      Dock,

      We're sorry to hear about the issues that you had with your first computer purchase. If you have Blue Screen Errors in the future you can diagnose them with these steps:

      1. At the desktop, click the Search the web and Windows box and type "problem reports".
      2. Select View all problem reports to view a list of errors that have occurred on your computer and possible solutions for them, such as updating drivers, flashing your system BIOS, or checking for updates to the software.
      3. Under the Source column, look for Windows and under Summary, look for Shut down unexpectedly.
      4. Right-click the line item and select Check for a solution.

      We'd also suggest checking to make sure that your software and drivers are up to date on Dell's Product Page - https://dell.to/2LBc0Up.

    Bought the computer on Jul 27, 2020. After one week of using it, the computer would not boot up. Being patient, Instead of returning the product before Best Buy return policy expires, I contacted the Dell Technician. We tried for more than 2 hours to fix the problem. Dell tells me that they were going to call me back with a resolution. Waited a couple of days to tell me that I needed to send the computer to a repair center via FEDEX. It took a WHOLE month to conduct the repairs. I've just got the computer back with the same problem and now I am unable to return it and get my money back!!! This is plain robbery. Dell wants the computer back to try to fix it again and will not replace it with another one. DO NOT BUY DELL Products ever again.

      Janice,

      We're sorry that your desktop did not get the internet speed that you were hoping it would. Perhaps you could try this solution:

      1. Download and install the latest Wireless Card driver. (https://dell.to/2th3Tpe) After updating the driver, re-establish the connection with the Wireless Access Point and check the wireless performance.
      2. If the issue persists, proceed to step 3.
      3. Power-cycle the local network. Shut down the Dell system, the Wireless Access Point/Router and the Modem. Wait a minimum of 60 seconds before powering up the components in the following order:
      4. Power ON the Modem, and wait for it to boot fully.
      5. Power ON the Wireless Access Point/Router, and wait for it to boot fully.
      6. Power ON the Dell system.
      7. Open Network and Sharing Center
      8. In the left side navigation pane, click on Change Adapter Settings
      9. Right click on the wireless connection icon and select Properties followed by the Configure button
      10. Under Wireless Options, select the Wireless N mode
      11. For Windows 8 or later systems click the Advanced tab and look for 802.11n Mode on the right you will be given the option to Enable or Disable. If the mode is not visible you may need to update your drivers and firmware.
      12. From the drop-down menu, choose Disable followed by Ok
      13. This should restore the wireless download and upload speed. Internet speed can be tested at http://speedtest.net.

      Hey John, we can understand you aren't completely sold with the Inspiron from the sluggish speeds you've been facing. We'd like to assist.

      Please download the BIOS update:
      1. Restart the system and press F12 when the Dell Splash logo appears to display the One Time Boot Menu.
      2.  Using arrow keys, select USB Storage Device and press Return
      3. The system will boot to a Diag C:\> prompt
      4. Run the file by typing the full filename e.g. O9010A12.exe and hit Return
      5. The BIOS Update Utility will load, follow the instructions on the screen. 

      We welcome you - at your convenience - to call our tech support at 1 (800) 999-3355 and thanks for the review.

      Dellbuyer,

      Thanks for your review. We're happy to hear that your computer is working well for you. If you'd like to troubleshoot your computer when it freezes you can follow these steps:

      1. Turn off your Chromebook, then turn it back on.
      2. Close all your apps and browser windows.
      3. If a specific tab in your browser causes your Chromebook to crash or freeze, hard refresh the page: Ctrl + Shift + r.
      4. If you've installed any new apps or extensions recently, uninstall them.
      5. Reset your Chromebook.
      6. Recover your Chromebook.

      Hello Ismail,

      We're sorry to hear that your computer keeps freezing on you. In the future we'd recommend trying the following tips:

      1. Run a Computer Diagnostic. To determine if your computer is experiencing a hardware problem, run the Dell Preboot System Assessment (PSA) Diagnostics. For information on how to run Diagnostics, and to determine the issue, refer to Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2iaiujA.
      2. Check Safe Mode for Symptoms. To boot into safe mode, please follow the instructions below:
      a) Start the computer.
      b) Tap 'F8' on the keyboard immediately and every one second until the Dell logo screen disappears. From there you will see the Windows Advanced Options Menu on the screen. (If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, restart the system and try again.)
      c) Select Safe mode with Networking and press Enter.
      d) Log on as the administrator or as a user with administrative access.
      e) Open applications and test the computer in safe mode. If the symptoms exist in safe mode, please continue the troubleshooting steps in this article. If the symptoms do not exist in safe mode, the issue is likely related to a driver or software and you may wish to complete step 3 to see if you are able to resolve the lockups or freezing.
      3. Check for Malware. Malware (Virus, Spyware, etc.) can definitely cause a Windows system to lock up or appear to hang. To check for malware on your system and to ensure that your computer is up to date on security software, visit Dell Knowledge Base Article: http://dell.to/2wWP1zI.
