    So everytime I put my computer into standby and come back from standby it's throttled down to 798mhz. It WONT budge from that either. Unless I use a program called throttlestop. But is there a permanent way to fix this?

    Dell seems to not want to help me since I upgrade Vista to Win7

    I apologize for not getting back to you the other day.

    It sounds like you have a bios problem. Have you installed the latest bios? I think it is A11 for the Studio 1555.

    Waiting for Dell to come up with a fix for this is a waste of time if you can use ThrottleStop to take care of this issue. ThrottleStop is very light on CPU resources when minimized to the system tray so it's not going to cause a problem if you have to run it all the time. You'll barely notice it. Set up a couple of power profiles for battery and AC if you need to and you'll be fine.

    I switched to Windows 7 on my older D830 and it works 100% correctly with no problems so I don't see why it shouldn't work for you too other than Dell having issues with being able to write a bios without bugs.

    No prob I posted this before I PM'd you anyway.
    You've been my savior so far.
    Yup I have A11 as far as I recall

    I think I just have to look into which profiles so I don't burn up my battery

    I have this prob too with my e1705...it prefers to run @ 998mhz... I just run TS in my startup, and I never have to worry about it.
