    dell xps laptop only works in safe mode

    Thanks again for the replies. JC, I did try disabling the video cards (both of them) and rebooting, and no change. After further consultation, I decided to just go ahead and reinstall the OS. Realizing it could take many more hours trying to chase down the driver issue, it seemed the best...

    dell xps laptop only works in safe mode

    Thanks for the replies. I ran chkdsk, and it didn't find anything and no change. I will probably try the clean boot option tonight, and if that fails to correct it, will then go to the "nuclear option" with the factory image restore. He probably has a whole lot of garbage on it that needs to...

    dell xps laptop only works in safe mode

    My son's Dell XPS L501X runs super slow (like not at all) unless it is in safe mode with networking. In that way it seems to run fine. I have tried system restore at different set points and nothing there seemed to help. I have also run Microsoft's system scanner from a USB stick and it...

    500~600 Dollar Laptop

    I just had one of these delivered.: http://www.techbargains.com/news_displayItem.cfm/270667 It seems to meet most of your specs. Unless you want something smaller and more portable. The 17" screen and 1600x900 resolution is pretty nice, and discrete video card with 1 GB memory is nice too...

    $150 upgrade?

    Sorry, He uses it for light gaming mostly Star Craft 2 and Counterstrike Source, L4D2, etc. as well as schoolwork and surfing the web, facebook. etc. No heavy duty encoding or CAD or anything like that. I just noticed today that L4D2 was laggy in some spots, and would like to at least get him...

    Why does everyone keep recommending the 5750

    Maybe because the 5750 is cheaper, fast enough, draws less power and is compact enough to fit in smaller towers. That is why I bought mine. It certainly was a nice step up from the HD4670 that I had before.

    -upgrade from HD4670?

    Thanks, Blanketyblank. I just hope I won't be uttering variations of your nickname when I try to install the 5750. I was leaning to the 5750, but was almost swayed by the PCGamer magazine which rated the 4770 slightly ahead of the 4850. And I also figured the drivers for the 4770 would be...

    -upgrade from HD4670?

    After further research, (my kids PCGamer magazine, and other graphics card websites), I have narrowed it down to the ATI Radeon 4770 or the newer ATI Radeon 5750. I like both of their low power demands, and both should be a nice upgrade, performance wise to the 4670...
