Inspiron boots...sometimes

Hi!

I have an issue with my Dell Inspiron 15 3521. It mostly beeps on startup and doesnt pass a POST. However, every couple of times it boots and OS is loading... And it works until next power off / restart. I can also suspend and resume without problems.

About beeping - it beeps once so I guess it may be a motherboard failure... I tried reseting the CMOS without success.

Is there a way to omit the POST test at boot time? Why, when it manages to start, everything is ok? May this be a false positive?

I run diagnostics test after it booted successfully once and all tests passed.


Ps. My warranty has ended about a month or two ago :(

Hi,

Thank you for writing to us!

This could be a hardware issue.

Kindly Private message the service tag, We understand the system is out of warranty we will need the tag to check the system configuration and if you need and out of warranty service ( Chargeable ).

Thanks

Robin
