Dell Venue 8 Sleep Problem
So guys, I've got a weird one here. Anytime I turn the tablet off (through any shut down method), put it to sleep(through the button on the side or on screen), put it into hibernation, or it automatically goes to sleep due to inactivity, it restarts. Instead of simply going to sleep, staying off or hibernating it always turns itself completely off, and then restarts. Twice I have also gotten the "Windows has encountered an error" message upon the tablet restarting. Another problem is that the screen does not dim, or go to sleep in the time that is specified within the power settings. I have it set to go to sleep after 4 minutes while on battery power, but instead it stays on for close to 25 minutes. This is making it so that the tablet is almost unusable. While it functions as normal while on, I can no longer simply leave it inactive or put it to sleep without it completely wiping everything I was doing and restarting. It only just started yesterday out of the blue, and I have no idea what happened at all. Any help would be very much appreciated before I have to send it back. Thanks.
P.S. The only way to keep the tablet from automatically turning itself back on if I am trying to completely shut it down is to hold the power button for about ten seconds.
