    Thanks for the tip! I will definitely try that next time I reboot and re-enable switchable graphics. Meanwhile that seems to have corrected the crashes so it definitely seems to be graphics switching related.

    Mine did some crashes while for example typing in an address in the browser, but the original reason of course might have been an earlier alt-tab and it just took a while to cause the errors.

    Thats exactly the kind of behaviour i had. Please report back if it worked for you.

    Dell also recomended to me to disable switchable graphics but i dont see a point in hindering so much battery life. Or having to restart and enter bisos to turn it on if i still want it when im on the go.

    I enabled switchable graphics back and turned off that additional power savings box and so far no crashes. Thanks again for that tip!

    When did your problems begin? I'm just wondering if the latest Windows updates had something to do about it, as my problems only occurred after them.

    Hi,
    I bought a WWAN 5630 and put in M6800, but in Device Manager said "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28). There are no compatible drivers for this device."
    I tried to install the old driver from M6700 but no result. Can anybody help me please?

    Thanks a lot!

    The drivers for the WWAN 5630 are coded to install on a few selected systems and sadly M6800 is not one of them.

    However, I have managed to get it working for my old M6500 and I'm looking at getting it installed in my M6800 if the Huawei LTE WWAN card don't work.

    PM me your email and I can help you get going. Oh wait, you need to have send 5 messages first.

    Can someone please advise me as to the drivers I should install for the AMD Firepro 6100, please? Do I use the one from Dell, or download direct from the AMD website? Thanks ever so much!
