Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
Hey guys, I just purchased a Dell Inspiron 15R N5520 laptop, its an amazing device, but I'm having some issues, hope you can help me out.
My config:
i3 3110m(Ivy Bridge, HD4000)
HD7670m
Now, I did a lot of research with this configuration before purchasing it, and I read in various release notes that Enduro works with my design(7xxx+Ivy), also in AMD website I found that only Panasonic, Sony and Toshiba laptops are not supported, but it didn't say Dell, so I bought it, now comes the stupid part, apparently my laptop fails the Mobility Checker tool(note, after using the dell drivers), which was unexpected, but then I tried to update to 13.1 which failed as well, it just ran, nothing happened, it finished in a sec and nothing was updated, I got ****ed and just went ahead and installed Leshcat UniFL 13.1, which works fine, except a few bugs like kernel power loss/crash etc when running winsat without a 3d app running(like GPU caps viewer) etc, but games ran fine and the 7670m worked as expected(kudos to leshcat).
Now I have a few questions for you guys:
1. Is my laptop compatible with official enduro(i.e AMD 13.1 etc)?
------If so can I update to 13.1 directly with a fresh win 7 install without having to install Dell drivers before? In that case what should be the steps?
2. If not, am I stuck to Leshcat? Its not that I don't like it, but an official support helps.
Woe me, I could have gotten a GT630m laptop like my friends and they can update to nVidia officials without any issues
I suffered an instant crash(kernel power loss) when winsat ran automatically as scheduled(once ever 15 days?) and lost some important work
If anyone has a similar setup please tell me how do you update drivers? Dell just released a new update a few days back but I'm afraid its just old(like 12.11), and to play games I need 13.1 at least.
Please Help with Dell 15R N5520
