M6600 Owners Thread

Last night during doing my job using AutoCAD 2010... it's just freeze nothing can be done unless force for shutdown button and restart... any1 have any idea

 

Could be many things: ssd, mobo, GPU. I'd start by examining the event viewer logs. Make sure you are on the latest BIOS as well chipset and video drivers.

 

I'll add to that list...
I've found that the memory should be suspect if you're having hard locks... but any problems should be detectable with something like MemTest86+.

I've also had a faulty wifi card cause hard locks.

 

aha.. try to look on the Event Viewer Logs, yet too many errors

Will give it a try..

 

Look for the red ones in the windows logs -> system, should right before the unexpected shutdown error.

 

PLease guys give me a suggestion to my problem.

 

Can't tell for sure but IMHO, the mobo should have the FPS connector. I guess you could give Dell a call and find out. Make sure you get to the Precision tech support.

 

Yes, the motherboard connectors are there for both the FP reader and also the contactless smart card reader. You are good to go.

Scott-

 

Thank you for your reply. I will try to get dell to send me a new palmrest with fingerprint reader and smart cart reader.

 

About to get my M6600 with 2860QM, 32GB Ram, 512SSD, 750GB HDD, Quadro4000.

Not sure about the display but wondering if it's possible to upgrade the regular screen to an IPS with 100% Adobe gamut by myself?

Are the connectors and physical dimensions the same? Can't seem to find anythign related directly to this yet.

TIA
