• Need to get the bluetooth works on Dell Studio xps 1640 after upgrade to Windows 8

  I upgraded my Dell Studio xps 1640 to Windows 8. Since then, I've never used Bluetooth, I was not concerned that my bluetooth software was not compatible.  Now, I've found a use for Bluetooth and I can't update my driver because when I try to download the driver I get the error message no bluetooth is detected.  I know that Windows 8 turned off the Bluetooth because of the lack of compatibility, but now I find myself in an enigma. How to Bluetooth if it does not appear?

• What type of SSD (2.5 "SATA III or mSATA) is compatible with my Studio XPS 1640?

  Greetings.

  I'm looking to update / replace the original hard drive in my Studio XPS 1640.  I decided on a SSD Samsung 1 TB 850 Evo, but - without opening to the top of my laptop an extra time - I don't know which format is compatible: the 2.5 "SATA III or the mSATA?  I will very happy if someone can tell me which of these SSDS work with my laptop.

  You need a reader 2.5 "SATA - there is no support for type mSATA or readers PCIe card in this system.

  The SATA controller is 3G, so you will not see the full implementation of a SATA 6 G - you'll get only half of that can support the disk - but a SATA SSD will work with the system.

  The system is designed for a 9.5 mm hard drive - you'll need a spacer to mount a 7 mm SSD (some readers from Samsung and Crucial include;  If yours is not that they are just a few dollars).

  The cooling fan is not test, or do anything else. Nothing on the screen or the other.

  A Google search is supposed to replace the motherboard. I did this and the problem persists.

  Someone at - it tricks, tips or advice please?

  Mike

  Thanks for the reply! The problem was a crooked PIN. Once I straightened the PIN and reused thermal paste the laptop worked perfectly. I don't know if I did it, but I didn't have the old motherboard to see.

  Thank you!

• I forgot to change the IDE to AHCI in the BIOS when installing programs in Windows 8

  Just installed Windows 8 with a new HD SSD. I forgot to AHCI in the BIOS before installing all my programs. I remembered and set the BIOS to AHCI but Windows 8 will not start. I don't want to do a fresh install. I tried to play with the registry:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci

  I set the start value data to 0

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\pciide

  I set the start value data to 0

  Rebooted and set the BIOS to AHCI Windows is not loading.

  Can anyone help?

• Qosmio G50 change IDE to AHCI controller

  Hello
  I recently bought an SSD
  and the wand to increase its performance and the Firmware upgrade by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller
  How can I change from AHCI? through the BIOS, I don't see any indication in the BIOS
  I read all disks to increase performance by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller

  > wand to increase its performance and the Firmware upgrade by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller
  May I ask if you are sure that something like this exists? I've never heard any update firmware for the IDE controller.

  Of course, you can update the BIOS and can install the SATA drivers that control the HARD disk controller, but you won't find any update of the firmware.

  > I read all disks to increase performance by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller
  I know such option is available, not for all laptops and it is available only with the Phoenix BIOS.
  The G50 supports Toshiba BIOS and the HARD drive controller is always to SATA (AHCI).
  This means that you can not change it to IDE, and so the performance can be reduced or increased.

  In order to install a new OS, you must eat of storage which includes SATA drivers.

• Studio XPS 8100 - how to remove the cover of the modular Bay?

  I would remove the plastic cover of the modular Bay on the front of my venerable Studio XPS 8100 so I can install a USB 3.0 3.5 inch hub instead. However, I can't find instructions for it. In fact, I can't find any description of how to use the modular Bay.

  To start: how to remove the cover plastic modular Bay?

  Also: If someone has found the instructions on how to insert a player or another device in the modular Bay, I would be glad to know where I can find them.

  Hello rdunnil

  I took off the glasses and I saw how the metal plate is attached. Applying light pressure with a screwdriver flat head will do the job. Exchange on USB 2.0 ports would also work: I found directions for the removed from their metal case. Whatever it is, I'm all set. Thank you for pushing me in the right direction. It is much more valuable than the useless, generic link you gave me.

• Stops randomly on the new desktop Studio XPS - 435 t/9000, please help!

  My parents spent an obscene amount of money on their computer, however, some being computer illiterate they needed me to help out, which I'm all too happy to talk. So here's the problem, the card will be at the end.

  As long as they have had this computer there randomly stop, little by little is that after large amounts of time to be under a light load (I would say 25% of capacity). He would not give an error or close the problems one by one, power, and everything shuts down (turns screen black computer is silent). He tries to return as if you were starting a shutdown computer about 5 seconds after it turns off.

  I thought it was overheating, so I installed a few programs of the manual fan control and ran a few tests with Prime95 torture. Overheating shutdown for CPU was at 90 c, but since the computer is idling at 36 and 62 max on a charge is no longer me, overheating is the problem. So the only thing I can think of that might cause the problem is the power supply.

  It was a costly computer and I do not want my parents wasted their money on it, any suggestion/help will be greatly appreciated , because I'm stuck and do not want to tell my parents to buy a new PSU, if this isn't the correct answer to this problem.

  Any other information needed is provided if I can find a way to find it on request.
