Dell Latitude--Loud Noise From Fan/Excess Heat And Screen IS Frozen?
Aug 21, 2012
When booting my Dell Latitude E6410, there is a really loud noise coming from the left side of the computer (what i think is the fan?). It's also very hot and the login screen freezes and I am unable to login)I am however able to login in safe mode no problem and there is no noise or excess heat.I thought that maybe the problem was related to my use of the Anti-Virus program Avast, so I uninstalled and used their uninstall utility.I'm copying my list of installed programs below---I allready cleaned out all of the temp files and deleted anything that seemed iffy or not in use.

I as far as I can remember have never had this loud noose before, but lately for a month or so? Ish? I've been having a series of loud noises from my pc, so loud that I can hear it even when playing BF3 with a headset! And so violent at times I can feel the keyboard vibrating lightly, and if I touch the PC it is vibrating decently softly.I may be wrong but it seems it started after BF3, and thought it might be the fan or my PC really struggling with the game, but it does it even when I'm not playing. It's sometimes just a softer sound, then will accelerate to a "burr, burr, burr" then go full auto into "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" occasionally very loud. So here's the REALLY scary part: while playing Skyrim a very weird thing happened: it stopped. The sound of the game looped into a "drrrrrrrrrr" and I had to hold down the off button. Nothing else did anything. I rebooted and tested it again...sure enough: 30 seconds in I had to do the same thing. I gave it one last chance and decided I would try to discern if it did anything else notable, but the third time it was fine. I left the game open a while to see if it'd do it again, but it didn't.So I'm scared. WTH is wrong with my PC? BTW it is kinda low on disc space...if that matters. Also the disc options are gone when I click on documents under the c drive and stuff...then again I had installed virtual drives..
This problem occurred to me recently, as everytime i boot up my computer, the CPU fan makes a very loud noise and i can see the motherboard having a LED blinking orange. It's gone after a restart of the computer.
today i turned my pc on but got nothing on my moniter tried switching it of and on a number of times,then pulled the main socket from the back then put it back and the pc came on instead of turning the pc of i logged of when i tried logging back on their was this loud ringing noise so i turned it of then went threw the process of unpugging from the mains and re plugging many times
I have a Dell Latitude D630. It goes to the "blue screen" and "crash dumps", every day and sometimes several times a day. What is causing this? The Operating system is Windows 7. Do I just buy a new laptop or what?
I left my computer on overnight, and when I just returned to it I discovered that it had shut down, and when I started it up, I was informed that Windows had just recovered from an unexpected shut down. Though I guess I should mention that the other night, even though I was not doing anything on my computer, a fan was working really hard (loudly), so I just shut it the PC down. I'm thinking it could be overheating, but it is currently quite cold where I am, so it doesn't really make much sense. Here's the details of the error

I just installed Windows 7 on my Dell Latitude D505 and my screen resolution is terrible. I'm having trouble locating the right drivers on the Dell site and to tell you the truth, I don't even know what I need.
When i start my Dell Laptop Latitude E6510 i get no screen. When i connect an external screen i can see the system did start and i waitong for me to logon. While i am starting i also do not see the bios startup on the screen.
I have Dell Latitude D420, Windows 7 Professional was installed few days ago. Since, sometimes, the wireless connection would turn out to be very slow; most of time is normal though. The wireless card is Dell 1490 dual band WLAN mini card. I tried to find a driver to be compatible with Windows 7, but, can't find it. Any suggestion?
I've tried many different beta builds of Windows 7 on my Dell Latitude D610 including and up to build 7229, but they all have the same problem. Everything works great except for the video driver that is downloaded through Windows Update. The video card driver that is downloaded through Windows Udate is the "Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family". Once the driver is installed, and the laptop restarted, everything looks great at the native 1400x1050 resolution until I click on the Start button or fire up IE8. Then the entire screen washes out I can't read anything. It's hard to explain, but basically it looks like the contrast and brightness is turned all the way up and makes the laptop unusuable. I tried downloading the drivers from Dell's website, but they are for WinXP only and I didn't have any luck installing them. I also tried going to Intel's website and looking for a Win7 beta driver for my video chipset but didn't find any.
I have a Dell D600 Lattitude laptop that was running Vista Home Prem.I usually do clean installs but I thought I would give the upgrade option from Vista to 7 a try. Anyways, the upgrade went really smooth. I realize that ATI doesnt support the 9000 series anymore. I was wondering since windows had a driver for the 9000 series for Vista, would it be possible to use that one? The only prob I am having is I cant seem to find the driver anywhere. (googled it etc...) Windows update catalog only lists XP/2000 drivers I dont think I could install the 9000 series driver in XP mode because of WDDM.

When in the docking station (), however I tend do have problems. I thought initially it was just related to the NIC card as it seemed to only start misbehaving under a lot of network activity and disabling the NIC and running only on wireless seemed to fix it.
I have a little hardware problem with my dell, So when the computer is on for (like 4 hours) and when the cpu reaches like 70 a 100% cpu usage the computer is making a weird 'Vwrrrrrrr' noise. the normal noise (when it is just on) is a quiet noise I think it's the fan that makes that noise but I'm not 100% sure so what can it be for sure ? Is the fan broken or should I give it a new layer of thermal paste ??
The Dell I have I bought used off of eBay so I do not have any of the discs. When I turn it on this morning, it has the screen, "windows failed to start....". There was no recent hardware or software change. when I try to run launch start up repair it gives me this message. The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003) <clicked ok> start up repair cannot repair this computer automatically either>>>detail, Start up Reapri Offline. To use System Restore, you must specify which windows installation to restore. Windows cannot check for memory problems. When try to just select Start Windows Normally, it begins and when it gets to the glowing Windows 7 Logo, it freezes with the 4 glowing windows boxes. When I hit F12 and try to go into safemode, it shows a huge list of drivers and then just freezes. I was on something else that I now can't remember and it said "no diagnostic utility partition found." Like I said, I don'thave a CD for this computer.
when i turn on the computer the 1st screen i see it the dell screen and i can see the loading bar load. after it completes it load it goes to a blank black screen with the courser flashing in the upper left corner and thats it.
Is there any way I can have Aero on my laptop?? I cannot give you the specs of the video card because it calls it "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and I have no specific info.. there is also something titles "Video Controller" but it doesn't have the drivers for it.
