Dell Studio 1557

[altoster]

I´ve just tried it. It didn´t work at all. I was able to open it, but then it made my computer to crash. I tried to change the speed but I could hear any changes on the fan speed.

Any other solution? I also tried speedfan, but it didn´t work.

yes i too didnt find any changes... but my system was stable with any changed setting(fan speed).

hi evryone.I got my 1557 in nov for 61000 INR and right now i'm quite happy with it.

My WEI scores are :
Processor :7.2
ram :7.4
aero :4.9(it was 5 in vista)
Graphics :6.3
HDD :5.9

the system was quite slow when i recieved it so i did a clean install.
after the clean install the system used to become unresponsive at the welcome screen a few times in a week.
If anybody has that problem then its because of the faulty IDT driver that clashes with the fastaccess application or maybe some other application or driver.(Its still fauty BTW)
now the ati issue...the system did had some issues at first but after i modded the ati driver with catalyst 9.12(I know its older version) it was all right.
now i use the new ones provided by dell which i think is again 9.12 but with a new driver.the system hasn't crashed since a month.
i also noticed that the system perfoms much better when its cool.when i placed it in front of ac unit at my home the benchmarking scores in everest improved quite a bit.maybe its bcoz of better multilier due to low temp but it does helps in increasing ur scores or performance.
everythng above was with a02 & a03 bios.
Now after upgrading to a04 my scores in everest have dipped a bit,maybe its bcoz of summers and high room temp now a days,but has anyone else experinced it ?

srry for writing long(my first post).

Was anyone able to fully eradicate the freezing problem by reinstalling windows?

I have no freezing problems.I have done everything with this laptop although it gets hot as hell but no freezing or random reboots.
I also have no problems running any flash videos or games.

I do have a fresh Windows 7 install be it is now a few months old and still doing great.

I reinstalled windows immediately upon receiving the laptop for the holidays. So...you think I should give it another go with a fresh copy? what a pain in the

There is no current software that I know of that controls the fan manually with this setup.

I have tried EVERYTHING.

What is it crashing in?

Seems like pulling the plug in the middle of fullscreen videos. Although since all the driver updates, crashing is MUCH less frequent.

"pulling the plug"

Im guessing you mean pulling the AC power to switch to battery.

I cant say I have tried that yet.


Was it a streaming video from the net or just a video from your hardrive or maybe a DVD?

Let me guess... streaming from youtube?

Me too, I also have tried everything, but I think is impossible to lower the temps when iddle, or surfing the net. Just as I said, when the temperature goes as low as 46ºC, the fan turns off and the temperature goes up. I would love to be able to control the fan, as I think there is no way to lower this temperature.
