hi. not sure if we are allowed to share links but here is the other guy that got his bricked. he was doing dual boot. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/solved-dell-m4600-stuck-on-bios-load.82115/ Very strange on the Windows 10 install bricking, I've never heard of something like this happening (but clearly you aren't the only one that it happened to). I am curious, is your system set to legacy boot or UEFI boot? well in order to boot to win 7 it has to be on legacy and UEFI f on win10. at that time it was on UEFI. i had installed win10 before many times. (i do remeber that i enabled fastboot both times) i dont even know either why it happened i can only think fastboot enabled on bios. Regarding temps, I'm not quite sure what to make of this either. I am wondering if your previous high load 85 °C experiences had the CPU throttled in some way. For reference, on my M6700, if I put the system under a high CPU load (gaming, video encoding, ...) then it pushes 99-103 °C on all cores. Maxing out the CPU temperature has been normal for high-performance laptop CPUs for a while. (It makes sense — If the CPU is not hitting 100 °C, then there is still thermal headroom to push the clock speed higher and get better performance.) And I know I have a good thermal setup in the M6700; I actually upgraded the CPU heatsink to the dual-pipe version, drilled larger holes in the bottom cover for the CPU fan, and I've done proper cleaning of the CPU and heatsink surface and repaste jobs whenever I have had to remove the CPU heatsink (for GPU swaps). ...If there are any other M4600 users out here, maybe they can comment on what temps they typically see in these systems under load. (@Hertzian56, you still have one right?) on high load stress test around 87-90. now it gets to 99. all this after repair shop open it up. i had never seen it hit RED numbers on hw info. I actually upgraded the CPU heatsink to the dual-pipe version, drilled larger holes in the bottom cover for the CPU fan right .. thats why i went to NBR to see if there we mods i could make to make it run cooler. but theres nothing i can do to fix the chipped part.? am sorry i cant upload a picture i dont have a phone right now. aybe ill be able to take a pic of it later in about 2-3 days but die cant be fixed.? sorry i didnt understand how to quote you.. if anyone here has mods please share them. thanks

hi guys.. i just found out about NBR was down. was going to search for information there. but now am here. on NBR i posted i thinik there was like 2 -3 threads for m4600 owners i used the latest. am still using my m4600 and was hoping to find help. the last post i had on NBR was that my m4600 got bricked when i was installing win10. onced it copied the files from usb and automatically restarts. then it got bricked after restart. it stayed at dell logo (actually frreeze). pressing F12 or any key would not work. at that time i did a lot of research and they mentioned it was the motherboard. so i went ahead and bought a motherboard. the old one i accidentally broke the GPU fan socket. ok so guess what ... i also bricked this board as well after 2 weeks of use. how.??? exactly the same as the old board.. installing win 10 using usb after it copied files it restarted and got bricked. after seraching on the web i came across a thread in another forum where a user had the same laptop m4600 had the same problem as me freeze at dell logo. he mentioned he fix it by manualy flashing the bios. so after research i went ahead and bought a ch34a1 programmer and manually flashed the bios. and that fixed the freeze at dell logo. now my goal is to keep temps as low as possble. my cpu die is chipped at the corner just a bit. not sure if this might be the cause of overheat.. i mean using laptop the highest tmep ive seen was around 85 doing benchmarks. now it gets to 99. before doing the manual flash of bios . i have sent it to a repair shop and in there the cpu die is missing a very smal piece at the corner. not sure what can be done to this. maybe this is causing temos to go higher.
