Ok, I used to support laptop and desktop installs, fixes, etc. but it's probably been close to 10 years since I've done this and I know that I am VERY rusty. However, I know that I will understand if someone could PLEASE direct me.
I recently reloaded my (old) laptop (XPS 17 (L702X, Early 2011)). I guess I didn't install the drivers correctly nor am I even sure I installed the correct ones. :-( Of course I cannot get help from Dell unless I pay now (since I'm out of warranty). I recently purchased a new desktop but still want to have use of this laptop . . . . until it dies! ;-) :-D
Sooooo, can someone help me out PLEASE.
1) Do I need to reload my computer from scratch to reinstall the drivers in the correct order (http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/268873/en?c=us&s=gen&cs=&l=en) or can I just uninstall all the drivers and reinstall (probably a stupid question, I'm sure).
2) MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION . . . when I go to the download drivers sight, I'm confused as to which drivers are compatible for my system. IE, I put in my model and there are several choices for Chipset, Audio, Network, etc.
I tried to "Run a quick test for common hardware problems." but I keep getting the error:
