Word from Dell please on this... I am so *** tired of using Dell products, where their driver support is just terrible. I guess this was totally my LAST product I ever bought from Dell.

I am an IT expert, so please dont ask me stupid questions or say something line "did you update the bios or drivers" Thank you.

Comping to the point:

It seems the SSD in the Tablet, the Sandisk X110 is not fully compatible with the tablet or Windows 10, or has just bad firmware or whatever. The problem seems to be related to a sleep modus of AHCI called HIPM/DIPM.

Windows randomly has bluescreens in sleep mode, the event logs say something about "disk failure" "E/A error", "device not found", "raidport0 was reset", and so on. All leading into a direction of disk issue. SMART health shows 100% OK and I am totally sure, the SSD is fine and it's a Windows driver issue. I guess the SSD goes into a sleep mode and Windows cant access it anymore (doesnt wake it up for whatever reason", and then freezes or bluescreens.

Found other related posts about this, for example here:

I tried the option with turning HIPM/DIPM off (active means off actually), but this is NOT a solution. Because this means, the tablet has HORRIFIC sleep drain. I tested it with powercfg and it shows, that when I disable HIPM/DIPM, the CPU never goes into deep sleep mode, and shows a HW of 0%.

Then there are lots of other issues with the tablet:

- randomly black screen in Windows 10 login screen, I have to wait about 30 seconds, then press power off/on to get a picture

- The WWAN module is terrible and stops works randomly, have to reboot Windows

I have newest bios, all drivers from the Dell page. I tried the default Windows AHCI driver instead of Intel one. I tried newest Intel HD drivers too (for the black screen issue in log in screen, no help).

PLEASE RELEASE A BIOS FIX for this. Set the correct power states in Bios for the SSD, so it wont ever happen anymore and dont need some driver hacks, which might not work for everybody.
