  • Re: XPS 1530 - Turns off

    Hi I'm Brian I also have an XPS M1530 laptop (refurbished) and I ALSO have had sudden shutdown problems. The back vent is always very hot to the touch after this happens. It usually occurs when I'm playing World of warcraft. Sometimes, after only 10 minutes in that game I will crash. I Downloaded...

  • Precision M6400 Laptop shipped with wrong CPU

    I am curious if this has happened to anyone else or if I was just a simple one time mistake... I ordered the new M6400 Covet Edition - awesome laptop. Because of a need at work to run multiple virtual servers for sales demos I needed the fastest CPU and tons of RAM. I ordered the QX9300 12MB L2 Quad...

  • XPS CPUs Soldered or Socketed?

    I'd like to know how future-proof the XPS would be... And for that if the CPUs inside DELL XPS are installed on sockets, this certainly will allow for future replacement of CPUs. 1- Are all XPS (moreover all DELL laptops) fabricated the same way -CPU's holder wise-? if the answer to question...

  • Re: c840 and Inspiron 8200 insist on the PA-9 when posting

    Problem is, the higher wattage adapters aren't recognized by this laptop, either directly or through the c/port2. I have replaced the power/battery charger card to no avail, it only ran on reduced power mode whatever I did. Also, the battery does not charge. I have seen similar symptoms on other...

  • Re: Dell Latitude E6400 - Overheating issues with minute tasks such as playing flash videos for extended periods?

    Hi Mr_Dimsum, all I have to offer are ideas, but since I logged on to the Dell Community today to get help with a similar problem I thought I'd share my experience. Some processeors will combat overheating by reducing their speed (as you pointed out). One way to check it is by downloading a program...

  • XPS M2010 CPU's????

    Does anyone know what CPU's will work in the M2010? I know it's Intel Core Duo, and I'm running the stock 2.0 gig. Since this is the first laptop that I've ever owned, I am wondering if they take the same CPU's that desktop models do? I've got a E-6600 that I took out of my XPS...

  • D830 Painfully Slow in Dock

    I've had my D830 (XP SP2 now) for about 10 months. When I put it into the docking station things which otherwise would go quite smoothly tend to get bogged down. When I upgraded to SP3 the speed degradation nearly killed me so I went back to SP2. Running dual monitors while in the dock seems to bring...
