    Hi folks,

    Almost exactly a month ago i received my new Dell Inspiron 15r SE 7520.
    Right from the start i'm having issues with booting up.
    When the laptop boots up from either being shutted down or in sleep mode for i guess more than 2 hours, it crashes after approximately 1 minute after logging into my laptop.

    I made a video of this.

    Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520 - shutting down after boot up - YouTube

    In the video you will see that it takes quite a while to fully load all programs. I open Google Chrome (wich a always start with when booting up), this also takes a long time to load. When Google Chrome finally opens, the fan begins to blow harder for a second and then the laptop shuts down.

    NOTE That this is not because of Google Chrome. Sometimes i do not use my laptop after logging in. And then it still shuts down after for about 1 minute.

    I hope you can help me diagnosing the problem.

    Edit: i forgot to mention that after the descriped problem happening once or twice, the laptop runs fine.

    its the famous windows 8 syndrome.........(i have helped 2 friends with new win 8 laptops who had similar boot issues).

    there is many people with win 8 who have this kind of issues. (im pretty sure Microsoft will fix that in further Service pack updates)

    after trying different methods i at last reinstalled windows and put back all stock drivers in proper order....then it worked.
