Dell xps 15 l502x with graphics gt540m planted constantly?

I continue to have this problem where my laptop hangs on the games themselves. There is no stuttering or twist audio and the screen does not black, the game freezes on the last thing I was looking at. I can alt + tab out of it and everything.

I'm currently using the stock drivers because I sent my laptop to the issue where the computer would crash and would loop the sound, so when I sent it they told me that the problem was because I was using the new drivers, so they are back to pilot actions. I'm almost certain that it is a driver problem, if yes is there a solution to this?

just to follow up, I got my motherboard replaced on my laptop now it works perfectly well :)

  • Problem Dell xps 15 L502x charger.

    I have a dell XPS 15.  Before a few days I started getting an error message: charger is plugged in but does not support.  Anyone have any ideas what it is?  Thanks in advance.

    I tried to re install quickset64, but he did not change this problem.

    I ask you all to out get me of this problem.

    I had the same problem and I bought two batteries and always the same, I thought to buy new charger but goanna is to be too much for this stupid laptop. its cost very expensive like MAC but that nothing according to MAC and I got a new TOSHIBA with the same specifications that my i7 Dell XPS 15 L502X stupid, with the price less than $375 and is much more than Dell which never recommended by me to any.

    If Dell respect his client and it is a respectful organization, should be remembered this point in the market and replacement with a new or to pay less. In this way, it will keep its reputation in a top.

    Thank you

    Buy a Dell XPS 720 H2C with XP in 2008. Last week made a new installation to upgrade to Windows 7 (made by Micro Center). Have tried to get help through Dell... a lost... cause the last time I buy Dell. The audio card is a card OEM, "Driver Creative Labs Sound Blaster X - Fi XtremeMusic (D). Everything else seems to work very well. Diagnosis of device driver shows that everything is OK.

    Any ideas where to go from here?

    Answer was not helpful, but I appreciate the effort. Found the second site was a bit Advanced for me but looked interesting enough to sue later. Finally chased the problem to map its; called Dell and ordered a replacement. Let's see if that fixes the problem.

  • How can I find a copy of windows 7 for dell Xps 15 (L502X)

    Hello evryone...
    I have a dell xps (l502X) lap top... it's operating system (Windows 7 Home peremium) resulted in a mistake... and there is now no thereon oparating system, and I have no backup dist to restore it... My question is: there were can I download my lap top operating system?
    Tanks

    You misunderstood what George wrote.  Dells have a "factory restore Partition" and reinstalling Windows procedure that is described in the manual of your PC.  For example, here is an excerpt from the mine-

    Reference Dell Factory Image Restore [excerpt from manual for Dell Inspiron 1545]
    1. turn on the computer.
    2 when the Dell logo appears, press several times to access the Advanced Boot Options window.
    Note: If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop; then, shut down your computer and try again.
    3. Select repair your computer.  The System Recovery Options window appears.
    4. Select a keyboard layout and click Next.
    5. to access the recovery options, log in as a local user. To access the command prompt, type administrator in the user name field, and then click OK.
    6. click on Dell Factory Image Restore. The Dell Factory Image Restore welcome screen appears.
    Note: Depending on your configuration, you may need to select Dell, then Dell Factory Image Restore factory tools.
    7. click on next. Data delete screen is displayed.
    Note: If you do not wish to continue Factory Image Restore, click Cancel.
    8. check the box to confirm that you want to continue reformatting the hard drive and restoring the system software to the factory condition, then click Next.  The restore process begins and may take five or more minutes. A message appears when the operating system and the applications installed in the factory have been restored to the State of the plant.
    9. click Finish to restart the system.

    - - - - - - - - - -

    You can find this information for your model on the Dell support website [through www.dell.com ] If you have thrown the manual of your PC and don't have any pdf copy of it.

    The manual of your PC will also be instructions for creating a set of "Recovery disc" and do this after the factory restore.

    In addition, the backup utility provided with Dells [mine is DataSafe Local, but that may have changed] has the ability to create a USB bootable from the "factory restore Partition" so that you can deal with a hard disk failure in the future.  So do because it is a valuable tool [an insurance against future problems] - they advised me to use a 16 GB USB key, but the image is only 6.2 GB so I could use a 8 GB USB key instead.

    Palcouk is also correct.  All this which may or may not have been provided with your purchase, Dell will provide a floppy disk to install OEM of Windows 7 on demand - the load is small, I think [I think I saw a post about it being $30].

  • The upgrade of hardware Dell XPS 15 (L502X)

    Hello

    I have a dell Inspiron 15R (l502x) bought 4.5 years back. I want to upgrade the laptop in any way possible. Here are my current features: i7 processor, 6 GB RAM, NVidia graphics card 525M, NIC Intel wireless N1030, 500GB HDD (improved to 1 TB).

    What all can update this sheet? HARD drive is already updated, then I'll upgrade the network card, as my system does not support ca 802.11. I intend to improve with Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260.

    What else can be changed? upgrade of the motherboard is needed to improve the system performance? Although the system handles everyday applications with occasional slowdown of the entire system. Yesterday, the idling system to a State where the audio was breaking.

    Please let me know what all can be done.

Recently, I haven't used the PC for a few days, but when I turned it on today, could hear a fan noise noisy coming to the PC with the diagnostic lights 1, 3 and 4 illuminated and a white screen in power save.

It happened every time you start (in this case, twice). Remedies?

  • Dell XPS 9100 compatible with Nvidia GTX 980/970?

    All the world either of these new cards video 980/970 series installed in a dell xps 9100? Or whether they will work with the 9100, in particular motherboard/bios original card?

    I plan to upgrade my studio xps Dell 9100 (2010 I7 930 12 GB of ram, motherboard Dell 05DN3X Intel X 58 Intel ICH10R) with a new video card in replacement of the Radeon HD 5870. My choice of card is the new Nvidia GTX 970.

    The GTX 970 and 980 GTX are based on the new Maxwell Nvidia cards with high specifications on page and good price. While they are not suitable for the power of the XPS 9100 (two GTX cards consume less energy than the 5870), I don't know if my original xps 9100 motherboard (with a bios updated from July 2014 on the site of dell driver) is compatible with the gtx 970. BIOS office 8700 recent Dell was not compatible/created a problem of black screen, and Dell has released a updated Bios updated for the 8700 in December 2014 that apparently works fine now with the 980/970 series. I wouldn't drop the $350 on a video card that didn't work with my 9100

    I use the Dell 9100 for video editing (Sony Vegas Pro 13, Hitfilm 3, NewBlue and other programs based GL/CL) works more 3d animation with iclone (who prefer Nvidia). I could probably get another year or two out of it with a newer video card... otherwise I'll put all useful to a construction of the self.

    I'd appreciate any comments on it. Maybe Chris from Dell of this forum would know that he shares the fix for dell bios enabled the 980 work with 8700.  Thanks to Chris if he answers or if he can answer my question gtx 970 for me and other 9100 owners.

    Just this moment installed a MSI gtx 970 in my 3 1/2 years, xps 9100. Original motherboard. The only thing I've really updated over the years is the memory.

    Processor Intel Core i7-960 @3. 2 GHz (8 MB L2 Cache)
    16 GB OF RAM, DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-12800
    NVIDIA GeForce (r) GTX 970 4 GB
    Dell XPS 9100 desktop
    Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) SP1

    525 Watt POWER supply was more than enough. You must use both the point 6 and point 8 plugs not one or the other. Biggest problem was to find a second source of power. The 6 + 2 plug, but don't think that the other was there. He was and is buried in the middle of a wire harness. A sheet of plain to 6 points. Just enough.

    It works like a charm. Not at all of the start-up problems

  • Dell XPS 15 L502X restore Windows 10 to 8 - is not the disks

    A few months, I installed Windows 10 back on my XPS 15 L502X. It seemed OK, but a bit clunky. Now I'm sick of it. It is so much slower, freeze things upwards, the Start button does not work, it takes forever to connect, webcam does not always work etc, etc.

    So, I want to return Windows 8.1. In fact, I grew to love this OS. Problem is that I don't have the installation diskettes. I tried to get some via Dell website but it came to a bit of a dead end and I'm not sure if they will be provided after the expiration of the warranty.

    Also, I don't seem to have an activation code on the case - is a problem.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thank you

    Chris

    You can get Windows 8.1 by following the instructions here:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Windows-8-1-retail-and-OEM-ISO/

    But the performance woes are likely due to the fact that you have made an initial upgrade installation. They always perform significantly worse. A clean install of Windows 10 TH2 will work much better:

  • DELL XPS 8700 compatible with the monitor Samsung Syncmaster 2232 office

    HI - can anyone confirm that the DELL XPS 8700 desktop computer is compatible with the monitor Samsung Syncmaster 2232.

    Already, I have the monitor, but need a new processor unit.

    Thank you...

    Hi yydelilah,

    The monitor has VGA and DVI ports.

    By default, XPS 8700 comes with HDMI and display port.  If the system is configured with a discrete card, and this card has DVI/VGA port, you will be able to connect to this monitor.

  • Dell XPS 15 (L502x) problems with mSATA, it is even compatible?

    Hey all,.

    After you run out of warranty and immediately having HDD, I decided to install an mSATA SSD for faster boot times (with the possibility to keep a large spinning for storage disk). I bought a Liteon M3M 128 GB module and installed in the mini-pci-e slot in the compartment under the laptop.

    After that installation there no change, nothing picked up in the bios, nothing through a live Linux OS, nothing in the installer of windows and nothing in Windows itself (when I gave up and replaced the drive rotating and re-installed).

    I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS (A12) but this does not make any difference, I just googled and there is mention of a disabling Intel RST, but this option is not available for me in BIOS

    Is there something that I have done is wrong, it is likely that the device is defective, do I need some kind of pilots of special controller for installation of windows 7 or is this model of Dell just simply not compatible with mSTATA?

    See you soon,.

    -Dan

    Hi Dan,.

    XPS L502X supports the devices in the solid state (SSD) of 256 and 512 GB of capacity. However, I'm sorry to inform him that it does not support the mSATA disks. You can replace the hard drive with an SSD in order to improve the performance of the system.

    Please let me know if you need further information.

  • {A} Dell XPS 15 L502x McAfee SecurityCenter activation problem

    As shown in the topic I have XPS L502x. This morning, I restored my phone to factory settings due to some very strange behaviour of my machine. Restore was successful no problem at all. After that restoration was complete I connected my computer to the internet and at the same time the product activation window McAfee SecurityCenter pop up.

    Now, the problem is that it was al most 02:33 hours, that McAfee still connect to MaCafee.com. Even now, while I write this problem he still connects.

    Before this last test, I restarted my computer several times out of desperation that can be restart will fix it. But I think I'm out of luck. Something else that my internet is running @100 % navigation, streaming and downloading are very well at max speed.

    Please someone help me in this case.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Kind regards.

    Hi abidshahzad,

    I replied to your other thread 2 days ago, but you don't have to answer.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/virus-spyware/f/3522/t/19454708.aspx

    What kind of "odd behaviour" has been exposing your system that made you decide to restore?

    How long lasts your McAfee subscription, and when she did start?

    Before restoring the factory settings, your McAfee product had been registered and activated with success?

    If so, connect to your McAfee account on the link below using the email address and the password that you used initially when the first record.

It will be deleted and I'm no longer able to restore to Windows 7. If ever, I want to do in the future.

    Please explain.

    Concerning

    Its not too much of it is just an additional/optional security feature and make the boots a bit faster.

    However, this system will allow secure boot if BIOS is updated to the latest revision:
