I don't think those files would help much; from what I had gathered on IM, it's an issue with the HDD declaration in the DSDT table. Try the attached table, it's a known good working one from LatinMcG, a well-known Hackintosher and DSDT/BIOS specialist on IM and various other forums (I even use his 530s table on my Vostro 200 as it gets it to wake properly!!!):For other various info, read.i am very new to bios editing although i know a little. I have downloaded the tools and hopefully, as you said, they will work. But now what do i do with the files. Im assuming i have to flash my bios with them, but how?
I have a Inspiron 530s and used this DellInspiron5. Installed iATKOSL2 (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2) all all is OK. Thanks Dansolo for this bios.

At this time i am running windows 10, but vista 32 bit was installed at the time of processor upgrade.

I will for sure give it another try to the latest BIOS, but my main concern at this time is that sometimes the system fails to wake up from standby mode. Same issue can be found on this link:Thank you again for all your help.Anytime This forum is worth savingI had a startup problem when I got the 530 (for free!) from one of the neighbour, but it didn't start at all most of the time. When I got it, I removed the memory 1 by 1 and one of them was faulty. I started ut the Dell with one 1gb left (or was it 2gb? My memory (and balance) has grown weak after partying a lot im my youth ) and went for the 10.0.18 bios (in win7x64), installed 8gb (4x2gb) one at a time (for some reason this can help if it don`t start after indroducing A LOT more ram than it was in it before).
I finished with the CPU - and bob`s your uncle Be carefull when you remove the heat sink, it IS easily breakableI don`t know if memory gets broken over time, or it happens all of a sudden. Maybe it could be as simple as onboard battery needs changing? (, 06:06 PM)dabb Wrote: (, 04:08 PM)techsawy Wrote: Thanks for all the information. I really appreciate it.

Maybe it could be as simple as onboard battery needs changing?I think I kind of found the problem. I still haven't checked the battery, but the problem was definitely caused by the VTx option enabled in the BIOS. So, as I mentioned in the previous post that after several reboots. The operating system would fail to enable or detect visualization and hyper-v option even though it was still enabled in the bios.
After turning off the VTx feature, the system is now waking up from standby mode just fine. Now, could this be a problem in bios or cpu. I am not sure about this, but if I have another same processor then I can rule out the processor as well. For now I think I will just leave it as it is.
Thank you again for all your help. According to to mod bios please use these steps:.Restart the system. Click on Start, Turn off Computer and Restart.At the Dell loading screen Tap F2 to enter the BIOS. 'Entering Setup' will appear when the command has been recognised.
Certain models may use a different key. The key will be displayed during the boot process. For most Dell laptops and desktops, the key is F2.Once loaded, depending on BIOS age and type, you can reset the defaults by either using F9 key to Load Defaults (Shown as an option at the bottom of the screen), the Alt + F key combination, or the Load Defaults button shown on the screen, to load the factory defaults.Press Esc on your keyboard and select Save and exit, or click the Exit button, again depending on the version you have.Choose the Enter key to save all changes and exit the BIOS screen. Allow your system to restart for the BIOS settings to reset. (, 06:06 PM)dabb Wrote: (, 04:08 PM)techsawy Wrote: Thanks for all the information. I really appreciate it.
