Dell Inspiron 7520 Shuts down when computer is idle
Hello!
My Dell Inspiron 7520 shuts off himself when computer is Idle. After few hours on it shuts off, although all power options are correct and it should not turn off never.
Recently I also discovered that fan is making little bit strange noise. When fan is working hard, also the noise is louder.
Can it be something with overheating cause I am afraid that fan is not working properly? Although I am not sure why it switch off when computer is idle and not then when I am working with computer and it using lots of resources and working hard.
Also there is no any error messages when I switch computer back on or any other messages about overheating. It starts normally.
Also I can not make any diagnostics on Dell website ... I have no Idea why. Can it be something with Internet Explorer settings??? I am using IE 11, Dell system detect is installed and also I switched off Norton antivirus, but still some error and not possible to make diagnostics.
Any assistant is well appreciated.
Inspiron 15-3521 Screen stays off when you reopen the cover..
So I have it set to "Do nothing" when the screen is closed. All the machine does is turn the screen off which I know I cant override. When I reopen the cover the screen stays off completely.
Maybe there is an odd software or driver im missing? I made sure its the driver off the website and not a newer updated windows update driver for the video. Machine has been reloaded and it still does the same. If its set to goto sleep when closed the sleep light flashes but it will never wakeup.
Bios is upto date, also tried reseting to defaults.
Anybody got any ideas for me? Thanks!
SATA External 2.5" HD showing as a SCSI Mass Storage Drive
When my Seagate, 1 TB, 2.5" Laptop HD, ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB, started to give me problems in my Dell Inspiron 17R, 5721, I purchased a new one for $23.99 and replaced the old one.
I then took the old hard drive inserted it into a Sabrant, External 2.5" HD Enclosure, Model #EC-RDBL, used Paragon Partition Manager 14 to wipe the drive completely, re-partitioned and formatted the drive.
The drive works really well now as an external drive for movie and music downloads until I can transfer them and store them on my Toshiba Canvio External HD.
When I go into Device Manager and check the Seagate external drive everything shows up normally and is functioning correctly. However, when I check the drive under the "This PC" window and then check the properties of the Seagate drive, it is shows as an ASMT 2105 SCSI Disk Device.
Will this cause any problems when I use the the external drive or is it just a label problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Trouble Retrieving Data From Backup on New Laptop
I backed up data using the backup function on my old Dell N5110 laptop that came with Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 64 bit. I put the data on a WD Passport external drive. I now have a new Dell (Inspiron 15) with Windows 8.1, 64 bit. I am having problems retrieving the data using the WD Passport software, and it appears I need to use the same program I used to backup the data on the old laptop to retrieve it on the new one. Any help how to do this would be much appreciated!

Dell Inspiron 15R N5010 & Windows 10 - Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter Compatibility Issue
Hi there,I've reserved Win 10 upgrade. GetWin10 App says my Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter (Dell Wireless WLAN 1501 Half Mini-Card Driver) isn't fully compatible with Win 10 and I'll experience connectivity problems on my machine after upgrading. I can't get any drivers from Dell/Broadcom site that are compatible with Win 10 on my machine. Does it mean after upgrading to Win 10 I'll lose wireless connection on my laptop or Win10 will support my device out of the box? How to fix that issue?
Elan Touchpad Driver (ETDWare USB x-64 7.05.1_X09)
Hi,
I tried disabling my laptop touchpad mouse when I plug in my USB mouse. I selected the disable option under the touchpad properties/preferences. The icon shows the disabled sign but the touchpad mouse is still active. I am thinking of uninstalling and then re-installing the driver. I cannot find the driver online so can someone direct me on where to locate this driver or provide me with some troubleshoot options to remedy this issue.
My PC is a Dell Inspiron 15 5548 model with windows 8.1 64-bit OS.
Please advise. Thank you.
Glitchy playback on Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series

Inspiron 15 - New Install - No Networks Available - No adapters listed
Dell Inspiron 15 - 3521 (late 2012)
Windows 8
Laptop took a dive from kids playing. No physical damage on outside.
System stated "no bootable media". Hard drive placed in external drive bay on another computer and it was unreadable.
Bought new hard drive and reloaded Windows 8 from copy used to build a new computer. Everything worked fine. EXCEPT - it didn't ask wish SSID I wanted to connect to. So something was up.
At the first screen I looked at the wifi connections and it said "no network connections available". There are two available. I then plugged in a Ethernet cable.
When I looked at adapters it only has the Bluetooth adapter listed - not the Ethernet or wifi.
What gives?
Thanks!

Internal beep will not stop after screen broke on Dell Inspiron 15Z (5523)
The screen recently broke on my Dell Inspiron 15Z (5523) laptop as I dropped it and as I caught it I bent the screen right back and the screen stopped working. Since then, the laptop beeps constantly and I cannot stop it.
I found suggestions online about going into Device manager and disabling the beep but the option was not there (i followed the instructions precisely. I am very computer literate).
The laptop works perfectly fine when hooked up to a TV via HDMI so I just want to use it a media centre now but this is impossible with a constant beep.
Does anybody know of anyway I can disable the beep?
Thank you
Bug inside screen
Hello,
I bought a Inspiron 7720 in Apr 2013, Full High Definition LED display from Belgium Dell dealer.
In 2 months time a bug entered my screen. The dealer refused to offer warranty for this issue, saying I was unlucky.
Instead of warranty they offered to change the screen and charge me around EUR 300, which I refused hoping that they will solve the problem till the end of the warranty period, but that didn't happen.
Two more bugs entered the screen, and now I have 3 dead bugs inside my screen.
In case you are planning to buy a Dell laptop make sure you take this issue into account.
Fan is suffering extremely high speeds and creating excessive noise.
Hello, I'd first like to start out with a little information about the laptop. I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7537 equipped with windows 8.1. It is 11 months old. This computer is mainly used for every day browsing and Netflix, but also gets used for a variety of games, typically Terraria/ TF2/ Sims 3. Using Realtemp, I found the idle cpu temperature to be about 28-34, and while playing sims (the most demanding game I play), around 48-54.
About two months back, my computer began to make an extremely loud (jet engine!) noise upon boot up, for around 5-10 seconds, but would immediately quiet down afterwards. Honestly, this was pretty unsettling. Otherwise, the computer was almost always silent (sometimes a faint whisper of a fan) while in idle or even during the demanding games. However, just to be safe, I purchased a cooling pad for when I play Sims 3.
However, after updating on July 22, 2015, (apparently a Windows Defender update) my computer began creating the very loud fan noise and excessive spinning, even when core temperatures were still relatively low/ the same as they were before the update. Now, when I load games, the fan is extremely loud for a few seconds, -loud enough to block audio, I cannot hear myself think- but then it quiets down to a noise level that is still at least 3x the average. Also, at multiple times during playing, the fan will speed up again for no apparent reason.
I'm not sure if the update really caused the problem, or if it was just a coincidence that it began immediately after it. I'd like to know both the cause of the initial noise at boot up, as well as the cause of the new noise/speed problems associated with games. Please ask if more information is needed! Thanks guys :)
to many problems with Dell/Dell M6800
hello
I like many others am also have problems with my AMD graphics card not working. its has at time not even been listed in my system. every test I've tried only uses the Intel hd 4600 graphics. I've tried turning off the Intel graphics but my screen went solid black, and would not come back on until I reset the computer. Also if I have to many internet windows open, or if I just open my CAD program with no drawing or anything on it the screen constantly flashes black until I close the program.
Has anyone else's AMD graphics card name changed from FirePro to Radeon?
After a recent update all of my USB ports stopped working, and my Bluetooth mouse stopped working, so I had to remove the USB 3.0 drivers, and Intel Bluetooth drivers. also all of this happened after I used the Dell Command Updater for the first Time.
I have never bought such a problematic item! I tried contacting Dell many times and was never able to speak to anyone, except on time a lady emailed me and said you don't have a business account with us.
Rant Starts Here: sorry I hope someone from Dell reads this.
I custom ordered this PC because I started CAD school. I got a 4810 processor, AMD FirePro 6100 graphics card (after an update it is showing it is a AMD Radon 8950 hd card?) 16 GB RAM, 128 SSD, and 1 TB HDD that they did not join together like I was told they would be, so I'm running low on storage. for a total of $2,850.00 pulse $150.00 for a Tablet that was supposed to be a free Promo gift.
after I got it I notice the had a prebuilt system I could have bough that have much better hardware for the same or less money, but the salesmen didn't mention that to me. he lied about many thing, and he called me many time that day until I ordered the PC. but after that I couldn't get ahold of him any more so I got *** with what they gave me.
then I was owed like $350.00 for reward points that I never even received.
I ordered this because I thought they were the best,and I ended up with a just Professional Mobile Workstation my AS*.
I'm a Collage student again, so this was a HUGE purchase to me, but the favor the big companies that buy there products. I Know in my future carrier as a CAD designer I'll never by another Dell Workstation.
