HI I HAVE A DELL XPS M170 LAPTOP. WHILE USING IT POWERED ITSELF DOWN. WHEN I TRY TO TURN IT BACK ON THE POWER LED COMES ON FOR 2-3 SECONDS AND THEN GOES OUT, NO DISPLAY, NO FANS, NOTHING.THE LED ON THE THE POWER ADAPTER IS LIT AND THE BATTERY TEST LIGHT WORKS. I TRIED AN EXTERNAL MONITOR, NOTHING.

Hello, I updated the OS to Win8...but now want to restore it back to factory condition to sell the laptop. Can anyone assist? None of the PC restore options I have found online help (i.e. F11, F7...etc.).

Hence I tried the manual modus. Whenever I switch into manual modus the screen turns black and on again and the automatic modus is again selected. So I cannot select manual modus. Now if I restart an error occurs telling me that my ati driver is not correctly installed and I should reinstall it.

Here's a brief summary of the before and after effects. System Specs: Alienware M17xR3 Intel I7 2720qm 2.2ghz 3.3 turbo Nvidia GTX 460m 1.5gb Bios Version A12 VBios Version A02 2x 750mb HDD Before:

After replacing the motherboard with 2 different motherboard's, 1 new and 1 refurbished, testing 4 seperate memory sticks and replacing processor with one new one the 3 beep code is still coming up, no matter which configuration of new or different parts are used. Help anyone?

A regular Hard Disc drive (HDD) stores data randomly across sectors and also has mechanical parts, which results in a slower response time. Intel Rapid Start Technology couples it with a SSD (as a caching drive) to increase the response time.

Note: Before updating BIOS please ensure that: *Battery is 10%> or >10% charged *Battery charger should be connected *No external devices (flash drives, printers, external hard drives) should be connected. *All other programs should be closed and documents saved

I understand that this has been a common problem with this laptop, however i havent been able to find any real fix on any forum and I cant get anything out of Dell themselves. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can fix the problem? Notes:

We are having a Dell power connect 2748 switch. We have been facing an unusual problem. This switch is uplinked to a Cisco L3 switch which inturn caters to the WAN Connectivity.

I have also read that bios could affect the detection of hardware? correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm looking into all possible options why my computer cannot detect my Gaming graphic card. by the way my laptop is Dell xps 14z

I use the Dell XPS L502X model from last three days. I am not able to get the display from my monitor. Laptop is under warranty. I could not recognize what is the problem.

It should work without an issue. Since PP looks for EMC devices and MEM looks for EQL devices. Especially since you are talking FC vs. iSCSI. However, it's not something that's certified to work. Setting up a node in a test environment would be a first step. Regards,
