Got New Dell Laptop, W10, 4th computer w/continued problems
Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series/Intel i5-6200u 2.3ghz/8gb ram/1tb hdd
I'll bet nobody ever had this situation. Past year, 4 different brand computers. W8 and W10. Internet Explorer.
* Often have to click multiple times when I go to click on something.
* Typing, the cursor disappears, or it jumps somewhere else (and touchpad is turned 'off', I am using external mouse). Letters wont appear, keep tapping, or hesitate as I wait, then they might all of a sudden fill in.
* Click to a page, often wait and wait while the page slowly fills in as "circle" goes around.
* When scrolling, I turn the wheel, it hesitates a couple of seconds, then it moves.
* Very often get messages like 'Internet Explorer is not responding' 'the page is not responding, IE is looking for a solution'.
* Often get the cursor flashing, doing the arrow/circle, arrow/hand, hand/circle, wont change to the hand. Happens everywhere, email or 'regular' website pages, etc.
* Yahoo email often seems fouled up. Jumps around by itself. Try to drag an email into a folder, but it wont change to the envelope icon so nothing there to drag.
And more 'weird' things seem to happen.
Had Comcast techs check the cable/internet wiring 3 different times in past, as I felt sure they somehow must have wired something wrong. Nothing. I use their own gateway router/modem, always current.
It wouldn't set up right out of the box, after first couple of steps, screen went black/blank, wouldn't turn back on, called Dell, they did remote-repair. Then earphone jack didn't work, and screen froze 3 times that day. Called, did remote repair again for earphone, said he checked/fix the freezing. I listened to some audio with earphone, was fine. Unplugged it, later go to use it again, does not work again. Sent email, waiting for the next remote-repair. Wondering if I got a "lemon" (again).
This seems incredible to me, four different brand computers, w8 and w10, similar problems making it so frustrating.
Others I've talked to say the same. Am I cursed??
