Looking to upgrade my Inspiron N7010 laptop to an Inspiron 15 3000 Series laptop.

As the Inspiron 15 does not come with a DVD player, will the DVD player from the N7010 fit into the Inspiron 15

CPU speed stuck

I'm using Dell Inspiron 15R N5110, which has Intel Core I7 2630QM. I recently installed Windows 7 SP1, uninstalling Windows 10. I ran Windows Experience Index and CPU-Z,

and my CPU rating is decreased to 4.5 (previously 7 or above). I checked CPU-Z showing the CPU running at a low speed.At task manager resource monitor in windows 8.1 it show CPU speed always at 0.76 GHz and remains same even if I load CPU heavily up to 100% .

But I also checked in Safe Mode it Worked fine there and CPU speed goes above 0.76 GHz and even to Turbo as well. But I can't figure out what is the problem in Normal Mode where CPU always runs at 0.76 GHz. How to figure out what's going on. I also diagnosed CPU by Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool  and it passed everything. How can this be fixed.???

Need help with keyboard backlight (Dell Inspiron 15 7559)

Hello, I'm having a small problem with my new Dell laptop.

I can't find the option where I could set my keyboard backlight to stay on constantly. It keeps falling asleep (turning off) after a short period of time. It is really annoying late in the evening as I always have to wake it up. Is there any way I could turn off the automatic sleep mode or atleast prolong it?

Thanks in advance :)

New laptop soon?

0

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a laptop very soon (by the end of the year) and I would like to know if new laptop version will be available soon (after DellWorld?).

I was looking in Inspiron 15" models, but there is nothing I want.

I'm looking for a laptop where I can play some games (maybe not the most recent one in 60fps 1080p), but something I can play in high, 1080p and 30fps.

The Inspiron 15" 5000 models look beautiful. I love the light grey color of the laptop and DVD support, but the AMD R5 M335 doesn't do the job. Dell Chat support were saying me that I can play games easily with this laptop, but I wrote the AMD and they said me no. Also saw some videos and it seem that it's very poor in term of aliasing, framerates, etc.

The Inspiron 15" 7000 gaming series could be great, but some reviews are saying it only have 4h of battery life (on DELL website it's saying 11h). Also, I really don't like the colors they have (black and red).

thx

How can my Alienware 17 R3 be out of USB 3.0 bandwidth after only plugging in two devices?  (1 HDMI to USB adapter and 1 ASI to USB adapter)  How can I disable the other USB devices (ports and built-in web cam) in order to gain bandwidth?

XPS 15 1tb + 32gb ssd Hard drive configuration

0
0

I have just bought an XPS15 9550-8076 from an outlet store and it came with a 1tb hdd + 32gb SSD.

Currently the OS is installed to the 32gb ssd and the 1tb is just set as a data drive.

Immediately im having issues as the OS drive is tiny and i have managed to almost max it out just installing office.

Looking online it seems that the SSD should be a cache drive and the OS should be installed on the 1tb, is that correct?

I spoke to dell technical support earlier asking this question and I was told that the OS should be on the SSD as i received it, however the person i was speaking to did not sound very confident or like he understood exactly what i was asking.

I'm wondering if having bought from an outlet store this was returned and restored incorrectly.

Dell Inspiron N5050 slow to start and runs slow

A little while ago I put a new 1TB hard drive in my Dell Inspiron N5050 to replace the old 500GB one. I used the Windows backup program on the computer and the information on the Windows website. I transferred the system image to a backup hard drive, then installed it onto the new hard drive. I've tried a disc cleanup, defragmenting the hard drive, and I've run all the diagnostics that Windows has and still this thing is SLOW!

 I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, my computer has an Intel Core I3 processor. I still have the old hard drive with everything still on it and I still have the system image on the backup hard drive. Please if anyone can help, I would GREATLY appreciate it, this thing is driving me nuts (My OLD Inspiron 1420 with a Core2 Duo processor runs circles around my N5050!)

Hi,

I have a new XPS 13 (Service tag 64K2KC2 ePSA Build 4304.07) that I have only had since the 16th of this month.

All has been fine until a couple of hours ago. A Dell message popped on the lower right hand corner to of the screen to tell me there was a Dell bios update. I selected to install the bios update and now the laptop will not boot.

I get the Dell logo and then a plain blue screen. 

Any ideas how to recover the system?

Thanks,

Richard

WD15 + Seagate Backup Plus Slim + XPS 13 9350 = Undetected USB Device

0

Finally got around to incorporating my WD15 docking station to my XPS 13 9350. Connection is fine. Laptop powering up. Speakers working. Tablet charging. Second monitor clear as can be. Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1TB - undetected USB device. Plugged it directly into the laptop and it popped right up. Back into the WD15 and - undetected USB device. I've seen some internet posts with upgraded Windows 10 / backup drive fails, but so far nothing with this docking station (or I haven't looked long enough). Anyone else go through this? Would definitely appreciate any Ideas. BIOS and drivers are all up to date. Many thanks.

Inspiron 5559 freezes after Anniversary Update Win 10

0
0

I noticed recently my taskbar, sound, and notifications not working after a while using Win 10 Anniversary Update. I installed latest drivers and also the latest Bios update but hasn't helped. I even created a Windows 10 media creation USB tool and did a fresh install. I also went to Dell site and created their Windows 10 install tool and performed the same clean install. Got the same issues with freezing. I'm glad I kept my desktop PC running Windows 7 or I would be rather mad right now. How in the world can one update mess up so much? This seems to be a major issue with PC's that received the Anniversary Update.
