I have a DELL N7010 inspiron which is fine with the OEM ver of Windows 7 home pre.But when i installed ultimate 64bit the WLAN drivers dont do anything , I have no WLAN detects h/w but no driver.tried installing drivers from dell but still nothing,
I am having difficulty reformatting my dell n7010 windows 7 64 bit os. when I get to the disk management it wont allow me to select format C: drive, it will only allow me to format the recovery drive.
I succesfully installed Win 7 x64 today to my new computer, but the problem is that I don't find or have drivers for my USB WLAN-adapter Buffalo WLI-U2-SG54HG.
I tried to find Vista x64 drivers, but without success. Do I have to change my OS to x86 or buy a new adapter?
And as a result my wireless will not work. I just don't get it. The Vista drivers won't work, the optional Windows Update that would install the proper driver won't work, nothing works. What am I to do?
This is not a typical BSOD crash. My Dell Inspiron's monitor intermittently doesn't wake up once power management shuts it off. The problem is monitor doesn't fully shut off. One way to know the monitor won't wake up is when the CPU is griding away, fan is on full blast, laptop heated up, monitor still has a faint white brightness but no disk activity. I have tried connecting the laptop HDMI and VGA output different monitors and TVs but the monitor/ TV doesn't recognize any input signal during this phase. Yesterday, CPU suddenly started griding away without a pause while I was working and the base plastic was so hot I couldn't place it on my lap anymore. System Idle was 95-99%; I wanted to check whether laptop will not wakeup after power management kicks and this morning I couldn't wake up the laptop and had to cold boot it
I cannot put my laptop to sleep or hibernate when this occurs, the computer will just keep griding away with fan at full blast but will never hibernate or sleep.
I've run chkdsk, defrag etc but no issues were reported. I have checked for viruses etc, nothing obvious.
I have never installed a new os from start. Do i need to download drivers for my mobo ready for a fresh windows7 install?Or does it find them automatically on the windows disc? Or online later? I have drivers on disc for all other hardware, but not mobo.
I'm trying to get a new windows 7 computer to connect over WLAN, but am having a really frustrating experience. Paid a fortune for it and after 2 days I find that the manufacturer does not install WLAN unless specifically ordered. An atrocious sob and am sure will never again buy anything from them..Finally, I bought a Wireless USB to enable wireless connectivity with a driver CD etc., but the darned thing is still not working although it can now after a severe birth, "see" the networks in the locality. After running the troubleshooter, it keeps repeating that it cannot connect to the specified network!
I use a RT61 wlan card for which the winupdate got a new driver just a week ago.Now everytime i try to copy something to my second computer which is VistaHomePrem sp1, my computer freezes with no event log message.Everything else works fine (fe. uTorrent, emule, www, etc.).
