Out of no where my computer started to crash (however there is no visible BSOD, the computer just shuts off when trying to sleep) when trying to go to sleep. After much trial and error I found that my TV Tuner (that worked perfectly for weeks) was causing it. Unplugging the tuner let the...

For the past few months I've had a TV Tuner (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950Q) plugged into my rear USB. Yesterday my computer stopped going to sleep/hibernation instead it would just hang shut off (no BSOD). After 2 hours of trial and error I found the issue was my TV Tuner. What would cause this? Is...

Any ideas? I just installed all the drivers from Dell (this is an XPSL521X) so I would guess it is one of those.

After about 2 hours during the day my computer will wake itself up and never go back to sleep on its own. When I run powercfg lastwake after that nothing comes up, just "Wake History [0]" Pressing the power button does nothing most of the time even though it is set in power options to send the...

I've read through the first 17 pages of this forum but I'm still having issues. When I run powercfg last_wake nothing comes up and event viewer has no record of my computer waking up and on the off chance it does Windows has no idea what woke it. Something else odd is that my power button only...

I have one of the strangest issues I have come across. After upgrading to 8.1 my power button doesn't always work when trying to enter sleep mode. It's how I send my computer to sleep and wake it up. If the computer is off or asleep and I press the button it works every time, but if it is on and...

Alright, also any idea on how to fix my libraries?

I will work on doing that and check back in. Also, does your first statement mean there was a problem with my ATI drivers?

I have had a BSOD twice during sleep and this time it caused my libraries to stop working.

I launched the video app for the first time today and realized how unorganized it is. I have many video clips and having just one huge giant list of all of them is not very ideal. Is there a way to add folders to the "my videos" section - or add my own TV shows in the TV tab?

Hello all, first BSOD problem with Windows 8. It happens when awaking form sleep mode, but it doesn't happen every time. BSOD Files: Thanks in advance!

Hello all, Just got a new XPS L521X with 8 pre installed but the battery life isn't that great. I am getting mixed responses about if this is the normal battery life (about 25% an hour). I put "powercfg /energy" in CMD and I got this back: USB Suspend:USB Device not Entering Selective Suspend...

I have messed around with it some more, I think I will just go ahead with the clean install. :/ I got past the error and now it just BSOD. EDIT: Went to try to refresh the PC, errors and it results in an error.

That didn't work :/ Thank you though Any other ideas?

No beeps. The Dell logo appears, loads, then shows the Windows boot screen for a split second before displaying the error. EDIT: Here is the error message I get -

Nope, when I try to boot into safe mode I get the same error.

I believe I have all my important documents but I still would like to avoid clean install if possible, but I fear that is my only option.

I upgraded from Win 7 Home Premium to Win 8 Pro (Dell XPS 15 L502X) Also I manged to open the error file that automatic repair makes: Startup Repair diagnosis and repair log --------------------------- Last successful boot time: ‎10/‎30/‎2012 4:09:24 PM (GMT) Number of repair attempts: 20...

I tried the automated repair from the install disc and it still could not fix the problem. Is there a more manual repair or another type I can try?

My computer goes straight to an error message after the BIOS, "The operating system couldn't be loaded because the system registry file is missing or contains errors File: \WINDOWS\system32\config\system Error code: 0x0000225" chkdsk /r says there are no errors and sfc/ scannow won't run, says...
