If you have gotten that message on your Dell laptop and you are wondering how to fix it then you are in the right place.

Some users with Dell laptops like the Dell Inspiron 1501 and the Dell Vostro 1000 have been seeing the above error message at boot up.

THE FIX: The easiest way that I have found to fix this problem is by downloading the BIOS driver for you system from the Dell website. There is an option to add/edit your service tag. I recommend that you use that feature, as it will help you to locate the correct BIOS driver for your laptop.

DOESN’T WORK: I’ve seen some sites that advise users to replace the battery, but that will not fix the problem. Running down the battery and then restarting the system also does not fix this issue.

I hope that this information helps anyone with this problem. Feel free to leave a comment if you have tried it and it worked (or didn’t work as the case may be).

The Adamo comes in two colors, Pearl and Onyx. It boasts an ultra-slim .65 inch (16.51mm) profile, 13.4-inch widescreen, HD display, with edge to edge glass. The keyboard is backlit and the hard drive is the very cool and quiet solid-state type. They are equipped with Intel Core 2 Duo processors with Centrino technology and DDR3 RAM. It also comes with built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

By now I am sure you are wondering what is the price of this fine machine. Well they start off at US$1,999 for the ADMIRE version that comes with a 1.2 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM and a 128GB solid state hard drive. The higher end of the spectrum is called the DESIRE, and that boasts a 1.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM and a 128 GB solid state hard drive, all for US$2699. These are the starting prices and you can end up paying a lot more depending on what additional features you may want add.

Not wanting to sound critical, but at that price, it will be hard to compete. Especially with the general economic downturn that most countries have been experiencing and with the popularity of the cheaper mini-laptops. I would appreciate your comments seeing as how the current economic downturn in my budget doesn’t allow me to purchase one.
