I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5547 and I am having problems with it. I have the game Saints Row the third and it works great. When I download another game, it locks up. It freezes and produces a low buzzing noise. It only works when it is the only game. I deleted Saints Row and just forgot about it but when I had downloaded a gam e then another one, I experienced the same symptoms as I did with sr3. Should I get it fixed or should I get it replaced? Please comment if you have a solution for my problem

-Thanks

How to disable automatically changing brightness

Hello,
guys i have a new dell inspiron 15 3542 and i am having a very weird problem.

The brightness of the display automatically changes. like for example i am working in a browser the display is quite bright but as soon as i switch to the desktop, which has a black dell wallpaper, the brightness automatically starts to get dim. I already disabled the Intel feature "display power saving technology", and still getting little changes in color when my laptop is unplugged.

Is there something else to disable?


Latitude E6410 Fingerprint Reader not working

Unable to get the fingerprint reader working. This device used to work just a few weeks ago but I was forced to reinstall Windows (7, 64-bit) and I can't get it up again. Thought I installed all software from Dell related to this computer but apparently not. No issues listed in the Device Manager. Control Vault listed as installed in Device Manger (see screenshot below). Connection Manager and Security Manager installed, though the System Manager installer keeps saying that a newer version is already installed so this one cannot be. I don't see System Manager in the Start menu but do see the other two unless it's not labeled that but just Dell ControlPoint, then I do have that. Not sure what else to do. Any ideas?

Inspiron 11 is crashing and have to restore or refresh

$

I have a new Inspiron 11 that keeps crashing. I have had to refresh or completely several times. Dell software keeps failing. I do not know if it's the reinstall order of installation or what. Dell Backup seems to kill File History. Once the programs would not launch, once ANY program failed to launch, once the WiFI went out and absolutely nothing I or the TWC tech could not fix, several times the context menu of Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) was corrupted and it would not launch, and more. It does not give you time to launch F8 (the instructions with the restore USB storage device say F12 but that does not work) so you have reboot many times to get the F8 menu and it doesn't recognize the restore device. The graphics do not support the minimum required for touchscreen devices so the edges and borders do not display correctly. The touchpad software from ST is outdated but no update offered.and also the Realtec and Intel drivers are outdated. The touchpad goes wild with the cursor hover opening all kinds of menus and I have changed the settings many, many times and rebooted over and over. I hope you can get the updates updated for those us who need them. Some of the manufacturer sites say to contact you for the "custom" updates but they are not offered.

Why are the buttons on my touchpad so loud??? I turned off the tapping because it was way too sensitive and now I use the touchpad buttons much more often. I had planned to use this laptop at work but it would be way too distracting to others. Why have a quiet keyboard if you are gong to have a loud touchpad?

Inspiron 15 shuts off on battery

Yes,  I have a 15"  Inspiron still under warranty and less than a year old.  It runs fine on AC if you unplug it, the computer just turns off.  It does not shut down it just goes down.  The battery says it if full or at least 80% but still goes dead.  

Any ideas if it a battery or power circuit issue?

Thanks
