    Just got my L702x and put in my other hard drive and did a clean install. Got everything installed except I seem to have an issue with the Turbo Boost. I widget shows up but doesn't ever show any activitity. It previously did on the other hard drive. Ran WEI and only getting a 4.6 rating on my processor. Any body have any suggestions.

    Nevermind... problem solved. Must of been something relation to when I flashed the A07 BIOS, it wasn't recognizing my charger at post. Unplugged and plugged back in, reset defaults in BIOS and now working great.

    Install your motherboard chipset drivers FIRST after the fresh O/S install. Specifically, install in this order and it should work fine:

    1. Main Chipset Driver (R289307)
    1. SATA Management (R292317)
    3. USB 3.0 Driver (R299115)
    4. ST Motion Sensor (R292318)
    5. Intel Turbo Monitor (R292797)

    Then... the remaining items:
    6. Audio (R291545)
    7. Gigabit LAN (R293030)
    8. Touchpad (R289237)
    9. Nvidia Video (R300420)
    10. Nvidia Stereoscopic 3D USB Controller (R296413)
    11. H.264 HD Webcam (R277344)
    12. Intel Wifi WLAN (R292521)
    13. Dell QuickSet (R295128)

    This should get you going and then updates will want to install once the wifi connects to the Internet (if you have that enabled).
