MX17 r3 Driver Issues

Hi

I suspect the chipset driver is not installed.

Please check if you have installed the drivers in the order given in the link below:

Also find the link below for the drivers for your system model:

Revert for further queries.

Thanks

The chipset driver driver is installed and up to date (i checked with both the dell and intel software). I have installed all the drivers recommended by the dell software, and i installed the drivers in that order. However the two left usb ports are still not working, and the device manager is still not picking up drivers for the usb controller or the PCI device

Hi Godnaut,

Thank you for trying the suggested steps.  I would like to know if these drives were working before Operating system reinstallation.

Please update BIOs and chipset driver once again from the link given below:

BIOS: http://dell.to/16e8J50

Note: While flashing BIOS connect the Ac adapter and make sure the battery has minimum 15% charge as this needs uninterrupted power supply. Do not use the system till it restarts and comes up to the desktop.

Chipset: http://dell.to/1cfKUMS  

Restart the system and check. Also run complete Windows update.  also provide the screen shot of the Device Manager.

I have updated the bios and updated the chip-set again and i have run a complete windows update (except for language packs) however that hasnt fixed the issue.

Godnaut,

Open the Device Manager- Universal Serial Bus controllers. Do a screenshot so we can see what is listed.

Hi Godnaut,

Updating the chipset driver should have resolved the issue. Since the issue is persisting, I suggest you to clean install the Operating system once again and install the drivers in the correct order mentioned earlier.

Hi I had the same problem with your computer. I recently bought 2nd Hand computer Mx17 R3 knowing the USB 3.0 Hub Controller is not working as per owner when he install the driver he had issue having blue screen. I do the same thing have clean installed windows. I prefer to used the original Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium x64 because i had tried also to installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and i had problem installing some drivers such as Video Graphic Card Nvidia Geforce Gtx460m., Okay Let's Go back to your issue i had the drivers you are needed., Just email me here johnhenrycsantos@gmail.com
