This is a strange error and I have normally found that it happens after unplugging from charging and setting the tablet to sleep. I have found that if I use driver version 8.1.10605.221 of Intel's DPTF rather than the latest one posted on Dell's support site (which also gives the reset to 40% brightness bug) this then happens very rarely, if at all. Also update your BIOS to the latest version (.19).
Ok let me know if the issue happens again. To clarify, I didnt mean it happened during charge - it would happen after charging when i had unplugged the tablet, then set it to sleep.
Just to check, what is your SSD brand in your 5175?
Yes I tried it but it said I had the latest firmware already. Give it a go. I guess the drastic way to resolve this would be to buy another SSD which would probably solve the issue immediately. Or wait for a firmware update (or even a windows update) that addresses the issue.
By the way, I turned off hibernate on my 5175 and have not seen these issues since. I think this is a problem with hibernate enabled on these SSDs. You can see in the change log of the firmware for these SSDs that the last revision addressed a sleep issue with these SSDs. obviously didn't fully fix the problems.
You might be right but just to check... do you have both hibernate disabled in Power & Sleep menu, "save me power when my device knows I'm away" and in your power plan hibernate options?
