Precision M6400 Owner's Lounge

i think the next step for me is wipe the hard drive and install a new version of windows if this doesnt work, hell, i will probably do that anyway once a get some time as a last resort....i really want this machine to work out.

 

Anybody having this issue?

Blue Screen after security updated KB958624!!!

I have done a clean install because of blue screen with original install, was ok until this update, I'm running Catia whitout any problem with the covet.

Quad core
4GB of ram


Thanks for your input

 

great, so far so good...installed perfectly, and the program specific performance drivers installed correctly. seems to be working, i will post back after some hours of use to see if any crashes happen, but this seems to be a good fix.

thanks Diecast

 

a dell rep told me over the phone that this is common, and the work around is to boot in safe mode and install this update.

 

GLAD to hear that -- Let us know -- may just be the ticket to a lot of folks problems.

If it does work - maybe you can post detailed instructions - and anything else that you think might help

 

Anyone using the m6400 with maya or max that are not experiencing problems?

 

This thread is about the M6400, not the hole forum!

 

I use Maya 2009 & Zbrush 3, both are flawless for me so far (knock on wood)

Haven't tried Max, and Mudbox 2009 crashes instantly. The old version is fine though. A lot of Dell users with Quadros are saying Mudbox 09 is unusable for them too so not sure how long til it's addressed. Screwed around with XSI 7 but not long enough to be confident there's no bugs.

Be a real letdown if Max truly is broken on this machine, sounds odd since the other apps are smooth as buttah.

 

Thank you!

I will make a try...

 

well, the good news now is that i just installed a second hard drive...and it automatically detected it and asked me to setup a RAID 0 array. it was simple and didnt need to reinstall everything. the bad news is that i already had a Max crash with the new drivers. the computer is fast as hell with RAID though.
