Dell :: Could Stanby Mode Kill My 7950GTX

Mar 15, 2010

iv'e owned a M1710 for over 3 years and never had any issue at all with it. Sell it to a friend about 2 weeks ago with a fresh install of Win7 64bit installed.

Last night he calls me telling me it blue screened coming out of Stanby mode and when he reboots there are all kinds of graphic glitches/errors all over the screen during system post and It will only boot into safe mode.

I checked it out today and the graphic card is indeed fried, failed the Video Memory test of dell's diag CD.

Could Stanby mode keep an amount of current going through the video card without fans running and burn the memory? or is this just a big coincidence?

In my 3 years of owning the laptop I never used Standby or Hibernate, it always booted up pretty quick I never saw the point...

Dell :: Studio XPS 16-lcd Screen Colors Are Over-kill

Mar 14, 2009

I have seen this issue posted online (via Google) but I haven't been able to find a resolution to the problem (because I don't feel like sitting here reading through hundreds of pages in forums or trying to search using the perfect keyword to pull up my answer).

The color saturation on the 1080p screens that come with the Studio XPS 16 are extremely over-kill.

This notebook comes with a ATI card and not NVidia (I'm use to NVidia and being able to use the "digital vibrance" setting to 'calm down' the over-kill of the colors. However ATI's setting for this is greyed out and can't be accessed ......

Sony :: Z540 Stanby- When Battery Power Is Low

Aug 15, 2009

normally, when the battery power is low, PCs should go to 'standby/sleep mode' and save all current tasks in Memories. PCs will wake up and restore all previous tasks after plugging in AC power supply.

however, my z540 is weird, when the battery power is low, it does go to standby/sleep mode, but then it will wake up itself and go to standby/sleep mode again..Over And Over... until it runs out of all battery power. so all current opened operations will be lost, the only thing I can do to prevent form losing my job is to connect AC power supply immediately before the battery power is used up.

does any z owner encounter the same situation as mine?

Can anyone please help me. Hoping there is something i can do to maybe load the drivers from my flash drive then install the xp cd.

Dell :: 7950GTX To FX3500M

May 29, 2008

I just bought a 7950GTX for my e1705/9400 and installed fine. The board seems to work smooth in both XP and Vista. But since I want to work with quad-buffer-stereo modes (in XP), I want to turn this board to a quadro one. As far as I read, 7950GTX is the same board with FX3500M.

This transformation job could be done either with two ways. Software... using Rivatuner bla bla. And by flashing the board to another using nvflash and -6 -5 -4 parms. For my own reasons, I didnt want to do it with any kind of software and I tried the hard way....
Result??? Nothing!!! After I flashed my 7950GTX to a FX3500M, on the first reboot everything became black! The board seems to be not recognized by my machine or was not working So, I had to re-flash it back again to it's original state.

Does anybody from here has already done this before? Because from what I saw personally, must be one of the following cases:

1) the 7950GTX cannot run with an FX3500M bios! So the boards are NOT exactly the same.

2) the bios I used for quadro (FX3500M G71 board p469h7g v05.71.22.45.05) is not compatible with my board (7950GTX G71 board p468h6 v05.71.22.46.06) and I may need another

3) my Inspiron e1705/9400 with the latest bios A09 (but also with the older A08) cannot recognize and boot properly with any FX3500M board.

In case that someone has a FX3500M already installed and working on a 1705/9400, please let me know about board's bios version and I may need a copy of his rom.

Also, If somebody knows if this could be done please let me know too.
