    It sounds more like a hardware problem. I would recommend checking to see if there are any new BIOS versions or even drivers on Dell's website.

    Most mass consumer PCs, especially if they are early batches, tend to have obsolete or unstable drivers or BIOSs by default. Be careful updating the BIOS. Make sure that your battery is fully charged, and that there is little chance of a power outage.
