperion 1300 laptop.  I had to re-install the OS because of problems.  It was not a dell version of XP, just a generic.  Now I have no way to get to the internet.  All the sites I went to want me to download software to survey the laptop and then download needed drivers.  How do I get drivers to download on another pc so I can move them and install on the laptop???

Dell E7240 i7-4600u Turbo Boost does not work

$

Hi, I have strange problem with Turbo Boost on my Dell E7240 with i7-4600u processor, turbo booost sometimes doesn't work under any conditions (even, when tempereture is low, and when only one core is loaded.)

Details:

There are days, eg. yesterday, when Turbo Boost works perfectly, even for longer time and even higher temperatures. Yesterday I played DiRT 3 on Windows 8.1 for about 1 hour, my laptop was hot, but not too much (80 C), and there are about 25 fps. Then I switched to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and I perform other task, eg. compressing data to tar.gz, and I checked with i7z that frequencies was about 3,3 GHz (Turbo Boost working).

But today, I ran DiRT 3 on Windows 8.1, and only about 10 minutes there was 25 fps, but sudenly there was about only 10 fps, and my laptop wasn't hotter than yesterday. Also, when I switched to Linux, and whatever I do, maximal frequencies are 2,6 GHz. Turbo Boost doesn't work anymore, even when I swith off my laptop, and when I cool it to room temperature. 

I know that Turbo Boost is working only under few circumstances, but as I said, yesterday Turbo Booost worked for quite long, and there was no problem, and today, under the same conditions there wasn't work anymore...

Do you have some idea, what can I do?

Hard drive replacement/OS installation/no boot device found

Installed replacement hard drive in Latitude E6510.  Ordered same drive as originally installed from Dell. When I try to install OS on new drive I get the "No Boot Device Found" error.   When I enter set up the HDD and DVD drive are shown as installed.  I changed the boot sequence to have the DVD run as first boot device.   Any ideas?

Restored Inspiron 1520 Hangs During System Boot

$

Background:  Laptop has not been used regularly for quite a while.  The system booted up fine and loaded Windows Vista with no problem.  Everything seemed to be in working order.  Decided to wipe the system, load productivity applications,  and give it to my grandson who is starting college.

I depressed the F8 key during start up and entered the recovery routine.  I selected the "restore to factory settings" option.  The system indicated it was first formatting the drive and then restoring the system.  

When I restarted the computer I got to the Dell Boot Screen.  Displayed on the screen is the Dell logo, "Inspiron 1520 Series", progress bar, and "BIOS Revision A03".  The progress bar fills from left to right and restarts the process in a perpetual loop.  When I power the system off the on; the first boot cycle seems to take a lot longer for the progress to fill, but after that it loops with the progress bar filling quickly.

The system no longer responds to the F8 key being depressed during start-up.  Consequently, I can not repeat the "Restore to factory settings" process.

I have tried to boot the system several times with the same results.  When I press F12 during and get "boot options" choosing "Internal Hard Drive" or "Onboard NIC" makes no difference.  When I run the diagnostics option from the F12 screen; the system displays the heading: "Pre-boot System Assessment Build 4106" and passes all tests.

It appears to me that the recovery to factory settings routine has in some way damaged the system.  It had been working fine before the procedure and hangs during boot afterward.  I would appeciate any advise on how to get the system back into proper operating condition with the factory settings restored.

All Downloads Eventually Slow to a Stop

$

Not sure if this is the right place to post this or not, but I've run into a problem where every file I download will start normally, then slow to a stop (0 kB/s), and never start back up or continue. Depending on the internet's download speed, this makes it impossible to download files larger than 25-50 MB. This problem has persisted on four different networks and in both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, so I've determined it's neither a network nor a browser issue. It started where it would only affect about 75% of downloaded files, but now it affects every single one. Although, I can still download large amounts of data through other sources (I downloaded a 25 GB game on Steam with no problem). Any help to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
