Hey everyone... does anyone have any recommendations for a solid program? Ideally something I can grab via torrent if possible, just to give my laptop a bit of a deep clean. It’s not exactly dying on me or anything, but Google Chrome keeps freezing out of nowhere, and I end up having to force an End Task more often than I'd like... annoying. I've already got CCleaner, some anti-Malware stuff, and Norton installed, but maybe there's something else... just looking for a good tool I can let run in the background to scrub things down and get rid of whatever junk is hanging around. Even though I try to stay on top of it with what I have now... anyway, thanks
So, the issue is I just moved and right now I don't really have anyone around to... you know, give my stuff to... so I'm looking for some advice. What do you guys think about this list of drivers I'm missing? Should I go ahead and scavenge them from the Dell website?
About 10 minutes ago, I went ahead and installed that first Audio controller, then rebooted my laptop, and... yeah, Startup Repair showed up immediately. I managed to fix it by basically rolling back—uninstalling that last driver—and now the laptop actually boots up normally.
What do you guys think I should do about the rest of these drivers? Where’s the best spot to grab them and how should I handle it? Because right now it keeps telling me I'm missing...
So, I snapped some photos of what this Blue Screen of Death is throwing at me, just so you guys can actually see what's going on... I'm dropping the image links here—sorry if this isn't really how things are done around here, but for some reason, the site just won't let me upload anything, no matter how much I shrink the files...
it keeps popping up on my screen whenever I boot up... i didn't really pay much attention to the specifics this time, but next time i fire it up i'll definitely take a look at that list down there.
So, I've got more bad news... tried putting my laptop into hibernation last night and it just hung there forever before hitting me with that same blue screen of death again. Now, when I boot it up, it keeps throwing a black screen at me with the option to go into Safe Mode...
I ran a driver scan and it says there are 14 updates waiting. Does anyone know which program I should actually use to download them all?
It's a Dell Inspiron running macOS. I honestly never had a single issue with this thing until I actually sat down and wrote about it, which prompted me to finally... yeah, update all those drivers. There were so many of them. The blue screen isn't popping up anymore, but now I'm noticing this other weird thing. Like, when I unplug it from the wall—so the battery is still in there, obviously—the screen brightness just keeps fluctuating on its own. I went into the Settings and cranked the brightness up, but it still does it. It’s not even a huge deal, just annoying... it dims and brightens every 4 or 5 minutes 😵 so, what's the deal here? any idea what I should do... 🤦
And about that blue screen, looks like it really was just the drivers after all. Nothing majorly broken, unless this brightness thing is some new disaster?? thanks to both of you..
Sandra Cook60, regarding that car update you mentioned... you just buy it and drive. I mean, if they're putting in new parts, it's basically an upgrade, right? I don't believe things just work better on their own just because they're new, even if 😁 you always have to keep adding stuff, keep updating... hm..
Hey, so I've got this Dell laptop and today, for the first time ever, I'm getting this weird error whenever I try to shut it down... it just takes forever to actually turn off. Since I can't really upload the photo I took to show you guys what's happening, I'll just type out the error message itself... I'm pretty sure someone here has seen this before. Basically, I get this blue screen and the error says DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.
Everything's been totally fine with this thing until today, so this is a first... anyone have any advice or know how I can fix this? thanks a bunch..
Hey guys, does anyone have a link or maybe a torrent for an old version of Office 2007? Ideally a bundle that includes 2003 too... I just can't deal with this annoying pop-up window in the attachment anymore. It pops up every single time I open a file and honestly, the constant waiting is driving me nuts...
