Very poor performance after BIOS-Update

Hello,

I am a owner of an Dell Studio XPS 16(45) and i have the following problem.

The whole System seems to be very slow.

The Dell-BIOS-Logo needs about 15 seconds to disappear and when windows booted up, it is much slower than normal.

This changed with the BIOS Update A11 which i executed last week.

In Microsoft Office Word 2010 it takes up to 1 second to show the text i wrote! And that  isnt normal with an i7 CPU.

In 3D-Games there are freezes every few seconds (up to 5 seconds between the 1 second long freezes).

As mentioned that started with the Update to A11 BIOS.

 

Is there a way to disable the Version checking and re-flash the BIOS?

 

the Dell diagnostig system didn found anything so i think it was a bad flash of the BIOS.

 

I hope there is an solution

With best regards,

Oberoth 

 

EDIT:

i want to mention that i re-installed windows a few times and tried diffrent drivers (from dell homepage and ati-homepage)

    in which information-screen do you mean?

    in the startup F2?

     

    EDIT:

    i realized which screen (website) you meant, but when i start the file it shows me an error that the newest bios is installed already...

    but i want to reinstall it...

    any ideas?

    Yes, you can re-flash back to the original BIOS. They are listed ubder a selection for Previous Versions when you go to the information page for the most recent BIOS.
