Hi! I'm having an issue with my new XPS 9500. It overheats while sleeping and then all my tabs and apps are closed and I have to switch off the machine because it just freezes with DELL logo on the monitor. As I understand it has something to do with Modern Standby. 

I'm not very well-versed in computers and I'm trying to understand what those three options that were described in the FAQ actually do. I mean, I understand the steps in the instructions, I just don't understand which of them suits me best. Can someone please explain what they do and how they solve the problem (if they do solve the problem)?
