I run all power saving options on never (on all my desktops). This was suggested by Dell and several long time members of the forum.
The advice was those options were developed for portables and can give unpredictable results on desktops.
If this is not your current mode of operation, it might be worth a try and see if it has any impact on your problem.
If there are any power saving options controlled by the BIOS I would take the same approach with them. Note any changes to the BIOS so you can reapply them, if required.
