Dell Inspiron 15 5000.how to speed up?

I just bought a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series w/Intel core 13 and this is the slower machine, that I've ever had. I changed the power to High Performance settings, but it is still very slow. Any ideas on how to improve performance. I'm not adverse to get rid of some of the crap that came loaded on this machine.  I chose Windows for category because there was a drop down for slow pos

Have you thought about asking on a forum of Dell? You can get better answers.

In the meantime, I would recommend a virus scan with Malwarebytes Antimalware. And if you provide a list of programs on your system, we might be able to give recommendations on what you can safely remove.

More RAM might help. Go to Crucial.com and run their upgrade analysis tool. Who will tell if they have compatible memory and give you some suggested upgrade configurations.

  • echo Dell inspiron 15 5000 helmet

    I got a dell inspiron 15 5000 with windows 10 because I liked my last inspiron, but im having audio problems with headphones. I tried the headphones on my tv, xbox, playstation, phone and they its great. But when I plug them into my new inspiron I get this light echo in the back and it's music, movies, and almost anything sound terrible. I even tried different helmet and nothing works. someone knows how to fix this?

    Solved. At least for my system:

    On Windows 8.1 and 10, all the sound elements had an annoying "echo" that drove me crazy. Echo took place after about 20 ms and all software, including the audio test are in

    ' Configure the control panel-> hardware and sound-> Sound-> speakers / Headphones->-> Test ".

    This was the test that I used to determine if the problem has been resolved.

    SOLUTION

    In the notifications area (on the right side of the taskbar), find the setting "audio Dell." It should look like this:

    Right click on this icon and select "Sound manager". There should be a setting under 'MaxxAudio Pro' called 'development of speaker. If you're like me, this will be set to 'On '.

    Turn it off! (Or, if you wish, fooling around with it for a bit first. There are some pretty interesting settings here.)

    I hope this has solved your problem!

    I have first items 13, recently installed on a new laptop of Dell Inspiron 17 5000 Series. The program works very well. However, when I have access to the program, I get a message that there is an update available, 13.1. I let him go ahead and do the update before using the program. It only updated, then restarts first elements 13. As soon as the program loads, I again get the message that 13.1 update is available. How to stop the happy ground?

    RTA,

    Thank you very much for your answers. As you suggest, I went to the help/updates and found that 3 points were scored update, Manager, 13 Photoshop and first elements 13 elements. On a hunch, instead uncheck one of them, I thought I'd see what would happen to let update all 3. It took a while, but, long story short, stopped the happy Vangogh and everything seems fine. Thank you for your messages, much appreciated.    Walt Maken

  • New laptop (Dell Inspiron 14 5000 series) with really bad internet

    Hi, I bought a couple of new portable weeks. the laptop as you can tell by the title is a dell inspiron 14 5000 series. It includes the pilot is an Intel processor dual band wireless - 3160 AC. The problem I have is that the internet is very slow. I get 1 Mbps when I'm in my room, but when I stand right next to the router, I get my normal Mbps which is 20 Mbps. I did some research on the resolution of this issue and the most common responses I got of to get a wired connection (if I do that, I might as well have a pc) and download the new driver (2 x 2). I also changed my HT Mode for people with reduced mobility that works, but the internet connection is really bad (5 Mbps). Now my action is to obtain a new driver, but just to be sure there is a way to fix my internet connection?

    I know this isn't the internet from the internet on the other laptops work perfectly fine. And I'll be back on the laptop but unfortunately my 2 weeks are up.

    Return the machine if you can.

    The problem you are having is a common feature of this series of machines from Dell. Dell staff does not recognize the problem and no solution is guaranteed. Just search the forum for yourself.

  • Dell Inspiron 15 5000 came with Dell Webcam Central.

    Hello

    My Inspiron 15 5000 came with Dell Webcam Central preinstalled as it should. I checked my Dell downloads, but it is not there on the list of downloadable software.

    Anyone know how can I get Webcam Central?

    Thank you.

    Hi mm132,

    If you have recently purchased the system and assuming it came with windows 10. The camera in the startmenu application is a substitute for the central webcam, except if specified in the order. If the Native windows application does not all the functions of the Central webcam, it's the native application in windows 10

  • Dell Inspiron 15 5000

    I just got the new Dell Inspiron 5000 15 and he arrived with windows 8.1.

    I can install windows 7 on it?

    the drivers will be compatible with windows 7?

    You will first need to go to the website of manufacturers for your model computer and first find out if there are native drivers in Windows 7. A large number of computers that are preloaded with Windows 8 have no native driver support for Windows 7 by the manufacturer. If there is no native driver, you will need to consider returning the machine and buying a machine preloaded with Windows 8 Pro with downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional. Or look through the catalogue of manufacturers for systems already preloaded with Windows 7, usually the business sector will have these options.

    Resources:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2832566

    Return the laptop if it came preloaded with Windows 8 and purchase one already preloaded with Windows 7, they are always available:

  • Dell Inspiron 17 5000 trouble

    Hello, I just got a new Dell, inspiron 17; and already used an Acer laptop. I currently have a pair of Turtle Beach headphones with microphone and it doesn't seem to be 2 ports from headphone output on this computer (1 for the helmet, one for the microphone) and there isn't a way for me to connect both at the same time as you can see. How can I make this possible?

    If you could look at a picture of them to see what I mean

    Hello. The person who told you yesterday, beamermt79, understood perfectly what you're talking about and you gave the right answer, you can't use your headset with your laptop, and he or she told you also that you might be able to use it with an adapter and provides you with a link to the adapters. I think you did not understand his answer so I'll try to explain it more detail.

    Most of the helmets of today are made for smart phones. They did not 2 separate Sockets, one for the microphone and one for the helmet as all the headphones listening used to have. Instead, smart phone headsets combine the 2 Sockets in a single dose, called a PLUG Cap (which means tip, ring, ring, sleeve) and it looks like this:

    Note that there are 4 contacts. One is common, one is the mono microphone, and two are stereo headphones. The jack combo in your laptop has contacts to match those of a JACK plug. The microphone of the headset plug has a TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) plug and that is why it does not work in a plug combo. However, the TRS plug for the part of the headphone output of your headset will work into a combo Jack.

    For some reason manufacturers computer now put these outlets combined in their laptops. I don't know if they are doing this because it's cheaper or because there are so many tablets and smart phones that use the helmets of DECISION-MAKING.

    Anyway, as said it beamermt79, you might be able to make your helmet works by using an adapter. Adapters look something like this:

    Note that the on this particular brand (helmet Buddy) jacks are color coded to match the records on your helmet. Jacks the jack accommodation 2 adapter plugs TRS, and then combine them into a single shot TAKEN. However a real big drawback is that many times this kind of cards do not work with laptops. I don't know why, but my guess is that the adapters change the impedance that Windows needs sense. Other devices without Windows do not use impedance detection so it's okay for them. So, if you buy one of them be prepared to return. To be as clear as possible, we received positive and negative reports on this kind of cards.

    An alternative is to use an input jack usb audio. They look something like this:

    This one is also color-coded. The usb plugs are fairly reliable and cheap and avoid combo altogether, but if you have 10 Windows, I have not heard if anyone has tried with this OS. A disadvantage for you is that your headphone already will have a usb port to draw power.

  • Dell inspiron 3521 (i5), how to configure Radeon video card laptop use as main graphics card?

    Hello guys.

    IM using Dell inspiron 3521 (version i5 to 1.7 ghz, Radeon HD 7670 M / Intel HD Graphics 4000, 6 GB of ram)

    I don't want to use the Intel HD video card at all, because the quality of the texture is so low. I would like to know, how to set up the main video card?

    Its possible?

    Thank you

    The 'main' video chip is the Intel one - it's the only one who has a connection to your display board.  The AMD GPU is a co-processor - it can be used (chosen from the AMD Catalyst Control Panel) for the applications you want to use it.

    It CAN be made the default GPU - GPU from Intel's wired for this role.  By design, all of the video data through the Intel GPU (which is part of the central unit of system processing).

  • Dell Inspiron 17 5000 PC series laptop battery orange flashing light

    my computer laptop battery blinking orange. I am running Windows 10.

    I checked the battery meter and battery is charged to 100%, and the counter shows that it works normally. The laptop is only a few months old.

    I saw another post that suggested restarting the laptop with the cable disconnected. I'going to try that next.

    Please provide the model number of Dell; Example: Dell Inspiron 3543

    In the meantime, I suggest you turn off the laptop, unplug the AC adapter / CC and all devices. Remove the battery and press the "Power On" button for 15 seconds, then release. Replace the battery, AC adapter, then turn on the system. If all goes well, there is not a light orange.

  • Just bought a Dell Inspiron 7000 15 - How can I activate the backlit keyboard feature?

    I don't know how to turn the backlit keyboard feature. There is a button (f10) that is supposed to turn it on but when I press nothing happens. Would be grateful for the help here! Thank you.

    DellJezz,

    Contact Dell Technical Support and they can help with this question. Since you have the sticker, if it doesn't work, the cable can detach.

  • Laptop Dell Inspiron 15 5000 - A12 - 9700P APU with radeon R7

    Hello

    On November 3, 2016, I bought this laptop equipped with an APU A12 - 9700 P and let me know what model is the Radeon R7 exactly?

    There are a few models of R7 there but that will be mine when I get the laptop?

    Is the driver using the R7 provided by Dell or we can use the AMD on their website when they update it every month?

    Thank you.

    You cannot use the amd Web site because all the drivers for your laptop must be from Dell. These drivers are specifically customized by Dell for motherboard of your laptop and are almost never updated. Sign up for notifications of updates driver Dell download website for your model so that you know when no driver or bios is updated by Dell. Posted by amd amd drivers will not work on your laptop.

  • Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series wireless

    I had to reload Windows 8.1 on this laptop.  I have now no wireless signal and missing drivers in Device Manager.  I had a disc Windows 8.1, but it had no drivers on this subject.  Miss me the category: other devices

    Network controller

    PCI encryption/decryption controller

    SM Bus controller

    and unknown device (5 of them)

    USB2.0CRW

    Is there a key wireless on this laptop that I don't know?  I don't see one on the keyboard.  Any help would be greatly appreciated to find these missing drivers.  Now this laptop is out of use, and I'm increasingly frustrated after 2 hours of messing around with it today.  Please help me!

    You must determine what network card you have (support.dell.com), enter the service tag, or to visually check original configuration.  Then download and install the chipset driver, network Wi-wired and wireeless drivers, USB, etc. - support.dell.com, downloads drivers.
