I originally bought the laptop online knowing that the lighting effects were not working, I've been a computer engineer for 30 years and was sure with a bit of effort I could work it out. The fault was the classic - with the unknown USB device in device manager, the .

So I recently got my X51 and I'm loving it. I splurged a bit and got the blu-ray drive in hopes of playing blu-rays on my computer. The computer shipped with Cyberlink PowerDVD 10. Well, I popped in The Hobbit and it simply wouldn't play.

My laptop is having an issue where it boots up and then it freezes for about 2-4 minutes before you can actually use it. What I mean is when I turn the system on, it goes through boot sequence and passes the welcome screen.

My MX18-R2 delivered (2 days ago) with broken LCD, so I tried to write to the tech support, but found another problem. My Service Tag is wrong everywhere, also on dell online register. Service Tag is same in BIOS and I bought laptop online.

As I began using the newly bought PC, I noticed that my screen was blinking randomly among the day as I work, sitting in front of this PC all day/everyday 8 AM - 5PM. Sometimes 3-4 times in 5 mins or sometimes no blinking for 3-4 hour.

Hi, I need help. We just bought an older dell for my husband to use. Year 2004. Runs great but hes a gamer and the graphic card wont support his games. So we want to upgrade it but I cant even figure out how to figure out what the current graphic card is on this.

I want to share with you this information. I found why the hard drive led (green cylinder) was on 99% of the time. It will be on during the first 4 and more hour of operation. The raid array is in background initialisation. So it's normal.

It may not fit and the power supply would need to be updated. 79xx cards can be 10 to 12 inches long and 2 slots wide and require 750W or better power supply with 2x PCI-E power connections.

Moved to customer care for more expert service. sugarbear18

I am planning to perform a Clean install of Windows 8 Pro on my XPS 15z using a Standalone Windows 8 Pro Install Disc. My current Operating system is Windows 7 64 Bit. Can anyone provide me with a walkthrough on how to install it. Also what drivers should I install?
