• Dell Latitude D820 RAM 1 GB upgrade to 2 GB problems

  Hi, if anyone can help or knows of a quick solution to this it would be very useful.

  I recently ordered 2 x 1 GB DDR2 PC2-5300 667 Modules of logical Orca for a Dell Latitude D820. Memory is spec'd by them as being what is needed for this specific upgrade. My Latitude is running Vista Business.

  I replaced the 2 x 512 MB with the new memory modules and turned on the computer. Initially, I get three lights next to the power button, two of which are in the red. Then the computer shuts down. Then, after a few trys, I get up a boot but the computer complains that memory has changed, and then continues in windows. At this point, things get a bit wobbly. Some apps crash and I have corrupted registry errors.

  So I put the old mem in and all is well. I then exchange the modules into the slot in the bottom and it seems not to work while the other is fine. Later, everything now run with an old module and a new 1 GB 1.5 GB, the computer begins to complain again. So now, I seem to have two modules that don't work. Update the BIOS to version 9. Still no luck.

  Beyond specing DDR2 PC2-5300 when you order the memory is there anything else I should consider? Does anyone know if this is common? Orca wanted modules to test so I went back to them but they say if they are ok then I'll receive a replacement pack identical to before - potentially giving me the same result.

  If someone could offer some advice that would be great.

  Thank you

  I HAVE A VERY OLD DELL LAPTOP THAT WILL NOT START ALL THE TIME, AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT LOOKS LIKE SA WORKS VERY HARD!

  It seems that two things must happen... Three if you don't have good backups (it would be the first thing * if * you have not any outside of the machine.)

  (1) the material must be tested.  By restarting and pressing the combination of keys at the right time could test the hard/readers/speed control (CTRL + ALT + D, on a dell computer before starting at startup of Windows.)  For other tests - Dell probably put on a partition or sent a CD with the machine that allows you to perform a battery of tests on the... video, audio equipment, etc.

  (2) a restoration clean install a factory should probably be made * if * hardware testing are in agreement.  You could probably clean the machine by following the steps I'll give you - but knowing no more about the problem that we are so far... If that does not better... it's perception, or something so serious, that a clean install is probably the only real 'next step '.

  (And if the new facility does not solve it and analysis of material found nothing - that's the perception, or something (material) defective which is not be picked up).

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

• I want to install Windows 7 on a Dell Latitude D820 laptop. What is the status of having drivers required, as Dell does not offer any on their support site for Windows 7 on this model?

  Whenever I install Windows XP on it, I have to go to the Dell support site and get the chipset drivers Intel, network, audio and video for all the work.  XP is the original version, and then I have to install the SP2, SP3 followed.

  Should I do the same thing during the installation of Windows 7?  Get the drivers for the various components to work?  Or Windows 7 will make installation much simpler?

  Hello GJ_IJBC,

  Your best option will be to run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.  This will give you a screen that will tell you which drivers will be required as appropriate with what program incompatibilities there might be.

I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.

  Disable the antivirus software:

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
