Windows 10: Windows 10 results in repeated Internal Power Failure in Dell Inspiron

Not the best though..
Intel updated all their drivers for Windows 10 (Graphics, thermal, Management Engine, Wifi, Bluetooth...).

 

How can I disable it.?
I'm unable to run it in safe mode and other than that as soon as I logged in it restarts.
Totally stuck with nowhere.

 

I have a couple of 5 year old computers and not everyone is going to make new drivers for those, so you take what you can get.

 

Boot into the BIOS and check to see if you can disable it in there. Again it's not ideal but should offer a short term solution.

 

I once had a Dell 1545 laptop that had power issues with all of its USB connector ports after trying to charge a tablet on the USB port. I solved it by powering down the laptop, removing and the battery for about 15 minutes. This seemed to reset everything and the USB ports worked fine for years after that.

Maybe a rogue Windows 10 driver triggered the power issue. Try powering down the laptop and taking out the battery for 15 minutes or 1/2 hour and then reboot and see what happens.

 

I can shutdown my system but can't remove it's battery coz it's built in and Non removable unfortunately.
I am going to try your idea and let's see what happens.

Thanks for your suggestion.

 

Here's a link to a PDF copy of the Dell 7000 series service manual. If worse comes to worse, you can remove the bottom screws of the laptop, take off the bottom of the laptop and remove the battery. See page 14 & 15

I followed Kanzuri's fix and it worked perfectly! However, having been listening to my music for about an hour, my laptop has now frozen completely - a black screen with no mouse. The only sign of life is that the keys are still illuminated. The only solution I have is to power off/on. I've done this a couple of times with the same result. I can only assume there's still something wrong with the display driver.

If anyone else is having this problem and has fixed it, please let me know asap!

 

Hey Munaf .. Make sure you're on the C Drive by typing "C:" then the enter key before you start Hopefully that helps you with safe mode.

If not follow all the instructions from this link (with screenshots)

(Because we can't get into Windows long enough to run msconfig make sure you use the 2nd method with your Windows Install DVD .. I found once that deliberately powering off the laptop during startup would display the Windows Repair screen but that's not advisable)

 

Thanks for the credit kanzuri ... Good instructions and linking people to the drivers *Smile

 

Did anyone try to contact to Dell tech support?? Or Microsoft team??

 

I tried to contact with Dell for this error. They know nothing. A guy just told me to clean up my PC and buy a windows 10 copy in my nearest store. Ridiculous.

 

Okay, so I'm adding this for you who cannot enter safe mode.

Solution:

You can check five possible solutions to this problem here: http://www.7tutorials.com/5-ways-boo...s-8-windows-81

It is designed for Windows 8.1 but works on Windows 10.

Also, I especially recomend the second way, which involves:

1.- Holding shift in the main screen (this one).



2.- Press the Power Button and click on Restart (all this whit the Shift key held). It will take you to the recovery screen after a few seconds.

3.- After this, you just continue in the steps I posted before.

 

I haven't run into any freezing yet on my one but I did a few more things after the graphics card drivers.

I manually searching for Windows 10 drivers for all the software devices not installed in Device Manager (rather than just installing the Windows 8.1 Dell ones. The main one I came across that might help was a Lenovo Windows 10 Driver for Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework you can download here ...
Intel Platform Device Driver for Windows 10 (64-bit), 8.1 (64-bit) - ThinkPad 8 - Lenovo Support (US)

This is only from memory but I'm fairly certain it was the one I used. I was able to get Windows 10 drivers for everything except Intel Chipset, but I downloaded the latest 8.1 drivers from the Intel website (released in June 15) not the ones from Dell's Windows 8.1 section (released last year).

Hopefully that helps with any crashing.

 

I too upgraded my Dell Computer to win 10 , and had crashes every 5 minutes ............... in the end I went to windows repair and recovery and on recovery I clicked restore to previous version (Win. 8.1 ) . It did crash shortly after I pressed reset and I was wondering if anything would load but luckily it said restoring to older version and 10 minutes later I am back with a working computer and it will be a long time before I UPDATE AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!
