I have read it could be a hardware problem, but did a diagnostic and nothing is wrong. I completely wiped my laptop and its alright for a while. Now its starting again. Its a Dell laptop with Windows 7 only a few months old. Can anyone give me an indication of whats wrong with it or what it needs to fix or any ideas. Its got a 3 year warranty so that parts all good and a years software warranty so have time but would like anyones possible solutions.
