Dell Inspiron 2650 display scrambled until the computer "warms up".

Hello.

I own a Dell Inspiron 2650 that just ran out of international warranty on Aug 3 months :-(. The laptop is about 5 years old. One morning I turned it on, and there were lines everywhere in the monitor. The lines kept 'dance' and the computer became unusable at this time. I turned off the coast and I replaced the RAM of the computer (at first, I suspected that RAM memory may be faulty, since I had a desktop computer that have had similar problems and it was solved by replacing the RAM; and in the laptop, some video memory is shared with the RAM).

Change the RAM has NOT fixed the problem. I tried all possible combinations: 2 different types of RAM that I had to hang out, different RAM slots (the Dell Inspiron 2650 has 2 slots), everything. Nothing has worked.

I then waited patiently for the episode to repeat itself, and when it did, I plugged an external CRT monitor. The image in the external monitor looked the same - so it wasn't a monitor problem - he had to be the motherboard or graphics card related. Another thing that might be interesting, is at the same time, I had a few MP3 stopped playing music on the computer, and when the music was the problem, so it doesn't seem to be just an innocent only display problem.

I disassembled the laptop and pulled out the NVIDIA Geforce2 Go video card and put back on the motherboard, made sure all the screws holding the video card to the motherboard are tight and made sure the strip of the screen to the video card is connected properly. I made sure that the keyboard is properly connected to the motherboard, and nothing seems to fragile or irrelevant.

But the problem happened again. And here's the clincher: if I just put the computer for 15 minutes and let it "warm up", then I reboot, it seems to work fine after that. In fact, he needs to warm up. Which would also govern the video card? I've seen computers that crashed when the video card EU hot, not unless HE had hot...

So for now I just do this little dance every morning: I turn on the computer for about 15 minutes, restart and do my thing with her. But I would love to get it fixed.

If you have assumptions or certainties about why this can happen, please let me know how to fix it.

Thanks for reading!

    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

  • Dell Inspiron which is unbootable - prepare the question of compensation

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 that works fine until I loaded Windows 8 and tried to upgrade (which failed).  Then one day I started and got the formidable preparation repair which cycles and cycles, and cycles without result.  I took the PC in the MS store and that they could not delete files from the disk or that it can begin.  So here I sit with a PC, Window 7 Pro and Pro Windows 8 disks but nothing works at the start of a.  I changed the boot sequence to start only on CD/DVD.  The Windows 7 disc begins to load and a Windows splash screen appears, but then becomes empty but no progress after that.  The disc of Windows 8 fair results in a cursor blinking in the upper left.  What can I do to load something that gets this PC working again?

    Something like DBAN allows you to clean the disc entirely (zero / writing) and then try to install the operating system from a well known together of the installation media.  (CD, DVD, USB key, etc..)

    You could contact Dell and get them to send media recovery/restore.

    You can download the ISO for specific Windows 7, _ _ - bit editing, you have the product key (sticker on the computer, probably).  Try it and new media.

    You could create a Ubuntu Live media set and start to look at the situation in car - erase all partitions...

  • DeskJet 3520 doesn't print until the computer has been restarted

    I had this printer for years and have never had a problem with printing until recently.  When I try to print something (whether from a Web page or a word document), it crosses as if everything is OK and even displays the print icon down in the taskbar.  But the page will not be printed in fact until what I restarted the computer.  I tried troubleshooting, but this utility says that there is nothing wrong.  My laptop has windows 7 and when I looked for drivers, he said that windows 7 has updated drivers.  I've pretty much exhausted at this stage of my knowledge of the printer!

    The only changes that I made recently are to move from a cleaner who had windows vista on a laptop that has windows 7.  And it printed fine when I made the change.

    When the computer goes into hibernation mode it has a VERY hard time out!

    The Inspirion flashes it is seeing power on in case of sleep hibernation. You should be able to hit any key and get him out. When you press a key, I use the SPACEBAR, the fan turns on, as is the fresh start! Somehow, it gets lost, I have a black screen. So that my computer get going, I have manual press and hold the power button for a few seconds, then he's trying to start up. He eventually finds his way. The populous deshtop appears, but it is still confused. The power light flashes!

    So I move the mouse on and close it, it takes a while, I get a warning about programs in the background need more time to stop, it ask if I want to force the closing down and I do not have!

    He stops, I start it again, it works like nothing happened? !!

  • Dell V313 printer cannot communicate with the computer

    When I try to print from my Acer Aspire Windows 7 on my dell v313, I get the message "communication not available - the printer cannot communicate with the computer. It's already happened, but when I restarted the computer it would print. Now, it won't. I replaced the USB cable and downloaded the last Cabinet V313 - and the software. Ink cartridges are filled. I am holder of a horse's hoof and a 4 leaf clover; but nothing works. What can I try now? Thanks for any help,

    Mike

    Mike,

    You can try to disable the ToolTips of printers. If the printer is wireless, try channel 11 in your wireless router. You can also try to remove computers printer scan list and then restart the computer and see if it prints.

    Start, Control Panel, devices and printer, your printer, printing preferences, advanced, more control options. Tell him to never show. The problem with this setting is that you can not tell if you are weak of ink, printer jams, etc..

  • Last image remains in display panal until the next frame starts.

    For some reason any every time I cut a clip and follow it with an empty space of the last frame of the clip remains in the panal display, even if the clip is finished. This isn't a problem when I go to the clip, empty space is represented until the next clip begins. It is in audio synchronization for the right frame up a nightmare. Any suggestions?

    Rather than leave a gap in the video, what happens if you insert black Video (created with the new icon in the project Panel)?
