This could be a driver issue. Bring up Event Viewer (right-click the Start Menu button and select from there), select "Custom Views" > "Administrative Events" and look in the "Source" column for "BugCheck". It might give you more information.

Hi there,

I have no idea why but the issue has solved itself. Sleep is working normally. I didn't find any information in the Windows Log, and powercfg lists no devices as wake armed.

Hi,

Thank you for letting us know that the issue is resolved .

Kindly do let us know if there are any other issues.

Thanks

Robin

The post just said that it didn't not find how to solve this.

I'm facing the same issue

Hi Robin,

Have you even read the original poster post ?

I'm tired of Dell support and once again here is outlined how bad it is.

I am having the same issue. My laptop is 14 months old. I have never had these issues. It started the past few days. I haven't installed any new applications or made any changes to my system. I've received the blue screen of death a few times since this issue has started. I have contacted Dell Support phone line and they put me in touch with some third party firm in India that has cost me a lot of money and has not fixed the issue. This is absolutely unacceptable. Please help me identify the issue and solution.

See my response above from a year ago. This is most likely a driver issue. Dell or Microsoft could have updated a driver. There was an update to the Intel HD Graphics 530 driver a few weeks ago which is causing people a lot of grief. Download, install, and run WhoCrashed (www.resplendence.com/downloads). This could indicate what program/driver caused the problem. Also as I said above, check the Event Log to see if anything shows there.

Hi Douglas.

Did you ever pinpoint what you may have thought the cause of this was? It's over a year after your issue and I'm experiencing the same problem.

I tried all of Robin's suggestions. Thought it may have been my mouse receiver, but alas.

This crashing has only started today, and out of the blue. Windows is current. I'm even running a different BIOS version than you when you had the problem.

I have an inkling that this could be a BIOS thing but I'm not sure. My laptop has also had an issue waking itself from sleep while shut that happens on occasion. Anything wake/sleep/startup/shutdown related is all over the place.

If anyone else has any more info on this problem, it would be appreciated. I know I'm a little late to the forum.
