    hey guys, weird problem. installed the dell 8.76 driver off there site( which made a huge diffrence comp was running really nice) no idea if this effects any thing. but i using the laptop and the ac adapter made a weird noise like it came loose from the mid conection box thing(dunno wat its called) so i checked it and it was alil loose then made sure it was in fine and comp froze. now im unable to boot into windows whilst on ac power it freezes b4 the user name login screen, but when i turn it on just on battery it runs fine logs in normally, then when i put the ac back into the comp it freezes again. i thought i might c if it logs into safe mode which it does on both ac/bat thought it might be a driver problem so i went to install the drivers in safe mode and it says failed to load detection driver, im not familiar with safe mode so is there something wrong with the driver or is it hardware. i rang suport they sending out a tech aprently with a new power cord and a motherboard. but i would like to get it working today if i can i have school work to do >.<
