I have a Dell Inspiron 2650 Running Windows XP.I need to know because I try to watch a DVD and after a while the picture stutters and sometimes pops up an error that says You probably disable BIOS caching or shadowing.
Turn your laptop off and then back on again. When you get the "Dell" splash screen press the "F2" key momentarily.
That should take you to a System Setup Screen. Poke around in the screens and look for "BIOS Cache" and/or "BIOS Shadowning" and set them to "Disabled". (You'll probably see these listed for both "System BIOS" and "Video BIOS")
When you are done press the "F10" key to save your settings and reboot again.
I found L2 caching its at 256mb but i cannot access it.
You do NOT want to disable L2 Cache (L2 is "Level 2" cache which is used directly by the CPU itself).
Look for System BIOS and/or Video Cache (they may call it "Shadowing".
Stumble It!
