Hello everyone.

I've got some ACPI problem with my notebook (BNB4312) - under the win 7x64, when it was working only with the battery, he was constantly freezing - no matter at game or in windows..

After installing windows 8.1 x64 this problem was solved, i haven't seen any problems so far...but

USB 3.0 device did not working! it just working in usb 2.0 mode, and didn't even display in the device manager as a device!

Here's the screen.  Maybe someone have seen such problem?


Battery Not Working

Okay, so recently my battery has been behaving quite weird. First I noticed that it stopped charging around 84%, now it has stopped charging at 67% and it is telling me that my battery has experienced permanent failure and should be replaced. I'm not sure if it is relevant but I have very recently installed windows updates, around the time where my battery started being weird. Not exactly sure which updates, I simply went to the windows update page and checked for updates and updated the computer. Please help me, I would like to try and fix this without having to buy a new battery. The computer model is a Dell Inspiron 15r (model 5521). Thank you.

Venue 7130 - dpc latency / driver conflict

$

Hi.  The SSD in my venue 11 pro 7130 died and I replaced it with a transcend ssd.  Since the recovery partitions on the old SSD were not accessible, dell sent me a USB stick that allowed me to reload windows 8.1.  However, the USB recovery media did not have drivers native to the 7130.  After windows was up and running, I updated every driver I could find from the dell website.  However, something (a drive presumably) is causing a conflict and creating dpc latency issues on the machine which result in laggy-ness and crackling audio.

I since have upgraded to windows 10 hoping that the driver issue would resolve itself.  The issue after upgrading, however, is even worse.

Would anyone with a properly functioning 7130 tablet running windows 10 mind sharing the list of drivers currently installed on their machine?  I used the utility below and my drivers are in the dropbox link just below that.

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html

https://www.dropbox.com/s/62clofuup6cwa3i/drivers.csv?dl=0

Finally, here is a link to a sysnative thread I've had on this topic that includes xperf traces and the like.  Basically, I'm stumped as to what is causing the conflict on this machine.  It's almost unusable.

Video_tdr_failure new windows install

Always had a problem with my laptop since buying it of the video tdr failure blue screen, sometimes been able to get around it with driver updates or other work around but it would always eventually crop up again.

The problem I have now us that I had to do a factory setting restore back to windows 8, cleaned the system fine but now I can't install windows as it can't get past the error blue screen. Obviously can't install drivers as the only way I know how is when windows is actually installed and the only way laptop will boot is in safe mode and windows won't install in safe mode.

Any help?

Hey guys so I got a new Dell laptop, and the touchpad has really been bothering me. The left and rightclick buttons are part of the touchpad, so anytime i use them to click my cursor moves slightly. Is there a way to change the area which the touchpad detects motion, or perhaps turn off the touchpad detection over the two buttons? Thanks(the mouse and touchpad settings were no help).

I have an Inspiron 15 7558 it has the touch screen, so it can be used as a tablet also. I updated the Windows 8 (which everything ran fine on) to Windows 10 and since then to get my screen to rotate i have to completely restart my computer. I've made sure the rotation lock was off and tried to look stuff up on google, but couldnt find anything. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, all,
If you were going to be somewhere with decent amounts of sunshine most of the time, and wanted to be off-grid for 7 -10 days at a time, using power mostly for fridge, attic fans, water pumps, consumer junk (radios, computers, gizmos) and very little AC, what battery setup would give you plenty of capacity?

DVD writer malfunction after upgrading to Windows 10.

To whom this may concern,

During a few days back, I got notification that my laptop, Dell Vostro 5560 is ready to upgrade to Windows 10 and I upgraded it. Just two days after upgrade, I cannot write DVDs with my DVD burner, HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GUA0N. I already tried both Windows built-in writer and Nero burning software. However, I can read DVD, read CD. I have not tested whether I can write CD or not. But one thing I know is that I can't write DVDs anymore.

Do I need to upgrade my firmware for DVD drive? I already downloaded and installed the updated drivers and BIOS for my laptop which are compatible with Windows 10.

Blue Screen Error Code: 0xc0000001 with Inspiron 17R SE Running Windows 8, Possibly related to download of Avast?

Hello, this is my first post so let's hope everything is up to the norm. My friend recently purchased an Inspiron 17R SE which had been about 3 years old and had been reset previously before purchase of course so all the drivers and what not had been reset. So, my friend turned to me for a antivirus software and I had shown them Avast Free Antivirus, since it has worked quite well for me. Anyways, they had downloaded the software and shut off the laptop and returned the next day to find it displaying a blue screen and error code 0xc0000001 and the inability to go into the recovery mode or safe mode by pressing shift+F8 while booting. I have no idea how to help my friend and am turning to here for answers. I do not know if and how I should go about resetting his laptop due to me utilizing a toshiba on windows 7, or if thats even needed at all. Please aid me! It would be much appreciated =]!

Dell XPS 12 9Q33 keyboard backlight stays on when screen off on W10

$

So I upgraded my XPS 12 to WIndows 10 when the RTM version came out. Upgrade went well, no issues whatsoever. I checked Dell website and saw some updated drivers for Windows 10, touchpad, GPU, sound, Wifi and BT. I though even if my ported drivers worked fine, i guess updating them will not hurt.

Well since then, when my screen turns off after 10 minutes of inactivity, my keyboard backlight stays on all the time. I don't set my computer to sleep, I just set it so it turn off screen. Before W10, the backlight would turn off after 1 minute of not touching the keyboard or touchpad but since I updated the drivers, it will stay on indefinitely.

Any suggestions?

Hi!

After installing windows updates to my PC something strange happend. It was not possible to open start menu, edge browser seemed to be missing etc.

Since I just upgraded my operating system to windows 10 I decided to reset it to factory settings and then install everything back.

System reset was passe without any errors (100%), but when booting device there was an error ... inaccessible boot device

So I tried to use my recovery USB stick to start pc, but then I get an error ...  0x4001100200001005 contact dell support

F12 diagnostics cant find any errors, also dell backup and recovery cant find any errors, but when dell backup and recovery starts repairing pc, error code above appears and process is cancelled.

Any idea what is wrong and how to solve that problem??
