Hi Andy,
Thank you for sharing the information. Please try updating the BIOS and check if the issue reoccurs or not. Here are the steps:
- Click on the below link: http://dell.to/18NmI2D
- Enter the Service Tag of your system and select the operating system.
- Go to 'BIOS' and click on the BIOS available.
- Click on 'Download File'.
- Select 'For Single File Download via Browser'.
- Click on 'Download Now'.
- Save the BIOS on your desktop.
- Once the BIOS is downloaded on the desktop, right click on it and select 'Run as administrator'.
- Follow the prompts on screen and restart your computer.
Note: Do not turn off power before update complete. Connect your computer any surge protector (if available) to avoid any unexpected shut down. Also, disconnect all the external peripherals before updating the BIOS. All the programs should be closed and documents saved.
Please reply with the results.
