Just stripped and rebuilt it, so shocked.... there was NO thermal grease/pad anything on the gpu, probably the cause of overheating for sure... on the cpu... WTF... a brownish pad and then a blue pad... im sure theres not supposed to be both on there, the other chip... not sure what it was had...

Thats what i thought mate, was a sticker over the cover for it, and covered a screw though... im going to take it apart hopefully without too much trouble ...

Ahh, that would explain it mate, im kicking myself for taking it on now, thinking it would be a simple recovery disk fix... never the way Ive cut the sticker over the back cover to switch the memory sticks about, whatever was on there was worn away... my mate said it was over a year old... the...

Inspiron 1570, Im thinking very slightly possibly hard drive on its way out but thats only because it makes a very slight ticking could be perfectly normal, fan doesnt seem to spin very fast, seems to be quite docile and the minimal air coming out is hot, although the fan does spin up faster on...

After bsod with dell disk, tried off shelf disk again, no problems what so ever... forgot to say dell oem disk is being run off an external hard drive because it was dual layer dvd format and i dont have a dual layer drive too big to burn to single layer so i booted the iso off an external hard...

remove head unit, 2 screws at the bottom of the head unit housing, then somehow remove the cover at the bottom of the climate control and wiggle it out... if i remember correctly.

Possibly with the Dell disk? could be i guess, spose i could try the off the shelf disk again and see what happens... tried again with the dell and got BSOD at the end...

Ok sorry to revive this but i need more advice, im also using a thread ive made on bit tech but its slow and cliosport seems to come through on nearly every topic of interest better than others, So i installed a fresh copy of home premium, perfect, ran a film on for a while no bsod... went to...

Interested in pics, hope progress goes well :) Ran plasma dials for a while loved them, took them out last time dash was off because of selling soon, non sport plasma dials for sale if anyones interested on the side. pm.

However much im not a apple fanboy, its the iphone 4 for me, upgrade is in a week and i want rid of the blackberry, nothing wrong with it at all for me... id have one again for some reason, but iphone 4 is the way to go it seems.. Many on here are apple fans so its mainly what you shall hear.

I think they are pre gapped, hense the cardboard tube to stop the gapping getting damaged, Although if you look on http://www.ngkntk.co.uk And find your product it might tell you what gap is needed so you can check.

"windows resource ...cannot perform this scan" or simular... fresh install only option now?

I cant even get into windows without it BSODing to do the SFC... looks like it might have to be a fresh install hope i can get this SFC to work.. Have the install disk in the drive just need to get cmd up.

What as in gone the wrong routes... or you talking about the fresh install? i havent done the fresh install... im running memtest now... then ill try sfc, cheers.

Cheers Adam appreciate the help im running memtest from boot now... i got a win 7 home premium disk just like what is installed on the laptop Got into the user account without bsod and running setup it looks like i can only delete the partition and do a fresh install? i cant see any way to do a...

Cheers adam downloaded that ill try it in safe mode... I ran a scan, had ie open and put music on for 2.5hours, it was fine, rebooted into normal and BSOD... Just hoovered out the vents, clean as a whistle... suppose it could be heat sink poorly mounted? Ive got an install disk, but windows...

Ive been stressing the laptop in safe mode, for 2.5 hours now, no BSOD atm, I will try normal mode when the scans complete Im not sure its one of the new models where you can pick the colour lid, the hard drive is under the track pad and yeah you literally have to dismantle the whole laptop...

Ive tried again to system repair to an earlier date... wont do it, chkdsk /f and /r... no problems Memory diagnostics, no problems, Disk clean up, then ran CC cleaner, a lot of old unneeded files cleaned up. Still the problem, im currently waiting for home premium disk to finish as an actual...

Cheers mate, i know where the ram is, taken one stick out, nothing changed, ill try the other now. Cheers mate, actually a good suggestion it was getting hot, ill see if that fixes is, suppose it could be heatsink not seated propperly or just using s**t thermal grease, would that cause BSOD...

Were talking like 2 mins though... cant believe the whole laptop has to be taken apart to reach the hard drive, ridiculous.

Ive read its probably not software related more likely hardware... I need to know what around though... memory i guess?

Ok so im rigged in to fixing another friends laptop, the amount of fixing i do you'd think id be able to solve it myself but im stuck again Dell = HELL for sure inspiron 1570, cant even pull the hard drive out without dismantling the whole laptop :S Its working ok, under any stress is...

Cheers pete id appreciate that, drivers side please, and if it recoils well and works ill take it off you, Cheers.

My seatbelt number is 068567 D ... ive found one that is 068567 F... will that fit?

Yeah i will be phoning scrap yards tomorrow, ebay turning up a few, one of the listing the car was on 135k... think ill be phoning seeing if theres anything from a younger car. Battery needs to be disconnected when changing over obviously yeah? just checking.

My drivers seatbelt the last 2 feet refuse to recoil in now, which now annoyingly gets caught in the door, So i need a replacement drivers side, im probably going second hand unless new from Renault isnt amazingly expensive? Second hand has the risk of being also on its way out... there...

There not LEDs there flat SMDs And to buy all of them which is quite a few its about 15-20 quid so its about the same, only in the kit you get the filters if needed for the climate control and trip computer screens.

Say "i want it to go BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRP" noise effects and all

Looking back at the pics, i liked it non lacquered, a satin brown could have looked much better i think, Surely you must have mocked some sort of spraying tent up?

Yeah just the SMDs it seems, still not a bad price for a kit, about £20 quid for the SMDs normally isnt it? A lot of fun soldering, want to do a white change over if i get a sport.
