• Inspiron 15R special edition 7520 maximum memory is 16GB not 8GB!

  The information you receive Dell says that the maximum Ram is 8 GB and they don't sell 2 X 8 GB of ram to upgrade. I bought for DDR3 1600 MHz revenge RAM P/N CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10 of CORSAIR and it works perfectly and tested perfectly. I also found a battery 9 cells that is guaranteed to work with my laptop. Dell does not sell a 9 cells for this laptop. I'll give an update on the battery as soon as I get it and test it.

  All 16 GB are appearing in the bios - 16384 MB to be exact.

• How to do a clean install of Windows 7 on Dell Inspiron 7520 (aka Inspiron 15R Special Edition)

  The operating system that are preloaded on my Dell Inspiron 7520 (a.ka. Inspiron 15R Special Edition) is Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium. I have a retail version of Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate and want to do a clean install on my laptop.

  My laptop was able to boot from the retail disk.

  After clicking on 'Install now' and accepted the terms and conditions of Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, I checked the configuration box "Custom (advanced option" in which a new copy of Windows would be installed. The next screen that displayed contained the following bizzare message: no hard drive found. "Click on load a driver to provide a driver for installing mass storage.

  Could someone tell me where and how to find the mass storage driver?

  I am also having exactly the same problem:

  After getting BSOD (indicating iaStor.sys) every 20 minutes or so I decided to format the laptop and install my copy of opportunity of Win7 Pro SP1. I jumped in the Win7 DVD and I saw that the couldn t of windows setup find any HARD drive to install to.

  I downloaded the drivers from Intel (f6flpy - x 64) and them burned on a CD. It took me a few tries (I kept getting error messages), but the computer finally accepted Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller drivers.

  Finally, I could see the readers. So I deleted the partition of 1 TB, created two new partitions (~ 100 GB and GB 890) and clicked on 'format' on two of them.

  But when I tried to select ONE of them as the destination for Windows drive, I received the following message:

  "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3. Details: Windows cannot install to the selected location. "Error 0 x 80300001.

  So now when I turn on my laptop (since there is no operating system or anything), I get a black screen with the following message:

  Windows Boot Manager «»

  Windows could not start; A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

  blablabla (nothing really useful)

  Status: 0xc0000034

  Info: an unexpected error occurred. »

  Before I read this thread I also tried to change the SATA settings to AHCI and ATA, but both STILL produce ANOTHER problem: installing Windows recognises the hard drives, but it never rose from 0% of the phase of "expanding files" installation.

  Please, can anyone help?

• The battery life for inspiron 17r special edition or what to buy for College?

  I am looking to buy a high mid range laptop for College. I need a laptop that can handle games, in addition to other activities of the College. I've narrowed my search up to three computers different portable all pretty much the same price, and now I don't know that we choose. My three choices are the occasional 17r, the xps 15 Inspiron and alienware m14x.

  I'm leaning toward the inspiron because its cheaper than the other two and still a great internals. My only concern is the battery life. The battery is low, and I guess with the i7 and the screen 17 inch hd that the battery of the 17r will be terrible. I need something that's going to allow me to study on campus, if need is and be able to handle the TRIPS would be nice. So my question is... Are their any availble upgraded battery for editing special 17r? I saw a battery 9 cells, but it is not listed specifically as compatible with the Edition special 17r, just a 17r. If there is not, are their suggestions for greater autonomy on the road (without the usual stuff like processes of cutting and dimming of the screen).

  Also, on a related note, the inspiron 17r will be able to manage the game well? I don't need a power plant, but I want something that can handle new games for the next two years even if I have to lower the settings as the games become more intense.

  Hi dtruax,

  After sending two children to College, I went through this twice buying decision. The first thing I will say is that you're probably not going to carry your laptop on campus, almost as much as you think you will. And all equipped with gaps of a computer on campus, 17 "laptop will become quickly apparent. For the most part he'll be back at home. So the battery life is not as important as you might think.

  Regarding the size, two of my students, who initially leaned over to a 17 "machine, were much more happy with a smaller screen (14" for my son, 15 "for my daughter), compared to their classmates with computers laptops 17".

  The three models, the XPS is going to be the best for gaming. But I go back to the advice we have been given. Spend a little less on the laptop and a little more to get a 4 year complete care warranty. Many universities offer a 4 year warranty free and tech support if you buy through their Bookstore, which is what we did.

• Recommended graphics card for HP Pavilion p6644y Special Edition

  I bought the above refurbished PC and love it. The exception is not graphics card for games. He has (1) PCIe X 16 vacant slot and I need to know what (games) graphics card recommend in addition to this power supply upgrade would be needed. I was check merchants online, but there is so much new and all the days to come. I'm leaning towards NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560, which just came out. Please notify. Thank you!

  Titelilidu72200, welcome to the forum.

  I like the graphics cards XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  This preference has come from many years of research and visit the amateur/gamer forums.  This video card requires 500W of power and is 9 "long.  I normally recommend staying less than 9 "long.  This ensures that it will not go in the space provided.

  For what is a power supply, I love OCZ and Corsair.  They are very good amateur/gamer manufacturers.  Their products will provide your system with clean and stable energy.  You must measure the existing PSU and compare them to the one you choose.  This ensures that the other is insert in space.  You can't choose this card, but it's a good example of what you need, except for the length.

• Special Edition of Dell inspiron 17r

  Hello, I just bought a dell inspiron 17r special edition, with a NVIDIA geforce gt 650 m, but when I run the NVIDIA card Board, I am not able to use it with display of how can I put the NVIDIA card to work?

  It should be used by the application.  What you are trying to do (the nVidia chip by default) cannot be done - the GPU from Intel, by design, is always the default.

• Smart response caching: HARD + SSD on Inspiron 15R drive SE, mSATA value SRT, still no button "Accelerate."

  Hello

  This is probably a common problem that has been explained earlier, but I cannot find an answer here-I found describing almost the same question, but still not the same as the son.

  So I have a cool Inspiron 15R SE with pre-installed Windows 8, 1 to HDD and SSD 32 GB on mSATA included for caching purposes. The problem is that, as far as I can see, without acceleration/cache that really happens with my SSD as just another drive.

  In the BIOS my mSATA operation is set to 'Intel Smart Response technology' which seems to be a good option for caching. Looks like on this screenshot I took from another thread, the yellow highlighted option is selected in my system:

  

  But when I boot in Windows 8 and run the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology, I don't see "Accélération" button / tab - as if my drive is not eligible or is in the wrong mode. This is the screenshot of my Intel utility for you to see there is no option to activate the cache:

  

  If it's relevant, my SSD drive appears in my disk management console and is also available as a regular drive in Explorer and other files with a drive letter assigned managers (guess which indicates the acceleration is not in use).

  There is also a Hibernate (8 GB) on this disk partition, but there is still enough for caching (mandatory min 16 GB, 20 GB left) free space. Should I try to disable hibernation? My hiberfil.sys file is on the HARD drive so that probably won't help. Here is a screenshot of another utility pre-installed from Intel, Intel Quick Start Technology Manager, if this might be relevant:

  

  Any ideas are much appreciated, I've been strongly trying this additional disc and it was actually the main reason for me to choose this particular laptop model. It's a shame, I can't use it for some reason any.

  Thank you very much!

  I found the answer. To activate the acceleration must be no. PARTITIONS on the SSD drive even if it is still not enough allocated space.

  If the partition of QuickStart technology, with that my laptop came prevented Rapid Storage to accelerate.

  After I deleted all partitions on the disk, it worked.

  If you still need the partition of quick start or for other purposes, you can specify less space for acceleration during the installation and create your partition later.

• Inspiron 15R SE 7520 video card problems

  Dear DELL,

  This is a story of love at first sight, a happy period of parade and then heartbreak. When shopping for a new laptop, I fell upon a jewel of one. display 1080 p MATTE? Check. Zippy image Ivy Bridge CPU? Check. Clean, dedicated GPU? Check. Large amounts of RAM? Check. HARD drive tough? Check. FOUR USB 3.0 ports? Check. Optical disc (call me old-fashioned)? Check. Decent price tag? Check (after rebate online). Didn't hesitantly does not, I immediately bought an Inspiron 7520 home in July of 2012. At first, everything was a lot. I had a wonderful relationship with my laptop. The AMD Radeon HD M 7730 run latest games on medium to high heat, as long as I was not too hard with the resolution. Ultra high heat were out of the question, but I was fine with that. Of course, if DELL had to procure a 7750M or a 7770M, things would have been even more pink. Ah, good times!

  As they say, all good things have an end. This relationship that bordered on perfection did not last long. In October of the same year, a tragedy struck. My baby was delivered with Win7 Home Premium 64-bit, but since I am eligible for the purchase of Win8 at a subsidized price, I went for him just after launched Win8. Initially, I had been suspicious of the upgrade because I was afraid that there would be problems of compatibility with my existing games (I have a large library of titles of steam). However, after researching this issue, I discovered that there was not much to fear. WIN8 seemed to be just as good for gaming under Win7 (or even better). So I made the leap.

  And here! Immediately after the installation of Win8, it became clear that DELL had not fully prepared for the influx of new users of Win8 7520. From the beginning, my AMD video card stopped working. Needless to say, it was obviously a driver problem. I'm a patient person. That's why I decided to wait for DELL or AMD released a newer version of pilots 7730M. Because, you know, builders/OEMs need time to do their stuff. And I understood that. Take a few weeks, heck, take a couple of months. So, I want a fully functional GPU again so that I can play games Beyond 800 x 600 on low heat. Now, when I try to open the Catalyst Control Center, it just gives me this error: " " "Catalyst Control Centre cannot be started. Currently, there are no settings that can be configured with the Catalyst Control Center'. Tick, tock, tick tock... Fast forward to today, March 5, 2013, and it's been about half a year what Win8 was created.

  Here's a question, DELL - WHERE ON EARTH ARE THE LATEST DRIVERS for the AMD RADEON HD 7730 M?

  Before any tech support agent gives me an official response asking me to troubleshoot/diagnosis/attempt to repair my system, I'll save you the trouble: don't. Here is a (non exhaustive) list of the steps I have taken in the past half a year to troubleshoot/diagnosis/attempt to repair my system:

  -I went through the whole process "devmgmt.msc".

  -J' I updated my version of .NET for the last.

  -J' downloaded and installed ALL the latest drivers for BIOS, GPU, WLAN, USB 3.0, memory card reader, and even, you name it. Yes, not even the latest GPU drivers on your work site. The 7730M does everything just quite Win8. This means that the two latest drivers are not later, or that you have published a very sloppy update that probably made things worse rather than improve it.

  -J' checked multiple for a line (beginning with DELL) for corrections.

  -J' visited the site Web of AMD and unacceptable, specific Win8 for 7730M drivers have not been released yet. Worse yet, it seems that they have not committed to a schedule for updating their drivers!

  -J' tried to install different versions of drivers of M 7730, none has made a difference.

  -I probably did some other things but I do not remember anything else right now.

  Look, it's very simple, DELL. On behalf of all THOSE who have purchased the 7520 from you (and I know that he is a popular model), we are sick and tired of waiting for an update of the simple driver! If AMD can not get their shit right, move them, push, force to! You have a business relationship with them, but you also have a relationship with us, your customers. If you indeed treat us like your valuable customers, so please, please, please, please, please, just publish this update of elusive driver that reactivates the GPU in our 7520, if running on Win7 or Win8. It is a shame for me; In fact, I took the time to type this essay just to release all my pent-up frustration.

  Finally, I got it with not be able to enjoy something that I legitimately own the way I want. If you don't sort this issue as soon as possible, I give you my word, I don't have to buy another DELL again. Do not respond to this letter by means of a useless official response you give to each complainant unique, I like to take concrete measures. Also, I don't want to go down to Win7 I like Win8, so this isn't an option as well. This issue has climbed out of control - simply by looking at the number of threads complaining about this same exact thing makes me want to pull out my hair. Once more, on behalf of all Inspiron 15R SE 7520 owners, I beg DELL and/or AMD to lead to a permanent solution to this problem quickly. Pretty please?

  Yours sincerely,

  An extremely agitated owner Inspiron 7520

  I've been using a n5010 with a core i3 370 m and 4650 m since 2.5 years even if there is an increase in acceptable performance for me: p I know I shouldn't expect to play on the set high in the good fps but it will do the job for me. And Yes, I couldve built much better desktop at the same price, but I'll take it to College for CAD, so there need to be a portable system. Instead, think wait you two months or more for computers laptops haswell will be worh it?

• Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520 - mSATA connection?

  Hello. I have an Inspiron 15R SE here (see code evaluates DNDOM12S.) I understand that there is an internal SATA 2 drive of 1 TB 5400 RPM. The links on the General page to reviews that mention the mSATA 32g so I did not know that the system is apparently came with a disc with an mSATA petition, but is no longer made.

  I would like to install a SSD as I have an insane amount of space NAS.  I would like to know:

  If I get an mSATA system drive I mentioned above will have the correct daughter card / port to install?

  If Yes, I a SATA 3 SSD for faster transfer speeds?

  If not, what is the reference number of the daughter card I need to order and install to use player mSATA?

  Wouldn't make more sense to get a shopping cart for the optical drive and install an SSD there? Is it also a SATA 2 connection or a SATA 3 drive will work in the optical Bay?

  I also thought that I read somewhere that the BIOS cannot be set to boot from the optical drive caddy? Is this true?

  Thanks in advance

  If you order the system with a disk mSATA, the girl will not be in the system.  You need one depends on what model you have - 15R refers to one of several models - 5520, 5521, etc..  You need to find your model number (on the screen of the BIOS, F2 on startup) to find the right part.

  The new model SE 15R will be training mSATA 6G;  most are 3G.

  It is true that you cannot start a drive mounted in an optical bay adapter.

• Inspiron 15R SE 7520 video card does not work after update Windows 8.1

  The internal graphics are Intel HD 4000 and the graphics card is a Radeon HD M 7730. After update for Windows 8.1 almost everything worked, except that it only uses the integrated Intel graphics card. Now, the resolution is not right and parts of the interface Windows look rather mediocre in comparison.

  What I tried:

  • Uninstalling the video card drivers
  • Reinstall the drivers for the video card in Dell
  • Install the latest beta drivers directly on the AMD website
  • Disabling the integrated Intel graphics card
  • Uninstall the Intel integrated graphics card

  So now what?

  Hi all

  After a lot of Googling, got this Dell website which has 8.1 Windows drivers for Inspiron 15R 7520 SE:

  http://FTP.Dell.com/published/pages/Inspiron-15R-se-7520.html#TopSolutions

  After having installed the drivers from AMD & Intel HD4000 for Win8.1 on the site above, blurry of the screen disappeared and catalyst works again!

  Please spread this link autour!  Very weird representatives Dell did not provide this link. Their advice to uninstall drivers / stop windows update does not help.

• "Stop 0x000000A5 the BIOS of the system is not fully ACPI-compatible every time as the installation of a new windows 7 integral over Inspiron 15R N5110.

  Hello

  I have installed Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on many brands of laptops, but when I installed it on Inspiron 15R N5110, (core i5 and 4GBRAM). I faced an error at startup of windows 7 after completing the installation.
  NOTE: When the installation finished and restarted my computer, this window shown to me.
  
  
  
  Two options from the two options above I chose, I found myself with the blue screen:
  
  
  Error blue screen said something these ' BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Contact your system provider for an updated BIOS I don't know what that means and I don't know where is the culprit. I wish I could capture this error screen. However, it is impossible to do because I wasn't the Windows environment. 

  
  

  Even if the error related to BIOS necessary for the update, so how could I update as long as windows has not begun.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Is there something that needs to be configured in the BIOS before installing Windows 7 on Dell laptops.
  I'm quite surprised that the previous system was windows 7, but it was Home Premium.
  
  
  The strangest thing is when I tried to start to repair the disk and even disk instillation of Windows to resolve startup problems, I found that this startup repair couldn't fix problems.
  
  
  When I tried to do these steps:
  
  
  1. Insert your Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer from the CD.
     Note Some computers may require you change basic input/output system (BIOS) settings before you can start the computer from a CD-ROM. For more information about changing the BIOS, see your computer documentation.
  2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
  3. If your computer is configured to dual-boot or multiple boot, select the appropriate installation of Windows XP.
  4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password and press ENTER.
     Note By default, the administrator password is blank in Windows XP Home Edition.
  5. By default, Hiberfil.sys is usually located in the directory root (C:\). At the command prompt, type del hiberfil.sys and then press ENTER.
  6. Restart the computer.
  When I arrived at "system recovery options, I saw that my system is listed, then I chose then, but I found myself with this ' this"system recovery options"version is not compatible with the version of windows that you are trying to fix." Try to use a different compatible with this version of windows recovery disk, even if I'm sure only that the same disk to install windows I have installed since.
  
  
  NOTE: I do not add RAM or other devices. There is a windows 7 Home premium and I just re installed a windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. I don't really know what the previous windows version 7 is 32 or 64 bit.
  I checked the dell forum and I found ' your computer goto your BIOS F2

  That goto advance Select ATA to instead of AHCPI save the setting, and then try to restart your Windows 7

  hope it will work. »

  But he did not AHCPI, but I found AHCI and let ATA instead of AHCI, but no difference that happened.

  Warning: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

  Thank you very much

  I checked this thread, and I found this solves the problem

  I have changed the serial port in the BIOS for 2F8/IRQ3 and I have not had a blue screen since... fingers crossed, it's her!

  But as you know that no matter what BIOS are different from others.

  Thus, I have not found any serial port in the BIOS to be replaced by 2F8/IRQ3

  NOTE: My problem is when you install a new version of Windows.

  In addition, every time a new windows installation 7 and facing the Blue error screen, I started to Macrium Rescue CD and clicked "fix windows startup", and then when restart my windows, I was not facing the the Blue error screen. If windows starts successfully.

  If the blue screen error was tied to the BIOS, the Refelct Macrium rescue CD wouldn't no matter what (not know this problem)

  Hi, I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 15r 5537 and I wanted to know if its possible to install a discrete videocard on this laptop. Appreciate any help.

  Hello Pascale,

  The graphics card in this system is soldered on the motherboard. If you want to upgrade, a whole motherboard must be replaced with a few minor components as heatsink thermal, thermal, etc. The card system is a factory replaceable unit; This is why it is advisable to take the help of an expert.

  Answer please if you have other queries.
