Could be a hardware issue like your video card. Suggest you run the Dell diagnostics. Tap the F12 key at the Dell Logo screen. Run the full diagnostics and post back the results.

ok got it fixed by disconnecting the ethernet cable and disabling the port then reinstalled the wireless adapter that i had on it before and now it seems to be working just fine haven't figured out how the ethernet port would cause the system to freeze up but glad its fixed now
