Hello,

My XPS 13 QHD 1TB 16GB RAM new laptop has been crashing on Windows 10 with a blue screen with the error "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area (bcmpciedhd63.sys)"

This laptop is brand new and i have only used it a few times since I purchased it from dell online.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

WiFi quit working on my Inspiron 1525 after Windows Updates installed

Windows installed updates a few days ago and wifi quit working. I uninstalled the windows updates from that day, updated the WLAN driver and even updated my BIOS and nothing seems to fix the problem. It says I am on local only access but when I connect to the modem I still have no internet to diagnose problems. Any help would be awesome!

Intel HD Graphics 4400 Glitches on Inspiron 3542

'm having problems With my GPU games and transparencies all over Windows 10 seems to glitch and have particles.

 

I have tried with the latest drivers from the vendor (Dell support) and I downloaded 'Intel(R) Driver Update Utility'.

Both drivers doesn't seem to help with the glitches.

 

Here's my specs:

 Intel HD Graphics 4400 Graphic

Current Driver: 10.18.10.4252

Processor i5-4210U

 I have tried downloading the latest from the support page on Dell and the latest from Intel but no luck same glitches on any driver.

My Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 3542

And here some Images:

I even tried booting another OS (Ubuntu) and tried some games, but I see the same result, so I think is physical and not software related.

But I really don't know.

 

Maybe someone here can help me.

Ambiguous feature listing confusing me to buy a new one

0

I was just checking out this Inspiron non-touch laptop which has got a heading

"New Inspiron 15 7000 Series Non-Touch".

The configuration section as well says "15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-Glare LED-Backlit Display".

But on the right hand side I see a small block saying

As seen in Green Monday Sale. Intel® Realsense™ 3D Camera + Touch Screen: Includes the new 6th gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor, Windows 10, and AMD graphics card.

Even the graphics card in the configuration section says is a NVidia, but the above windows says AMD.

Spoke to the customer care yesterday and after 40 minutes of spending time, the agent says that he is not able to understand. Total waste of time.


Hoping that I get a clear answer as to what the actual configuration I am gonna get if I buy this laptop.

XPS 13 Windows 10 install very slow

Hi,

I'm trying to update my XPS 13 w/WIndows 8.1 to Windows 10.  The machine is new with 8gb RAM and 512gb SSD.  It is taking forever.  I'm at a window "Upgrading Windows" It's at 1% for over two hours.  Is this normal?  Any suggestions about how to make this go faster?  I did disable the McAfee real time scan before starting the install.

Thanks,

Headphones make a static/buzzing sound on my XPS 13 (9350)

Hi guys, whenever I use headphones/earphones for my laptop via the headphone jack, I always hear a faint static/buzzing sound despite the fact that no music or sound is playing. Anybody else have this problem and/or know how to solve it?


XPS 15 9550 Coil Whine

0
0

I was hoping this wouldn't be an issue with the newer generation models, as it was my understanding this was fixed towards the end of the previous generation. Unfortunately, I have audible coil whine on my new XPS 15 9550 when plugged in to the power adapter. When disconnected from the adapter, the whine is much less noticeable. It is most noticeable for me when scrolling in Chrome, as an example. KB backlight makes no difference. It does get slightly better when the battery is fully charged, but is still quite audible to me.

Is anybody else experiencing this with the Skylake models? I am extremely disappointed at this point, I like everything else about this laptop other than the coil whine and the webcam being at the bottom of the display (which I can live with, unlike the coil whine).

XPS 15 9530 Intel HD Graphics 4600 driver crash

Hi, 

I have a XPS 15 9530, with a fresh install of windows 10 and the latest drivers from dell support site. 

I'm having a lot of problems with the Intel HD Graphics 4600 card, lot of driver crashes.

As soon I start Visual Studio, or Spotify or other app the driver crash notification appears:

  

In the eventviewer the following error appears: Display driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered. (EvenID 4101)

I tried to remove the device from the Device Manager incl. the drivers and install them again, but the problem is not solved. 

Some suggestions?

Is there or is there not a Dell Quickset app for Windows 10?

0

I recently bought an Inspiron 17 5000 (5758) and am trying to figure out how to extend the time that the backlit keyboard stays on. It currently goes off almost as soon as I stop typing.

If I bring up the Windows Mobility Center, there's nothing there about the backlit keyboard.
I've been back and forth with tech support, who most recently told me where to find Quickset (it's supposed to be at C:\Program Files\Dell\Quickset), but it's not.

I tried downloading a Windows 8.1 version of Quickset, but it wouldn't install on my system.

Anybody else had any luck with this?
Thanks

Vostro 14 3458 - Numeric Keypad?

0
0

Does the Vostro 14 3458 14" laptop have a numeric keypad? All of the pictures on the website (as of Dec 19th, 2015) appear to show a keypad on the right hand side of the keyboard.  However, the Vostro 14 3458 14" Core I5 8gb RAM that I received today does NOT have this keypad.

I am confused because the Dell website shows this in the pictures for the laptop that I ordered.

Battery plugged in, not charging...(found the fix that worked for my Dell Inspiron

Well, the charger is plugged in, but it says not charging. This has happened twice. I would have thought bad battery or bad charger, except luckily the first time it occured right after buying a new hard drive. I did a hard reset on the battery and that worked.

Now, it has happened again. I tried the regular battery reset, but that did not work. I tried uninstalling device and reinstall..did not work either.

Oddly, what did work was the following:

I had about 38% battery left. I unplugged the power cord from both laptop and wall outlet.

I removed the batter. Computer went dead.

I wiped the battery connectors with a clean cloth several times.

I put the batter back in and turned the laptop on with battery only.

I plugged power cord into side of laptop, then into wall outlet.

Immediately, the laptop began charging again! 

I am not sure why this worked. Maybe some techy out there may know. When I tried the battery reset, I turned the computer off before taking out the battery. Then took it out. Plugged in laptop with power cord and powered it. Then shut down and placed battery in. I turned back on..but nothing...

It may have to do with having the laptop already on when taking out the battery, or placing back the power cord, or could just be the wiping the battery with cloth????

XPS 15 (9550) Panel Response Time

Received my new XPS 15 (9550) a couple of days ago - Nvidia 960M 2GB with the 1920x1080p FHD screen.

I'm find the panel to be super-sluggish. The ghosting is really noticeable - even the Windows 10 "loading" icon has bad ghosting, which I've yet to see on any other device to date.

Is anyone else having this issue with their XPS, or is it just mine? I also have an intermittently dead HDD and lots of crashes/lock-ups so I'm feeling like I just got a bad apple from the batch.

WM615 Bluetooth Mouse Won't Scroll

I have a Dell WM615 Bluetooth mouse. It was working well but then stopped scrolling, i.e., nothing happens when I move my finger along the scroll strip. The keys still work fine. I've tried the scrolling in various programs and it doesn't work in any of them. I have a Dell XPS 15 and the Dell Update software says that the system is up to date.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

XPS 13 2015 - SD Card Reader Not Working

0
0

I just got a brand new XPS 13 with Infinity Display. The laptop won't recognise any SD cards and the card reader does not show up under Devices and Drivers. The problem is not the cards as they work on all my other devices.


I've updated and reinstalled the device driver multiple times to no avail. Any ideas? This laptop comes with Windows 8.1 64 bit.

Dell Precision M6800 with AMD Firepro M6100 graphics issues

0

I have just received a M6800 laptop, it has 32gb ram and i7processor and 256gb SSD and a 1tb hdd with a the built in intel hd 4600 display and a firepro m6100 and it is running Windows . When I booted it Friday using a DVI connected display and a display port to DVI display and a usb display, it worked fine. I started installing SQL server and visual studio etc. I had to reboot and now the display on the display port gets garbled up when it gets to the screen you click to log in. I have tried this on a few EPort replicators and it happens almost everytime. I have installed the latest AMD drivers, first from Dell then from AMD and that has not helped. I even rest windows 10 and it happened after that. I have booted it with display port plugged in and it booted to a garbled display, then when I disconnected the cord the remaining displays cleaned right up. I am not sure what will help me at this point. Anyone have any ideas what to do next?

Thanks,

Later

0

After a (somewhat) successful upgrade from Windows 8.1 multiple features not working.

- Video driver for Intel HD Family indicates a code 43 (device manager). Tried looking for an updated driver but was unsuccessful. Cannot adjust the screen resolution in Advanced Display settings. In Display Adapter Properties it indicates that  a "Microsoft Basic Display Driver" is installed.

- Brightens Function keys do not work.

- Wireless On/Off Function keys does not work

- No Sleep mode

I have tried uninstalling the video driver in Device Manger and reinstalling. The systems attempts to install a driver then gets an error and reverts back to the Basic windows driver.
