Peetah:
Well since it happened right after bios update.
You try "Load Default/Optimal/Fail-Safe Settings"? (Wording would be different depending on mobo)

Also, you could try downgrading your bios if that doesn't work..

That's the support section for your model I believe, and I believe you are on the latest A05 bios, could try downgrading to the A03 that's on their if what above does not work for you.

Edit: Also, here's the links to all the past bios for your model that are on the site.. I don't think they have A02 up there.

A01: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/inspiron-15-intel-n5040?driverId=P5Y3D&fileId=2731119044
A03: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/inspiron-15-intel-n5040?driverId=R311578&fileId=2731119044
A04: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/inspiron-15-intel-n5040?driverId=64G30&fileId=2987720980

How do I do/try this? I don't have a lot of knowledge on this type of stuff.

So I tried downgrading, but when I did it said something like "The bios will now flash to an older version, dell does not recommend flashing to an older version. Press OK to exit."


I press OK, and it goes away, nothing happens after that.

I X it out, same thing happens.

Sorry for the double post, just wanted to make sure you guys know it has been resolved.

I went into my bios settings, and restored to defaults, it now runs how it should be.


Thanks for all the help!
