What memory did you end up going with? I need to upgrade mine to 16 GB as well to speed things up when I'm running vmware.

I bought Corsair Vengeance, CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10 for USD157 on eBay (incl. USD40-something for express freight). Unfortunately, the seller I bought from has none left.

Did you make a backup? You can use it to boot off.

@techodac

are you sure that line isnt included at the image itself?

try pick paint, and make a black picture, and then set it as background image to check if the image still there

do the same with grey color.

i checked with the gray it is still there so it is not with the image it is some display issue i guess...please suggest a soluton

is the machine still covered by warranty?
its sounds like hardware issues for me (screen or gpu probably)

Hello owners of DELL XPS

i am planning to buy a new xps 15.

in case of laptops, i am mainly concerned about the laptop getting heated and shutting down (my old hp compaq would not stand half hour of counterstrike :P)

so, can you please tell me if you have had issues of overheating while playing games for a long time (maybe 3-4 hours at a stretch)?

also, what i want to know is how long will the xps live before it dies out?

thanks in advance

I have not had such issues, even when gaming for extended periods of time. But others have. As far as I've read, most have been able to fix this with repasting the cooling rig.
