View 4 Replies View RelatedWhy is Dell still selling notebooks with Nvidia GeForce 8000M Series such as the XPS M1730?
They know the GPU is defective and will fail far sooner than it is intended to. They are selling a ticking time bomb.
I know that they release a BIOS update but that will only delay the eventual break down a bit later after the standard warranty expires.
Not sure who moved my post to "price check", but if I wanted it there I would have put it there as I am looking for opinions from Sony users and owners who frequent this specific thread and possibly not the price check thread. Thanks
I am preparing to sell my Z590, it has 4GB of RAM, original Sony restore disks, 320GB 7200 RPM HD and I believe a 2.4Ghz P8600 processor, slimline ac adapter and the Sony high resolution screen.
I just recently placed an order for a Studio 1737 (replacing an Inspiron E1705). It comes with a 1 year warranty.
I'm debating whether it's worth spending $200+ to upgrade to a Dell 3 year warranty or should I get a 3 year Square Trade Warranty for less than $150 (I can get one for around $120 after a coupon)?
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop. I purchased an OEM system builder Pack Microsoft Win Home Prem 7-64 bit English disk that won't install on my computer.
I am assuming my laptop is 32 bit, not 64 bit. Is there a way around this? I now have the disk for sale on Ebay but would like to be able to figure out how to use it either on my laptop or on my HP desktop.........
Dell is offering a pretty cool opportunity for customers and the general public to help us redesign the support website for home users.
Go to this Storm Session link if you have suggestions on what you would like to see.
What will happen if no one is there to take/sign the package? Will they just deliver again monday or do I have to go pick it up somewhere?

I have been searching all over various forums and tech sites for an answer. Currently I have 2 GB of ram in my 1520 that's running Home Premium. I've done a clean install after adding the 1 GB Turbo Cache module. It was only about $30.00 and figured worth the risk to try for performance gains. I haven't felt much there.
Does anyone have any positive feedback on performance when upgrading from 2 GB to 4 GB of RAM? I am running 32 BIT and don't care that the full 4 GB are not recognized. I don't want to waste money unless it will make some difference.
Aside from the clean install, I've been using X-Setup Pro, Tweak UAC and TweakIV for optimizing the settings for a little speed. I've also tweaked the services according to Black Viper's web site. The software tweaking has helped immensely.
I appreciate anyone's feedback on upgrading to 4 GB of ram. Sorry if this has been an old discussion getting beat up once again. However, prices are right around $75.00 for 4 GB of G Skill from Newegg.
What are the major differences between Dell home laptops and business laptops besides Home ones having fancier colors and media buttons?

Dell laptop Inspiron 1300 tag DM1492J. When trying to boot from hard drive it only loads to Windows XP long in screen then goes to a blank blue screen. It will not load in safe mode nor can I repair/reinstall XP from DVD/CD drive. I have entered BIOS and placed DVD/CD drive first disabling all other options but still cannot get it to load XP.

View 5 Replies View RelatedDell never gave my girlfriend a disc to re-install Vista.
Actually... I'm playing the role of Tech Support Guy (even speaking to her with a difficult-to-understand Indian accent!!).
She had a crash, so I used VistaPE to get her data off of the computer. Now, I wanna restore Vista to the original factory settings. Sounds easy enough... use f8, right?
Wrong... it won't work in my case. The recovery partition is still there... I just can't access it. The operating system won't boot up at all. I used a non-Dell Vista Home Premium disc to access the Vista System Recovery option, but that doesn't help. I can't get at Dell's recovery partition.
I figure if I had a re-installation disc that's actually from Dell, I could access Vista's System Recovery feature that includes the Dell option to restore the computer to the original factory settings. Problem is, I can't get ahold of one.
Does anybody know where I can find one without going directly to the Dell website? I think Dell has the worst customer service on the planet and I would pay someone to hit me in the head with a sledgehammer before I'd spend one dollar on a Dell product. I've been scouring the internet for two days and can't seem to find a stray copy of what I need.
The computer came factory-installed with the 32-bit (x86) Windows Vista Home Premium.
Yeah... you read that right: a DELL with VISTA!! Could it get any worse?!
This whole thing is driving me bat-sh*t crazy.
I hate Dell... I thank you all in advance for any help that you can give.
Maybe someone would be so kind as to post an .iso image of their own disc?!
I have a Dell XPS 1530 and at school, my computer connects to the wireless internet fine and has normal speed as if it were connected to an ethernet cord, but at home,
it connects but is extremely slow. There are other laptops that connect to the router and they have fast speeds. My computer has vista home premium, 4 gb, intel core 2 duo cpu, t8300 @ 2.40 ghz.
I am planning to buy Dell XPX 1530 or HP DV4 1131tx for purely to run virtual machines.
is there any possibility to make it dual boot with Windows server 2003 standard edition or Win XP 64 bit? If possible then what are features i won't be able use for above both notebooks.
I installed some windows updates to my computer. The next time I turned on my computer it didn't act normal at all. It went to a start-up repair screen which scanned for a long time only to tell me "start-up repair cannot fix this computer" so I shut down and left my computer. I called Dell's support line and talked with technical assistance, the guy had me run some tests and in the end told me that there was nothing wrong with the hard drive and that it was my systems software that was the problem. didn't wanna restore at that point because wanted to save my pictures.
I ended up taking the hard drive out, transferring pictures onto my brothers computer and then I did a full system restore ( by tapping f8, choosing repair my PC, then choosing "Dell data safe restore and emergency backup" in the system recovery options screen. ) This actually worked and I restored my computer, however after installing updates again (quite a few too, when I shut down my computer it said installing update 1 of 72?! )
My computer went back to the start up repair screen and did the same thing as before. restored my computer one more time, and now again after updates were installed my computer will not work correctly. I do have the windows product key under the battery but would like to know how I can fix this problem. Will have to reinstall my windows software?
