ĭownload the BIOS you wish to install and then open a Command Prompt (using Run As Adminstrator). To downgrade the BIOS, go here and then select one of the other versions of the BIOS. I'm not sure if you want to try this but you could try downgrading the BIOS to see if this resolves the issue. I see that you're now using a Samsung EVO 512GB mSATA card. Given that there are reports of this particular make of card working correctly in the Precision M6800 and that three other mSATA cards are working in your Precision M6800, I suspect that there's either a problem with the mSATA card itself or there's an incompatibility issue between that card and the BIOS revision running on your system. That allowed me to get passed the paused screen. Side note, I did use two SSD's and configured a RAID with the msata and a 2.5" SSD. Anyway, like I said, we opted to use 2.5" drives. The Dell support guys gave me the excuse that their systems are suppose to boot from drive 0 and then drive 1.īelieve me, I went round and round with the Dell support guys to beg them re-write their BIOS to allow me to configure the system to use the msata slot as Drive 0 (AKA first boot drive) That didn't go as planned. Remove all but the msata drive as bootable options. Might also need to see what is listed in your BIOS Boot Sequence. Try installing the msata drive as the only drive in the system. Is your system configured with UEFI or Legacy Boot? To help John with this testing on your systems. The M3800 and M4600- M4800's all play nice with the msata drives. Short story long, we no longer use the msata cards in the larger precision models. I've experienced similar issues with the msata cards and my M6700's. Same time that particular mSata works perfectly with my M4600. I have an issue with my M6800 - attempts to use my Plextor 256M5M (mSata slot) cause laptop to stuck at Dell logo. Please respond to this private message when you have the opportunity. Lastly, I'd like to verify your system's configuration so I've sent you a private message.

Here's how:įor Windows 7, go to Control Panel, click 'Network and Sharing Center', click 'change adapter settings', double click the network that you're trying to connect to. I recommend checking to make sure your system is set to DHCP when you try to use the computer at home. Meaning that your IP and DNS are manually set. What it sounds like to me is your wireless and wired connections are both set to static. Now to the technical issue you're having. Since your system connects at your office we can assume that your system's hardware is working correctly. Not a bad DL speed.Issue you described is more of a 'technical' concern than it is a 'quality' or 'reliability' issue with your M6800.
