    Hi my friends... I want to show with you my (DIS)adventure with DELL.
    I have bought an M65 PRECISION and discovered WHINE world.... :mad:

    Have reported to Technical support this
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn798xmKBB8 (PART1)

    They send 2 technicians to my home for replace mainboard. The problem after this seems different.. but still present
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=legqLFgMKEo (PART2)

    So they call me for replace the notebook. I accept and yesterday receive new.. but... :eek: with same problem. Now have two M65 :cool:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErkhU2qK-fM (PART3)

    Today.. searching for DELL WHINE.. i discover that Dell well know the problem
    http://support.dell.com/support/top...5D64D40BAFB211DBB6C9D3546A7F9904&l=en&s=gen#1
    Seems that Italian Technical support don't know about this document.
    However.. dell surprise me when says "The level of the noise is within the acoustic specifications of the notebook"
    I hope that when i call technical support they NEVER answer me this! :(
    I'm preparing to war...

    this helped for me : go to control panel - system - device manager
    under bluetooth radios (my xps doesnt have a built in radio but still the option was there, strange but true) go to dell truemobile 355 or whatever it might be called on your laptop - go to properties - power management and uncheck "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" That made the noise disappear in my case

    if you have any questions feel free to contact me
    [email protected]

    hope this helped

    I believe the whine was for the CPU right, well its an on going issue for most portables that have a core 2 duo processors. There was no final solutions but mostly work arounds, try to check the foum for related issues you'll find the work arounds here.

    Can I sugest you try something??? I need to know your result though.

    Start/Control Panel/Device Manager/BlueTooth Radios/'your' bluetooth (not unumerator)/right click on properties/power management and unclick "Allow Computer to Turn this Device Off"
