There could be a possibility that your system is going to sleep mode. I will recommend you to change the power options on your system and see if that makes a difference:
Click on 'Start'.
Click on 'Control Panel'.
Click on 'Power options'.
On the left side of the screen, click 'Choose what closing the lid does'.
Click the drop down on 'When I close the lid' and set it to 'Do nothing'.
Change it on both 'On battery' and 'Plugged in'.
Click on 'Save changes'.
In case the issue is still not resolved, uninstall and re-install video driver:
To uninstall the video driver:
Click on 'Start' and right click on 'My Computer'.
Click on 'Manage' and click on 'Device manager'.
Expand 'Display adapters'.
Right click the video driver and click on 'uninstall'
Once the driver is uninstalled, click on 'Start' and click on 'Control Panel'.

I am replying on behalf of DELL-Vikram M. I have reviewed the mini dump files. It seems to an issue with the operating system. I would suggest you to perform Refresh on the computer. The Refresh option is primarily a repair method. It is a great method of returning your PC to a known good state while preserving your files and a great deal of your configuration. With the Refresh option, your user accounts, data files, and some settings are preserved on your PC without the need to create a backup, or to make choices about what to keep or remove.
To Refresh Windows 8 please follow the below mentioned steps:
Open the General section of PC Settings by the key combination WIN KEY + C to open charms bar and click PC Settings.
Click the Get started button under Refresh your PC without affecting your files.
Click the Next button at the Refresh your PC step of the wizard.
You may be prompted to insert installation or recovery media if there is not a recovery image preconfigured on your PC.
Click the Refresh button at the Ready to refresh your PC step.
At this point, the PC is restarted, and the refresh actions are completed.
Please follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. You may refer to the link for more information http://bit.ly/PwgEW8 The above steps are for Windows 8 operating system. Please refer to the link if you are using a different operating system http://dell.to/Wj1rZe
Thank you for the response. Please check if the system overheats. I believe you are referring to the link http://dell.to/Wj1rZe. If you have performed PC Restore by following the steps in the article. I would suggest you to try the following steps.
Clean the air vents and update the system BIOS for your second computer.
Below are the steps to clean the air vents:
Check the vents on the computer to see if they are covered with dust and not allowing heat and air to pass through.
Turn off the System.
Unplug the AC Adapter.
Remove the Battery.
Use Compressed Air to blow the dust out of the vents.
Note: Please use compressed air can. When using compressed air can, use the can according to the directions on the side of the can as you can cause damage to the computer if used incorrectly.
Please ensure that BIOS is updated on your system:
Note: Before updating BIOS please ensure that: *Battery is 10%> or >10% charged *Battery charger should be connected *No external devices (flash drives, printers, external hard drives) should be connected. *All other programs should be closed and documents saved
It could be an issue with the operating system. I would suggest you to disconnect all the external peripherals (flash drives, printers, external hard drives) and check if the issue persists.
Please share if you have performed PC Restore as mentioned in my previous post. If not, I would recommend you to perform PC Restore.
To perform PC restore:
Restart PC, press 3-4 times when the Dell logo appears.

Follow the onscreen instructions to create a user account
In order to assist in a better way, I would need the service tag of the computer.
