UPDATE 2: Installed a new set of fans and heatsink, and laptop is now running fine. Took the time to replace all thermal paste and pads whilst it was apart.

UPDATE: I can now boot into Windows. Turns out that the Bios had changed boot order of my SSD's and was trying to boot Windows from my data drive and not OS drive. Fans still not working though, they do work with direct power, but do not work when laptop is assembled. Any advice on why the fans...

Hi Everyone I'm having a bit of trouble with the fans on my Dell Inspiron 15 7577 laptop that I really need some advice about, hoping you guys can help me out. I have just changed the keyboard and trackpad on this laptop and since putting it back together I get the Windows 10 recovery screen pop...

Installed a new keyboard, and all keys now work. At the same time I changed the trackpad too as that was starting to play up on the right click, plus changed the thermal paste. Unfortunately a new problem has arisen which needs some attention. I'll start a new thread for that one. Many thanks...

Hi All Wondering if any of you guys can give me some advice on why a couple of my Dell 15 7577 gaming laptop keys aren't working, and possible ways on how to rectify the problem. The keys in question are the Backspace and Return keys, all other keys work fine. The problem has been there for a...

Many thanks for the response. Pretty sure that the CPU is in fact toast, tried it in my mates PC who runs an i5 CPU (can’t actually remember which variant, but know he has a 1155 socket on his motherboard), and his PC wouldn’t boot either. I managed to pick up an i3-3240 CPU really cheap, and...

Hi All. I’m building a budget PC for my brother from an old base unit I had and some second hand parts. It'll mainly be for browsing, kids school work, etc. No heavy gaming of any description. I wanted to make it a bit faster for him so I have upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB, which went fine...

Hi All I'm currently in a bit of a dilemma as to which graphics card I should use in my PC, and just wondering if any of you guys can help me decide which I should use. In my PC at the moment is an MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming 4G, which runs perfectly fine still, but is obviously starting to age...

I am aware of what I need to do, the problem is that I can't physically change these values from Auto to Manual. I double click the mouse on them, or highlight the value that I want to change and press enter on the keyboard and absolutely nothing happens, it's like these settings are locked.

Yes, thats the section I'm trying to adjust CPU parameters in.

I will get some done in due course

Thanks for your advice. I am familiar with Ryzen Master, I actually find it quite a good utility, I was just hoping to change settings in bios so as to have the OC in place permanently, and to not have another background process running when using my PC. As far as rolling back the bios goes...

I cannot do anything to change CPU clock, frequency and voltage. Just been in the bios again and I have easy mode and classic mode, cannot see anything related to an advanced mode. Just wondering if downgrading the bios may be an option to unlock CPU setting adjustments. I'm totally at a loss...

How do I switch to advanced mode, I can't seem to find an option anywhere. Current bios version is F50, and I'm using a Noctua NH-U12S CPU cooler. I have 2 x 120mm intake fans and 3 120mm exhaust fans running in my PC. My problem isn't cooling as far as I'm aware, the current issue is not...
