Dell G7 BSOD/WONT BOOT

So I recently purchased a Dell G7/7588 and one day while it was charging the laptop makes a loud sound and gives me a blue screen. When it restarted it would show the POST where the dell logo would appear then the spinning logo would hang then the laptop would restart and have a boot loop. Eventually I tried the SupportAssist and it gave me no errors. I have formatted the laptop and reinstalled windows and the problem persists. The laptop would only work if the charger wasn't plugged in. At first I thought that the 180W charger was the problem but a few of my friends have the same laptop so I have tried their chargers too and the same problem occurred. I cannot use my laptop for more than 2 hours because of heavy video editing. I have to shut down the laptop just for it to charge and wait for an hour. PLEASE HELP

Simply went into BIOS with the charger plugged (F2) then searched for TurboBoost. Then disabled it. Hopefully this helps to the people who have the same problem :)

Could you describe the sound?  I would also call support and get the problem on the record.

Its okay! I have fixed the problem by simply disabling turbo boost on the cpu. I think that the cpu was throttling whenever it booted but now it is completely fine! I thought it was a motherboard failure but who knows. I still get blue screen of errors time to time when applying drivers but it doesnt freeze or hang anymore. I can charge the laptop and use it completely fine.

Thanks a ton bro. You're a saviour. I've been facing this issue since a week now. Was unable to even reach the windows load. This solved my problem. You're really a saviour. If you were near me would treat you for dinner and hug you.
