Inspiron 14 5000 heats after shut down

Hi PABLOCONINSPIRON,

What is the exact system model?

Update the BIOS - http://dell.to/1n3X2po - enter the service tag and download the BIOS, update and restart the machine and check.

Restart the system and press f12 key on startup - choose diagnostics. Let it run the diags and if you encounter any errors - make a note of the complete error and report the same to us. These are onboard diagnostics and they might possible pick some error if the hardware is not functional. 

If the system overheats, download the service manual from the above link and open the chassis and clean the airvents and fan assembly with a small vacuum cleaner or a can of compressed air and reapply the thermal grease for the heatsink.

Also, check if there is a Haswell driver available for your model in the above link and install the same.

Also, please click my DELL-username and write me a private message with the service tag and your Name for case records.

Let us know if you have any other queries.

System model is: Inspiron 5447

The BIOS is A10. It was already updated.

I didn't encounter any error after run diag (F12)

System overheats only after shut down because in fact it doesn't shut down complete. Anyway i gave a look to the fan and it is clean.

Have to check about Haswell driver.

What else can I do?

Thanks,

Hi PABLOCONINSPIRON,

Thank you for the update.

The Haswell driver is not applicable for your system model.

If the system was working fine earlier, then perform a system restore to restore the machine to an earlier point where it was working fine

Restart the system in safe mode and shutdown and check if the system turns off completely.

Enable the built in admin account and check if the system goes through the shutdown process and turns off completely. This will help isolate if the issue is profile related or OS related.

Lastly,  create a system restore point and then uninstall the existing video drivers from device manager - without restarting or installing a new driver, click shutdown and check if the system turns off. If yes, then install the video drivers from the support site.

Let us know if you have any other queries.

Hi Pablo,

Thank you for the update.

Since the system shutdown works fine in safe mode, I would suspect it is a driver issue.

Boot to your standard account and uninstall the existing video drivers - DO NOT install the drivers yet, shutdown the system now and check if it goes off. If yes, either the Intel or the AMD driver is causing the issue. You would need to try reinstall the driver from the vendor site - Intel or Amd

Keep us updated.

Hi,

I uninstalled the existing video drivers without installing them back. In the meantime it was using only the windows basic driver and it goes off completely with no problem.

Then I reinstalled the drivers from Intel first and then from AMD web sites.

Intel driver updated from v20.19.15.4531 to version: 20.10.15.4624

After restarting I tried to turn it off, but the problem persist.

Do I have to delete something in the register before installing the drivers??

Thanks,

Hi PABLOCONINSPIRON,

Thank you for the update.

Kindly isolate which driver is causing the issue, Intel or AMD?

So, uninstall the AMD and with only Intel driver installed, try the shutdown and check. If it works, then the AMD driver is causing the issue and you could try installing the beta drivers or older driver from Dell support site.

After uninstalling the AMD driver, if the issue persists, then the Intel driver is causing the issue. Then try reinstalling older Intel drivers and check if it works.

Keep us updated.

Hi PABLOCONINSPIRON,

Thank you for the update.

Glad to hear you managed to resolve the issue.

Regarding the Intel MEI, we shall pass this feedback to the relevant team.
