Video commentary of XPS-13 (9343)

I used my new XPS13 for a few days (version i3) and the graphics look unusually rough against my Precision 390 about 10 years. Are the new laptop graphics really not to my old desktop graphics card performance (FireGL V3400, I think) - or have I missed something? I really don't think that the speed of the video is much better than my old Asus netbook...

What is a Windows thing? A graphics card thing?

Precision 390 XP with 4 GB of RAM

XPS-13 Win 8.1 running

In general, I'm happy with the new computer (it's a beautiful thing) - but am I asking too much to be able to watch Youtube videos?  I can live with some slow... but the videos are virtually unwatchable. I had more accidents today in Firefox than in my previous life.

I does not solve the problem. The problem (for me at least) was the computer is limited to approximately 0.6 GHz speed from the factory to run at 2.2 (I have an i3). If you do some research, there is a thread on this forum that talks about this problem.

This seems not to be intentional Dell, since they have released an update of the bios that solves the problem.

Your solution (if this is indeed the problem) is either:

1. update your Bios to A03 (search on Dell.com this) - which corrects this problem. The A03 update updated my computer with A01, A02, as well...

.... Or...

2. to set manually is easy. Go Power Options | Advanced options for the power management that you use and then scroll to "Intel platform thermal and dynamic framework parameters. Open it and then open "Config TDP level" and you will see 2 options (at least on the i3 without Bios Update)... one for 0.6 GHz and 2.2 GHz. If the 0.6 GHz option is selected change to option 2.2 - and your problem is solved! This is what works for a model i3... I can't speak for i5s or i7s.

I hope this helps...

  • XPS 13 (9343) crashes minutes after the start of

    A week ago, my Dell XPS 13 running Windows 8.1 suddenly stopped working about 1-3 minutes after the start, then rebooted - just to keep crashing and restarting after a few minutes. Unable to understand what caused the problem, I did a clean install of Windows 10; that is, fitness and installing W10 bootable USB drive.

    After installing a few Dell drivers (wifi, video, sound), the problem returns. Same question; After connection, Windows seems to start as usual, then crashes after 1 to 3 minutes.

    The system is a Dell XPS 13 (9343), i7-5500, 512 GB SSD, QHD touchscreen.

    TIA for any help.

    -Robert

    The memory on this model is welded in - it cannot be deleted.

    If you haven't run a complete diagnosis of the hardware, F12 repeatedly at startup will help you do.  You can also watch to see if you have crash dump files (WhoCrashed is a good utility for their sight-reading).

  • Intermittent no audio on XPS 13 9343 (2015)

    I am facing a problem where about 50% of the time that I start my XPS 13 9343, I have a red X on the "speaker" icon and no audio.  If I have the mouse on the icon it says "no audio output device is installed".

    Looking at the HW Realtek Audio Codec in the Device Manager, it says:

    This device cannot start. (Code 10)

    {Operation failed}
    The requested operation failed. »

    After seeing this, I uninstalled and deleted the driver through Device Manager.  I reinstalled the driver from the Dell website (9343_Audio_Driver_X22K2_WN32_7422.118.0_A01. (EXE).  I always feel the question.

    Anyone who sees the same thing?

  • Format and reinstall Windows 10 - Dell XPS 13 9343

    Hello

    I have a Dell XPS 13 9343 provided with windows 8.1 and I have upgraded to windows 10.
    I would like to format and do a clean install of windows 10 and after that to create a dual boot with ubuntu.
    I don't want to retrieve anything, just in any format.
    My question is:
    1. What is the best way to do it? Is there a preparation necessary before formatting (except backup)? If anyone can point me to a relevant detailed guide, it will be great.
    2. do I need to care that I want to install ubuntu in dual boot, when I format and install windows? Or just to install after windows is already installed?
    Thank you.

    10 Windows will recreate all the partitions it needs. If you want to save your old settings factory Dell backup and restore use to make a bootable USB:

  • XPS 13 (9343) driver issues

    Hi, I am trying to install drivers for the XPS 13 (9343). It is a failure if I add chipset drivers and a few others as well. I was doing this thanks to import drivers and implementing the pilot packs.

    When I took the chipsets and the other couple, there is no shortage. So, I packed installs it, but those who are too flawed.

    In fact, can you tell me what I need to do in order to integrate all the drivers for this particular model?

    Hi David,

    Are you using the ImageAssist tool for your image capture / restore process?  Sometimes I see messages in this forum to ImageAssist of users who are not using the ImageAssist tool for their image capture / restore.  If you are using ImageAssist, can you please give the steps you do?  Also, which CAB driver are you using?

  • Dell XPS 13 (9343) touchpad scrolling speed.

    Hello

    So I just took my brand new Dell laptop XPS 13 (9343) today and everything works perfectly. The only problem I have with it at the moment is the speed of the touchpad, because I believe that it is too slow for my taste. I can't find the touchpad settings in the Control Panel, I can't find any drivers concerned for the model I have.

    Is it possible to increase the scrolling speed?

    Holy *...

    In fact, I have an answer for this question...

    Normally I do not have...

    Just stumbled on this one on another site...

    The setting of the speed of the trackpad is actually used for the speed of the mouse.  For example, to increase the number of lines to scroll to the mouse and it affects the speed of scrolling for the trackpad...

    Voila!

    It works...

    I just got my new XPS 13 9343 fresh from the boat from China and most of the software, I installed has problems with the resolution of the screen. System Mechanic (14.5); TeamViewer; GoodSync - all have problems. TeamViewer screens are unreadable!

    This is a serious issue! I don't see what is the simplest solution to this problem - it should be down to all publishers of software, when it's obviously a hardware problem!

  • Yet another customer unsatisfied XPS 13 9343 touchpad

    I want to add my voice to the chorus that the touchpad on the XPS 13 9343 (early 2015) gives me fits. I installed the BIOS A01, did not help significantly.

    1. Cursor jumps around under palm ghost touches, even without touching the touchpad
    2. sometimes unable to leave his right hand on the pavement and let button to work with the left hand
    3. sometimes is unresponsive for several seconds. especially vertical scrollbar in Firefox
    4. cursor jumps on the two right and left clicks, often by clicking the wrong button in the process
    5. occasional clicks ghosts when you pull the mouse on the page

    The XPS 13 is a beautiful notebook.  He really need an app fully featured touchpad to set the sensitivity and eliminate too sensitive behaviors.

    By the waay, types also sometimes double keyboard.  Another feature that should be easily resolved with a period of repetition that does not exist.

    Brabian

    Your best bet is to send it back while you still can and are looking for another machine but not from Dell.

    Look at the spectrum by HP for example, it seems to have the same features and cost much less. Search the touchpad before buying.

    Dell has knowledge on touchpad problems for a while and has had plenty of time to give us pilots and a screen put up so that each person can adjust the touchpad to his personal preferences. But in my opinion reason he hangs out and do not admit there is a problem means that Dell is not going to solve the problem.

    Some even want to blame Microsoft, compare that to buy a new car and say Ford says go to manufacturing the parts for an item replaced or fixed. Completely ridiculous!

    I paid Dell $1599,00 plus tax and this means that Dell is the responsible party.

    How is it possible that Dell designed, built prototypes and run operational tests on these machines without noticing that the touchpad has so many problems?

  • XPS 13 9343 change the function keys

    I would like to change/disable the function keys on my XPS 13.  All searches on Google I've seen indicate that you can do this via a setting in the BIOS, but the BIOS EFI in my laptop has no entry to change the function keys.  Is there another way?

    OK, finally figured this out... post here so I hope that it helps someone else.

    All my research on this indicated that I had to change a setting in BIOS under the section 'System Configuration '.  Obviously this option asked, at least on the A07 BIOS on my XPS 13 9343.  The option that you need to change is now 'Behaviour of PUBLICATION'.  Select "Options of the FN lock" and make sure that "FN lock is verified (it should be... is the default) then be sure to Lock Mode Enable/secondary is selected.»  It is he who turns off the "multimedia" keys  Enjoy.  :)

  • A confirmed upgrades to the video card for XPS 8500?

    I want to upgrade the video card in my XPS 8500 (currently a 7570). I searched around and literally impossible to find a simple confirmation of a card that suit and will work (not to mention that the other a Dell offers, 7770, I think that it is). I would really fall into a 6850 6870 or 7850 (in the order of less for the most favorite). I found lots of info on cards that work with the old 8300, XPS, which uses the same power supply as the 8500 according to me. However, I'm not sure if the limitations of the space are the same in the case of XPS 8500 compared to the 8300.

    Would appreciate any info. Thank you!

    I don't see why not.  I just installed a R9 Sapphire x 280 in my XPS8500, I have an OC of HD7850 Sapphire.   This card is crazy for a long time.

  • XPS 13 (9343) - unable to upgrade to Windows 10 - error 0xC1900101 0 x 30018

    I have a brand new 13 XPS, 9343 model with i7 processor and 512 GB SSD. I'm still within the period of 14 days, and I'm now seriously returning. I've never known such a load of nonsense trying to install any other piece of software.

    So far, and after many attempts, I was completely unable to upgrade to Windows 10. The first thing I did was to install all the Windows updates available for 8.1 (there were 79 of them), and immediately after that I started the saga to install Win10. Nothing else has been done to the laptop - no questionable software or USB devices (except the USB boot if necessary). It is in a State of cleanliness.

    -After the download via Windows Update, the installation procedure is INCREDIBLY slow (for example, it takes 36 HOURS to reach 42% completion - and at this point, it hits the error message). What the heck can he do?

    -J' also tried to create a bootable USB drive via the media creation tool. If I boot from the USB key and perform a "clean" installation, it works perfectly: it takes about 8 minutes total (which highlights how ridiculous the 36 hours). However, because it is a clean installation and not an 'upgrade', I find myself with a non-activated version of Windows 10 and I am asked to pay £99.99, I don't intend to do. I paid for the laptop on the understanding, he would get a FREE upgrade to Win10!

    -J' also tried using the USB key (but not the start of it) to perform the upgrade in place - this strikes the same mistake as Windows Update (and taking so long)

    -J' tried to uninstall all antivirus software, and disable all wireless/bluetooth devices before performing the upgrade - nothing of this aid. Because need me 36 HOURS per attempt, it is really not acceptable to try disabling things randomly in the vain hope that it might work correctly.

    When trying to upgrade (i.e. not), I hit an error message "Windows Setup cannot set up Windows on your hardware" or similar. During the recovery after the failure, tool configuration gives the 0xC1900101 error code 0 x 30018 and says it failed in operation 'FIRST_BOOT', the phase SYSPREP. Just make this error message cost me 36 hours of waiting (welcome to the future!), then it would be really helpful if someone could give me a definitive answer on what makes...

  • IPhone headset on XPS 13 9343 portable (2015)

    I got a new XPS 13 and I'm frustrated with the sound installation for services such as Skype. The XPS 13 is a laptop killer but it makes no sense, why the headphone jack (who has a helmet w / photo mic next to him) does not work with the earphones Apple w / a microphone BUT it works perfectly with Skull Candy headphones with a microphone - essentially the same hardware with the same socket and the plug. What is frustrating is that the Realtek Audio console seems catered to Skull Candy that you can actually choose exactly which model using your.

    From what I see Dell is voluntarily making it impossible for users to use the Iphone with microphones headphones. I should be able to plug any handset earpiece/microphone and simply work. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Hi Makij,

    The Apple headphones are specially designed for use in Apple products. I think that the volume control and microphone paths are Apple's patent with specific values to enable specific functions when connected to their fate. Apple earbuds are also wired differently between General helmet. Potentially, that's why you find problems when you try to use their helmet in your XPS13.

    Helmets other manufacturers of work conform to the general specifications of headphones, that's why the Skull Candy headset works fine.

  • buzzing in the video game with XPS 15Z-2015-

    Since a few days, I feel a buzz of half a second when I play a video (let's say a buzz every two minutes). I was digging this forum and found out that something similar happened 3 years (which is the age of my PC).

    I installed the suggested Intel Rapid Storage Technology (even if I don't think I really need it), but the problem remains.

    Can someone suggested where should I look to fix this?

    Thanks :).

    OK, problem solved.

    As someone else mentioned, it was related to the installation of Dell Support help.

    After uninstalling this, the buzz is gone.
