Hey forumers, I need some help here unsure.gif
The hard drive in my XPS 15 L501X has been having some problems since the past few months.
I've been facing occasional problems like sudden unresponsiveness, CPU spikes (like suddenly lagging for a moment while watching vids),
and getting bluescreen after waking from sleep mode shakehead.gif

So, i've been using HDDScan ever since i got this laptop more than a year ago, and i realised that ever since the "Current pending errors count"
entry on the SMART scan appeared, my laptop has been facing more and more problems, such as the ones i said above.
The current pending errors count has been rising slowly every once in awhile icon_question.gif

Plus, there was once about 3 months ago when i woke up in the morning and couldn't boot into windows. The laptop would just be stuck at the windows7 boot logo.
I had to format and reinstall Windows to get it running again doh.gif

(p.s. i have NEVER dropped my laptop before)

I don't think dell will offer a hard drive change for me since my warranty has expired since december 2011 cry.gif

I went to Dell's support website to diagnose the hard drive problem, and here are the results. Along with the results of the S.M.A.R.T Scan too.

What should I do now? Is there any way i can get Dell to exchange my hard drive?
I've tried contacting them once but they said they would not change the hard drive until it fails.
I'm definitely going to switch to an SSD once the hard drive fails completely. But i probably won't do that until the hard drive fails on its own rclxub.gif

it depends on what u wan to do.....professional edition is more for business whereas home premium for home user.. however i dont find any diff for normal usage anyway...

Prefer to use 64 bit over 32bit... Since most most the apps is already supporting 64bit and 32 bit might limit ur ram around 3gb due to 32bit limitation

Xps series don't not come with a backlit keyboard, right?

Or have I missed that option to load the XPS with the backlit keyboard?
