Mike Dell and other principals are looking to take Dell private again. I am hoping they are making this move to get away from shareholders who want a return on their investments and get back to making GOOD computers again. Don't get me wrong, Dell is still a decent computer, just not as good...

I have a Dell Studio XPS 9100 computer with Windows 7 Prof (SP1) (and all current Windows Updates). I been able to play music CDs without any problems since the purchase of my computer. This afternoon, I tried to play a music CD and the media player window would open but not go any further....

After five years, my Dell wireless 1395 WLAN Mini Card in my XPS M1530 is failing, anyone here that have had an experience with that problem could advise me on a suitable replacement from a suitable vendor? I am presently using a USB Wireless adapter as a work around. Thanks, Larry

I'm now working on my second 14R, aka N4010, tearing it down to reconnect the wifi card and touchpad for the guy who thought he could do it all himself after replacing the hard drive with an SSD. Now it hits home where I have seen this stupid design before! It's almost the same as the lamentable...

I have a Dell XPS9000, bought in March 2010 and running Win 7 Pro64, that has had intermittent problems getting through the POST and bootup process for about 18 months. (Unpluggiing the power cable for about 30 seconds sometimes seemed to help it get to the POST.) Until today, it has always...

I have a Dell 9200. I now use Acronis 13 for backups. When I run Acronis, it lists the partitions. The list includes my drive C, a drive D which is identified as Recovery and another .1 gig sized partion called Unnamed Partition- which is identified as a FAT16 type. I don't know if that is...

Any opinion from owners here on this model? Likes / Dislikes / Recommendations .

Ok, I know this is a Dell group and my desktop is a Dell Dim. 2400. But we got smart folks here, so maybe someone has an idea: I am having a problem getting my brand new HP Windows-7 Pro computer to recognize my printer. I have a desktop in the basement. My modem and router are connected to...

Is it possible to change Video Shared memory in BIOS on this model? I checked all options and I'm afraid that it's not impossible but maybe you know something about that.

Dell GX620 mini tower. Been running just fine for many years. While watching a movie the machine locked up. No blue/black screen it just froze the image on the screen and wouldn't respond to anything. Hit the power button and it shut down. Waited a bit and hit the power button. Came up and went...

Well it looks like Win8 requires some additional CPU features and instruction set commands.... Wonder what vintage or versions of the CPUs where these features were first included ? Wanted to try an old Dell C610 laptop, but it failed these CPU tests. --- PAE - NX - SSE2 -

If the monitor won't time out and turn off, one trick to preserve the flourescent lamp (if it's not a led-backlit screen) is set the power options to do nothing if the laptop is closed, and then (almost) close the laptop. Bingo, the screen goes dark. Almost closing it (watch for the screen to...

I am considering upgrading my Precision T7500 CPUs. I currently have dual quad core Xeon E5620. Looking at New Egg, the 5600 series has two different descriptions "Westmere" and "Westmere-EP". A quick google search on the difference did not explain it to me. Would either work in my machine? ...

According to the specs for the Optiplex GX520, it has a 945 chipset, which is capable of handling an Intel dual-core CPU. But the specs also say that the GX520 does not accept a dual-core. Anybody done it? BIOS limitation? The GX520 and GX620 are almost identical. Thanks... Ben Myers

CEO Steve Ballmer has already said that Microsoft sold 4 million Windows 8 upgrades in the first weekend after its debut, but it seems like sales of the new OS aren’t going exactly as expected. Citing an insider, Paul Thurrott of Winsupersite.com writes that Windows 8 is already considered a...

received this question from a friend - thought I would share --- I have a problem with my computer, and I wonder if you have any suggestions on how to fix it. Drive 1 (C:) has Windows 7 installed. This drive is actually a RAID 1 combo of two 1 Tb Western Digital "Red" drives.

The T7500 has to set of HD connectors --- one group of four that are SAS/SATA. These are attached to a Dell SAS 6/iR Integrated Workstation Controller. All of these work fine. The other set of three is simply described as SATA connectors. I have two optical drives connected in slots 0 and 1,...
