hoho..waiting for this.

i hope dell will come out with a long term solution as i can see changing fan behavior is not a long term solution for GPU overheat problem. perhaps, do a recall program to change the motherboard with the right GPU.

lor..like that maybe we should make petition to dell asking to repair the GPU. im afraid after waranty period is over, my xps will be useless. by that time, repairing cost is not an option. considering a new one is much better.

maybe it didnt come with nvidia GPU. im still wondering what should i do for the heat issue of my xps to make sure it can serve me well at least 3 years.

anybody here tried philips noise canceling earphone/headphone? or other brand?

feel like getting one but dont know worth it or not.

mine reaching 5 month. sure cannot get refund isnt it? wat to do, layan je la.

new BIOS ver. A13 is out. download it on dell website.

Fixes/Enhancements
------------------
1. Added support for new versions of Intel CPUs.
2. Added support for 8GB memory.

i just checked dell website, the BIOS A13 has been removed from the list. it revert bak to A12. not sure why.

btw, other few drivers also got update. such as nVidia and UPEK driver(touchreader).

my screen have shown some symptoms of the graphic card failure. will expect total failure nearby. my waranty last till april. the colorful line appear and will hang my computer. but so far it recover after restart.

it is good to get the motherboard replace within waranty period. otherwise will cost me a lot.

which reporting method is more effective? by email or by phone?

what is the dedicated support number for dell xps?

thank you very much

i just got my mobo replaced.

to those who think your graphic start to 'show off', u can diagnose ur graphic by press F12 during switch on. then choose diagnostic on the menu.
by the time the diagnose reach the graphic test, the colorful vertical n horizontal lines appear. it will ask to continue 'lalalalalala'(i dont remember what the system ask). but at the moment, dont press anything, just hold on until the the color lines change to full screen color (color change periodically) at the same time computer will beep loud. just let it be..until error message appear.

this is what dell ask me to do when i called them to report. if your computer graphic got problem, during the test, u will see the lines or maybe jiggered screen or something unusual. then u know what to do. call dell!

my warranty last until this april. but extended warranty for nvidia issue until april 2010. so, i dont think i need to sell my unit. just use it untill 2010. by that time i am sure there are a lot to choose for replacement. hehe.

what i said about my warranty before is confirm by dell. during my call for report, i ask them about extended warranty info and it is +ve.


//my normal working temperature for nvidia is 75deg.
wonder how long this new mobo will last.

does ur xps still under extended waranty for graphic faulty? if yes, u can still get the mobo replaced for free. and yes with the same spec ( cannot change to non-nvidia)
