Hi Talha,
Let’s try the following steps.
Uninstall and reinstall the graphics drivers.
First uninstall the driver from Device Manager:
If the card is not listed in device manager, then proceed with BIOS update:
Note: Before updating BIOS please ensure that:
*Battery is 10%> or >10% charged
*Battery charger should be connected
*No external devices (flash drives, printers, external hard drives) should be connected.
*All other programs should be closed and documents saved
Then download and install the updated graphics drivers.
In case you do not get prompts on the screen for instructions, then
Please reply if you have any questions.

Hi Talha,
Thank you for your response. I apologise for the inconvenience caused. Inspiron 5520 systems are shipped with integrated Intel and discrete AMD Radeon graphics cards. You would not be able to see the ‘AMD Radeon’ option in device manager, if the card was not purchased with the system. If you purchased AMD Radeon graphics card with the system, then you can download the driver as mentioned below.
In case you do not get prompts on the screen for instructions, then
I am adding you as a friend and sending a private message. Please respond with the system Service Tag and your name so that I can check the system specifications.
Please reply if you have any questions.

Hi Talha,
Thank you for your quick response. I appreciate the information provided. I have checked the system details. In order to get to the root of the issue, I need the following information:
Were you able to install AMD Radeon driver from the link?
Could you elaborate on the wireless issue?
Are you able to connect to the network?
Do you get any error message when trying to connect?
Have you tried connecting any other device to the network?
It appears that you are facing multiple issues with the drivers. Please check which options have a yellow exclamation or question mark in Device Manager (share screenshot if possible).
Here are the steps to access Device Manager:
The system utility that is available for this system model is known as Intel Rapid Start Technology which requires an additional hardware called SSD hard drive. This technology enables the system to boot back with-in seconds after getting into hibernation. This system was not purchased with SSD hard drive, so the system utility will not be compatible with this system. There is a separate procedure to enable and configure it.
Please reply with the information.

Hi Talha,
Thank you for your response. Good to know that the graphics drivers are working properly. AMD Switchable graphics technology is a mobile graphics switching process optimizing your system for either high-powered graphics processing or low power consumption. It is designed to switch the graphics operation between integrated graphics and discrete graphics. Here are the steps to use the switchable graphics.
I have reviewed the link for the Wireless issue. I see that you are using Windows 7. May I know how did you install Windows 7 on your computer? The system was shipped with a different Operating System.
Please reply with the results.

Hi Talha,
Thank you for your quick response. Since you are facing multiple issues with the system, I would recommend to perform a clean install of the operating system. I would require the following information:
1. Which operating system disk was used?
2. How did you install the operating system?
Please reply with the information and send me a private message with the first and last name that should appear on the account. I will go ahead and assist you in performing a clean install where we will delete all the partitions and install the drivers according to the correct sequence.
Please reply with the information.

Thank you for your response. Let’s go ahead and ensure that hardware is functioning well.
Please run the ‘Dell Diagnostics’
Note: If you wait too long and the Microsoft Windows appear, then continue to wait until you see the Windows desktop. Now shutdown your computer and try again.
Please respond in a private mesage with the first and last name or the address as it appears on the account. We will go ahead and try to install the operating system to ensure that we do it the correct order. Also we will install the drivers in the correct order.
