    Hello all,

    I have quite a perplexing issue with my Inspiron L501x, all of a sudden when I start the laptop the wireless adapter, Ethernet adapter doesn't register and nor do the 3 USB ports (2 x USB 2.0 & 1 x USB 3.0). I've checked device manager and the 4 drivers associated with the wireless adapter, Ethernet adapter & USB ports show Error 10. However, if i disable and re-enable the devices they all function correctly until next start up at which point the same error occurs.

    I've uninstalled, re-installed and updated all associated drivers to no avail. I have used drivers newer than the ones listed on Dells support website as well as those that are listed by Dell.

    I consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable but have no idea what this issue is.

    Any ideas?
