ASF2 Force off
Hi
i am experiencing random reboots on my Dell Latitude E5440. Following has been noticed:-
1. BIOS log shows "ASF2 Fore off"
2. My Dell is also detecting unexpected shutdown.
3. My Dell Schedule Scan has passed all hardware tests.
4. At times while the laptop is plugged in, the task bar occasionally shows "battery undetected"
Need help to avoid these random reboots

I am facing similar issue in Dell Gaming Laptop series 7000. It's random shutdown or restart once in a day.

has anyone noticed it always happens at exactly 60% battery life? then randomly thereafter. I am just about to put it back in the box to send it back and find something else sadly, because this issue seems all too common. Just wanted to mention this in case it helps someone out.

My one week old xps 9360 has exactly the same "ASF2 Force off" issue, and now that duchboy100 mentioned it I've realized it's about the same 60% battery life when the unexpected shutdown happens, then 50%, etc... and i've also realized the "Remaining battery life" clocks would mass up after the shutdown and reboot, e.g. 1 hr 05 min (50%) which could later become 5 hr 20 min (50%)... I can't find many recent posts with solution except downgrading BIOS. I'm sure many have complained this very issue to Dell. Hope they have a new BIOS update soon!
