Answers: Congratulations, you have got flagged as non-genuine, in order to become genuine again just do the following.
Insert Win7 DVD in your optical drive and restart, press any key when it's asked and follow the user-friendly installation of Windows by following the instructions given there. Microsoft OS have graphical user interface (GUI) so don't be afraid from installing at your own.
And do you've any important files in your OS drive (C:\ in most cases) ?

Quesions: I only have pics In drive C:\ will they backup automatically to drive D:\


Answers: No they won't. You've to copy them manually, try going onto your desktop by safe mod. Press "F8" while restarting and keep on hitting the button, when you see several options there find "safe mod" and wait for your turn, it'll take some time from 2-4 minutes and then drive you to the desktop, finally copy all pictures or whatever you've in your C:\ drive.

Dell Inspiron 15R N5010 Over Heating Problems


I was bought a new dell inspiron 15r n5010 laptop few days ago, And i'm happy with its performance.

Dell inspiron 15r n5010 specs:
CPU Core i7 Q740 1.73GHz
Ram 4GB DDR3
GPU ATI HD Radeon Mobility 5470 1GB (Up to 2737)
6 Cell 4400mAh Dell Inspiron N5010 Battery

But Recently I found that Its constantly overheating the GPU and the HDD. As I discovered in the 15R's overheating is a major problem due to Quanta (Dell doesn't manufacture laptops ıtself, they buy it from barebone manufacturers like Quanta and label it as Dell) making a bad design.

Even without playing any 3D games, the GPU temp is constantly around 60C (when playing wow it goes to 89C !), the HDD standard temp is about 48C (when playing it goes up to 55C). It becomes so hot that the heat on the touchpad can burn your fingers. No worries though...when the GPU temp reaches 92C system shuts itself off !

Who to solve the problems?

And i search the web, and found some solutions as below.

1)Go to the Dell for a Refund. If it is still under warranty.
2)Change the fan settings in the bios. But somebody says that there is no fan settings in BIOS. Its worse than barebones...
3)Replacing that hard drive. When you go to replace the drive you will need to pull the heat sync and system fan. You can make sure that you have a good seal at the processor and that there is nothing clogging either the fan or airway.
As shown in this video, its not very easy to open the 15R http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8wWVzSjaOk
