• 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?

• Question of graphics Dell Studio XPS 8100

  I plan to upgrade my desktop computer Dell Studio XPS 8100 with a new graphics card, so that I can play new games such as Skyrim and Star Wars the old republic.

  Can someone tell me which of these cards is best for this purpose, corresponds to my computer and if other changes are needed (ideally no)?

  EVGA GTX 550 VGA (GDDR5, PCI-Express, 2 GB)
  Sapphire 6750 (PCI Express, DDR3, 2 GB)
  Sapphire 6790 (PCI-Express, GDDR5, 1 GB)
  PALIT GTX 550 Ti (GDDR5, PCI Express, 1 GB)

  Thanks in advance,

  Sikkaech

  Based on the recommended for Skyrim card, you will need to go with the HD 6790 or GTX 550 it.  However, your biggest problem is food that is only 350 watts.  For all these cards, a higher power is recommended by the manufacturer.  The HD 6790 is the best on the list with the GTX 550 Ti in 2nd.  I'll take the other two on your list because they would fall the recommended card, but they would always play the games.   I would recommend if you upgrade the power supply to go with a unit of minimum mark of 500 watts with the necessary connections.

  Skyrim recommended card: 1 GB RAM NVIDIA or AMD ATI video card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 or higher; ATI Radeon 4890 or higher).  Old video card then the ones I showed would be comparable.

  If you choose not to change your diet, a GTS 450 or HD 6750 can work.  I don't see much interest to get a card of 2 GB to this level.  It's going to be better than GDDR3 memory GDDR5.

• Dell studio xps 1645 sound driver IDT works only when it is installed.

  I have the dell studio xps 1645 with windows 7 home premium 64-bit installed on. I have a problem since I format the laptop and reinstalled windows 7 and driver.

  The problem is that with the IDT sound card driver. When I start up the laptop, I couldn't find any noise until then I install the IDT audio driver which is from the website of dell (dell.com.au) under the drivers of dell studio xps 1645 by download. Sounds appears when I installed this driver, but it is not as it should. I mean whenever I do reboot or turn off and then on the laptop, the sound will not come up to what I do reinstall the driver again. The thing is that I have to reinstall the driver whenever I want to use the laptop. can you help me out of this problem? is there any solution for this? I did some research until I get the way to recover my sound, but yes I'm stuck with this relocation pilot to use sound. I did troubleshooting of windows and he said nothing wrong with it. I'll also technician support close to home and they couldn't find anything wrong. I therefore ask microsoft in the hope that they know the way

  . Thank you.

  Hi Felix,.

  Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of community of Microsoft.

  I understand that the sound of your system plays only after you update the audio drivers. The question could arise due to the installation of the corrupt or incompatible driver package.

  Before troubleshooting, I would like to inform you that the drivers for the model of your system on the Dell Web site are displayed for Windows Vista, by default. So, I recommend you to change the operating system to Windows 7 while choosing for pilots.

  In addition, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1:

  Try running the fixit for audio playback of Windows problems and check if it helps.

  Diagnose and solve the problems of Windows audio playback automatically

  If the problem persists, try the following method.

  Method 2:

  If you have installed Windows 7 drivers from the website and have not properly been able to play the audio, then I suggest you to install the Windows Vista drivers from Dell site in compatibility mode and check for the issue.

  1. Download the Windows Vista driver on the Dell website.
  2. Right-click on the downloaded driver file.
  3. ClickProperties , and then select the compatibility tab.
  4. Check enable the option run this program in compatibility mode for: , then select Windows Vista from the drop down.
  5. Click OK and install the driver.

• Laptop Dell Studio 1555 w / Vista does not wake from sleep when the lid is open.

  I have a laptop Dell Studio 1555 with Vista Premium 64-bit. Until last night, the laptop would run mode standby when I closed the lid and woke up when I opened the cover later. Yesterday I was downloading photos from a Canon camera via USB. I close the lid when I did. When I went to open the cover later the laptop screen remained in black and white. The power button is lit, but the only way I can get to meet is to hold the power button until it turns off completely, and then restart the laptop. A difference when the lid is closed, I think the power button will blink and turn off slowly while he was really in sleep. He remains on all the time now when the lid is closed. I tried to go into power management and put the laptop from sliding when the lid is closed, but has not made a difference.

  Run the system restore and choose a restore point created just before the problem occurred. Steve Winograd, MS - MVP (Windows desktop experience)

  After each start up my Dell Studio 540 with Vista, I get a warning that "Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working.  Although this 'fault' seems to have no obvious effect on the following operations, it is very annoying to have to clear the window.

  Thanks a lot for the guide. Finally, I've identified the problem via the boot as in the NVIDIA driver.  I've now updated that and everything seems to work fine - touch wood!

• 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).

• Evolution of the IDE to AHCI in Studio XPS 1640

  Hello world

  I'm about to clean install Windows 10 on a new SSD.

  How to you switch from IDE to AHCI mode prior to installation on the Studio XPS 1640?

  How to activate the mode of compensation?

  Thank you.

  Hi Stock4j,

  I guess that you have a complete backup of your system drive and files before installing the new drive and the OS.

  To change the mode of the controller SATA, boot in the BIOS (F2). There will be two or three options, ATA, RAID and AHCI. If AHCI is not available, choose the RAID or AHCI.

  You have no need to activate the TRIM. With a clean installation, TRIM should be enabled automatically earn 10.
