Hello... I am returning from a long hiatus I purchased my m5550 in august of last year and for the last 2 or 3 months I have been concerned about the loudness of it. My fans are on virtually all the time. It is nice and peaceful when...

I also had this problem with my m5550. The solution is to have windows manage your wireless instead of the Intel wireless. Now, when you hibernate / sleep mode and you turn it back on your internet should work just fine. Sorry if you...

cool, but do I need to send them my laptop? Today I had a random shutdown, and now the sound doenst work and hte tiem is set to when it shut down!

This would be handy... I've had my m5550 since August, do I just call or e-mail them and ask about the BIOS upgrade? I won't have to send my lappy to them, will I?

If it makes you feel any better, my m5550 runs VERY HOT as well. Even when I'm doing basic things like browsing the net. It's a hot lappy. Do you have a cooler for yours?

Looks like a good setup. Most deffinitely upgrade your RAM. Newegg.com is good but I was too scared to do it myself so I just bought the 1gb from Alienware. you should buy 2gb from newegg.com
