OK guys...I got a good one for you...I have a brand new Dell Inspiron 3847...64 bit and running Win 7 Ultimate...have the latest BIOS and all the latest drivers and it's running a Intel i3 4160 processor...also using everything onboard as far as peripherals (no add on boards). Now...the puter runs great...while running if you re-boot it re-boots just fine...BUT...if I turn the puter off...and then turn it back on...for some reason it takes close to a minute for it to page(recognize) the monitor/keyboard and mouse...(running the same peripherals on another puter all 3 start no prob so I know it's not the monitor/keyboard or mouse.) Called Dell support to no avail ...it's hard to get support from somebody that's reading cookie cutter info from a book and probably has a hard time setting the time on her clock let alone give puter support !!!! You guys have any ideas on this.....I have never run into something like this ?????? Thanks for any help in advance.
Well guys I figured out what the problem was...I had an external USB drive plugged in so I could do a scheduled weekly backup...somehow this was confusing the BIOS....so all's well...sorry for wasting your time...but maybe this might help someone else out n the future...who knows...thanks guys
You have to watch what's in the USB ports if you have weird system problems. I was trying to re-install Windows 7 on a Dell laptop and got a BSOD twice. Then I noticed a small Microsoft wireless mouse dongle in one of the USB ports. Removed it and the Windows 7 install went smoothly. No more BSOD's since. Who would have thought a Microsoft mouse dongle would cause a BSOD, but it did.
No good bro...tried that... still had the same prob...no biggie though...I just installed a spare HD in the case and now all's good.
Yes...I updated it to A08 when I bought it last week...have you heard of any prob's with this version ?
