My DELL Inspiron 1525 (Midnight Blue)

Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T6400
RAM: 4.0 GB DDR2

New inspiron 14z. It seems that the fan is very noisy almost all the time the computer is on. It gets louder and softer according to what programs are open, but it's never really quiet.The real fun starts, however, once she opens a graphics-intensive program . The computer gets so hot it's hard to touch it, and after a while it'll just shut down itself without any warning.Is this a common issue with the Inspiron 14z? What should we do?

I think I made a mistake in purchasing my Inspiron 15 without a CD drive. This laptop came with Windows 8 (I hate it) and I would like to install Windows 7 (I love it), but not sure that I can. Forget it. I am not thinking. I just need to attach an external drive.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just bought a new Dell Studio 1535 and encountered the following problem:
I inserted my windows xp installation cd (as the laptop came with no OS). Windows setup began running, installing a multitude of drivers and files as it should until a message, something in the likes of "starting windows" (up to this point the screen is still the dos-style setup program). After a few seconds, a MS windows blue screen appears, stating that it encountered a fatal error.
I just got my laptop back after a big headache with the motherboard...
It powers on for awhile but when i try to play any games it shuts off by itself. I called up HP tech and they suspect it to be a faulty processor. When I try to run the memory test the laptop shuts off by itself too. What are my options for upgrading cpus?
I've got a dv5-1003. FE764ua. the processors that's in right now is an AMD turion x2 64. Also I'm only running on 2 gigs of ram when it originally came with 3. The laptop won't boot on if theres a ram card in the second slot.
I have a 1525 laptop that wants to stay awake most of the time. I have it set to hibernate when the cover closes. It behaves most of the time, but occasionally it decides to restart instead of hibernating. When it's acting up, it will do the restart if you try to put it in hibernation, sleep or if you try to shut it down. The only way to kill the thing is to do a hard shutdown using the power button. It's annoying to say the least, since you can't just close it and walk away. If it restarts with the cover closed, it gets way too hot.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI admit that I messed up in trying to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit without reformatting and using a flash drive and instructions downloaded from YouTube. And yes, I have learned a great lesson from this experience. Now I have purchased from DELLÂ a Windows 7 CD along with a drivers CDÂ for me to start over with. I would like to know how to do this the right way. I have a Inspiron laptop model 17R N7110. I am hoping that this fresh install will put this laptop back like it was when it was new. Minus the bloatware of course.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am about to re-install Windows on my friend's laptop, an Aspire 4520.
I am not super familiar with laptops, however I have noted that at the top
of his desktop, there is an utility program, a toolbar that I think is called Empowering Technology. My friend uses it mainly to check his battery charge
level, although there are a few other tools in this bar, like "acer eData Security Management".
The problem is, if I reinstall Windows, all programs on the Windows partition will be erased. That included this program/toolbar. And I don't know where to get back it back...like where to download a new one for installation.

I have an HP 2000t-2d00 CTO Notebook PC, Model: D6Q45AV.While I shut down my laptop, the computer shuts down with the message saying Shutting Down as normal.However when the screen turns black, the power is still on (lights are still on) and the computer does not shut down.I have waited for it to automatically shut down for 15 minutes, but instead I held onto the power button to manually shut it down.Also, I cannot restart the computer nor put it on sleep mode.When I restart the computer, the restarting screen only appears and does not restart the computer.While trying to put the computer on sleep mode, the screen turns black, but still the power is still on.

Yesterday night when I shut down, I got the Shutting Down message, the screen turned black, and the computer shut down in 10 seconds (all lights are off) as it normally should. Is there a software update that would solve this issue?

1. How can I permanently get rid of this problem?

I don't know if this has been discussed in another thread, but I am having a problem that has never existed before until Windows Vista & Windows 7.
When Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, & XP would go into the power saving mode just to turn off the display, it would always work. Now with either Windows Vista or 7, it does not

The only changes I've made is removing some annoying bloatware, but I didn't expect problems this fast and this early.
I hope this is not a heating issue because I would hesitate to get a replacement. 6930 owners...have you had this problem before. Does it get hot a lot? I hope it doesn't explode if I try to play Left 4 Dead on it.
Yesterday, I saw on the Lenovo System Update app, that I had couple critical and optional updates. These were the updates:
WER Patch
Lenovo Comm Utility
Lenovo Power Management Driver
ThinkPad Power Manager
Intel WLAN Driver
BIOS 2.60.1.14
Â
There were couple updates on the Windows Side. I ran all of them in one session so I can't really say if windows messed up something or the System Update is responsible but since yesterday I can no longer shutdown my x230t i7 Win 7 Pro. I closes the desktop and then it gets to the screen where you'll see a spinning wheel and the words "Shutting Down":

But it will hang there forever and never actually shuts down. I have to press and hold down power button to shutdown.
I replaced hard drive with SSD and installed windows 7 ultimate (X64) on my HP Pavilion G4 notebook. However, I am not able to install switchable graphics on my laptop now.

I have tried this
1. Installed HPSA and ran update and tuneup. It asked me to update "AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver" but it failed with multiple retries and after some time now it doesnt ask to do this update at all. Now everything is green in HPSA but I am still not able to switch the graphics
2. Tried to download from HP drivers page but it says "AMD Catalyst Mobility cannot be downloaded due to incompatible harware/software on your computer"
3. Tried uninstalling the driver but windows updates the drivers automatically.
4. I also updated BIOS as suggested at [URL] ..... but still no luck......

It has been a while since I have read this forum and I've had this XPS Gen 2 laptop for a couple of years and am happy with it.
I remember a while back there was a very detailed thread that told of how to do a Clean Install of Win XP for the technically impaired.
I want to buy a dell.com.au Studio 17 laptop. Problem is that they only offer Windows Vista and the software I want to run on the laptop is buggy and generally slower with Vista.
If I purchase Windows XP software speratly; will I be able to erase Vista and run XP?
I've done this with desktops before though i'm not sure if Dell has specific drivers/hardware only available in their factory install of Vista...
On another note, will RAID 0 still work with two SATA 200gb 7200rpm hardrives if I am able to get XP on it?
I'm worried that if I format the laptop I wont be able to install anything and have to get it repaired by sending it back to dell !
I want to install a SSD in my laptop, a Dell 17 R SE 7720. I can see that the hard disk is right under the palm rest, on the left side.Â
I want to move the Hard Disk to the other HDD slot, and put the SSD where the HDD is now.
The question is, can i do this without voiding the warranty? Am i allowed?
Is there a list with what i can do / change to my laptop without voiding the warranty?
trying to do a fresh install of xp thou a its running quite slow and getting loads of popups etc.
Any way put the XP CD and boot rom it via the bios. It begins to load all te XP files then suddenly crashes to the famous blue screen , saying something about a hardware problem, and my PC was shut down to prevent any damage.
I am trying to download drivers for a Dell Inspiron 14Z -N411Z to a USB drive through another laptop, because the hard drive on that Dell completely gave up. There is no installation software disc as it was on another partition on that same hard drive.
When I attempt to install the drives required to the USB drive on my Toshiba, it first wants to install the dsd.exe file before I can download the drivers. After I downloaded that dsd.exe file, I don't seem to find a way to install the required drivers as well. the DellSystemDetect.exe file wants to do that for me, but it is not on the correct laptop.
What do I need to do, to get those drivers downloaded on the USB, so I can complete the installation. I already installed the Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) on the Dell laptop.
Once win7 comes out, I wish to upgrade. How can I do this? I want to keep up the back up partition of vista and install 7(I want the backup partition just to be safe.)Would I just hit f10 on the loading screen and click use disks to format and insert the windows 7 cds.
My laptop
Acer Extensa 5630z
This is a brand new, just out of the box, laptop. Is it possible to do a clean install from the hidden partition?
But most important. I want to make a backup of the Out-of-the box state. Then I want to make another type of backup so that I can selectively uninstall items and selectively bring them back from the backup if I need them. How would I do that?
I want to get rid of:
1) All games
2) McAfee
3) MS Office Trial
4) MS Works
5) Welcome center - unless this si somehow needed.
6) Movie Maker
7) Windows Photo Gallery
8) Extras and Upgrades
9) Windows DVD maker
10) Windows Movie Maker
11) Live Messenger Download.
12) Windows Meeting Space
13) Windows Sidebar
14) Table PC
