I've recently bought a XPS-L501x laptop with these configurations:
CPU: Intel Corei7-740 - 6MB Cache
RAM: 6 GB
VGA: Geforce 435M
HDD: Samsung 640GB
Unfortunately, after few days of usage, windows boot time increases and when I scan hard disk using CHKDSK tool, it reports bad sector; whereas, when I recreate partitions and format whole hard disk, all bad sectors disappear!
I sent back laptop to warranty service center 2 times and finally they said that the reason of this issue is that I'd updated BIOS to version A06 and I shouldn't had done! Because BIOS chip of Dell laptops is multi-layer and it can't be updated without a chip hardware programmer!
Finally, they replaced a BIOS chip! and also changed Hard disk with a 500GB.
After replacement, laptop worked fine but after few days, Windows boot time increased and after I scanned HDD, there is a 4KB bad sector on drive C.
This issue really bothers me and I'm looking for an assist to solve it. Please do me a favor and propose a solution.
