I need to disable the optimus technology on my dell inspiron 14R 5420, but can't find a way to do it in bios. My bios version is A15. Can I upgrade to another bios with more options?
View 2 RepliesI'm thinking of buying a Thinkpad E540 with a discrete nvidia gpu. I am planning to install linux on it and I don't really need optimus for it (nor is it well supported) but I'd like to occasionally be able to use it on windows.
I'd like to know if it's possible to completely turn off the nvidia gpu from the BIOS so it works only with the integrated intel one or should I buy one with intel gpu only.
I have read that the lenovo changed the dual gpu implementation on the latest generation thinkpads.
I have a HP ENVY 17t-j100 Leap Motion QE CTO Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) with optimus technology.Can I disconnect the optimus technology and only use the NVIDIA card?

View 5 Replies View RelatedThere are a few configurations of L440 laptops with Nvidia GT 720M grafic cards and Optimus (e. g. 20ASS01G00). Is it possible to change the used graphic system in the BIOS (Intel only/NVidia only/Optimus)? And which card is hardwired to the external ports (VGA, mDP)?
(Do this differ from the T440p or the Edge Series, E540?)

I am facing a problem with my laptop. It is not accepting my bios password. After three tries, it shows screen with two items [1-System Disable(16-Digit hexadecimal code) 2-Service Tag(my laptop's service tag)].

How can disable my internal HDD from Bios version A08 of Inspiron 5423? I cannot find this option in the Bios. I'm trying to boot from an external usb HDD but it fails because of the OS installed in the internal HDD.

I was originally under the impression that my laptop (Thinkpad T510 4384-DS9) had NVIDIA Optimus display technology, however, I cannot find any OPTIMUS options in the BIOS under display (or any other section for that matter).
The reason I would like to know is that I have recently purchased a docking station (model: 4338) and 3 external monitors which I would like to use simultaneously.
Forgetting the fact that I'm using Linux, and that for most people this wouldn’t be a challenge worth undertaking, I would just like to know if my system actually supports 3 external monitors and the laptop screen concurrently using the docking station.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just purchased a Dell Inspiron N5050 laptop computer specifically because I wanted a computer that would support WiDi (IntelWireless Display) to my HDTV. I had been under the assumption that all current generation laptops included Intel Wireless Display technology.
After receiving the computer, I have just discovered that the wireless network card in this machine apparently does NOT support wireless display technology. Is there a way that I can replace the network card in this machine with one that DOES support wireless display technology or at least addan additional card to the machine that supports wireless display?

My Inspiron 15z was just repaired today (it got a new motherboard due to a different problem that is now fixed). But now, whenever I start up my laptop, I get an error message from Intel Rapid Start Technology Manager that says "Your system does not appear to have Intel Rapid Start Technology enabled." I have never gotten this error message before. It is only now after my motherboard has been replaced. I don't understand what Intel Rapid Start Technology is and if I should have it enabled, and if so how to enable it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust bought an Inspiron 17R SE 7720 with a 32gb SSD. Started it up today and completed the 'setting up windows' bit. Opened up 'Intel Rapid Storage Technology' and it can see both of my 750gb HDD, and the 32gb SSD but there is no 'accelerate' tab available.
Incidentally, when I click on My Computer, I can also see both 750gb HDD and 32 GB SSD- i though the latter was not supposed to be visible here. Under 'Computer management' the SSD has an 8gb 'Hibernation' partition and a second usable partition.
Having read numerous posts about this already, I have checked in the Bios that Intel Smart storage is already selected.

My wife has an on boot bios password and wanted to disable it. She asked me to do it because I work in IT so it shouldnt be a problem.
I logged in with her password. Went security, user password, Press enter, typed in existing one then new password blank and confirmed it with another blank password. Rebooted and now it prompts for a password and we are stuffed.
Is this me being stupid did I do some thing wrong is that not the way to do it ?
