I have an XPS 9570 that is a few months out of warranty. It frequently shuts down with no warning, and not during CPU or GPU intensive tasks. It happens more often when on battery, especially < 50% battery, but it also happens when battery is 100% and power adapter is connected.
From Event Viewer:
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
I'm having a similar issue; on both windows and Linux (dual boot) the laptop randomly enters sleep mode every 15-30 seconds. It will do this for a while, and then just as suddenly it will stop.
I need help with the asap. The laptop is under 2 years old.
We tried reaching you on a private message but did not receive a response. Please feel free to reply to the private message whenever you are available.
There is a post flagged as the solution saying update to the latest bios. I have done this, as have others on that thread, and the problem has not resolved.
I've never experienced this sort of systematic failure within 2 years. Especially not from a high end machine like the XPS15. I expected higher build quality and customer support from Dell.
Surely someone there can offer some sort of troubleshooting advice?
I noticed in my BIOS events there's an error: "ASF2 force off". This seems very common from reading the forums; one user who purchases large quantities of Dell gear reported 20% of his fleet is affected by this error. And it seems to crop up shortly after the warranty expires. From what I've read, the only fix is a new motherboard.
I'd bet that its less shutting down, and more because of a BSOD. It seems a common problem on the 9570's
If I were you, I'd download 'WhoCrashed', just run it and hit 'Analyse' then scroll down a bit.
Hopefully there is something listed in there other than 'hal.dll' and you can narrow down the cause of the problem. Hopefully just a driver that you can update.
Even I facing the shutdown of the laptop every 10minutes with XPS 15 9570. The age of the laptop is just 1.5 years. If anyone has a solution please provide it to resolve.
been facing it for a few months now, and especially after latest bios update (September 2020) got even worse. makes laptop unusable after just 2 years (!)
I'm having the exact same problem. Started yesterday. My motherboard was replaced about three months ago for a different (worse) issue. I love this computer but it seems to have real problems unfortunately.
I've been having the same issue. My XPS 9750H keeps shutting down. Often, I have to push the power button multiple times for the computer respond afterwards. It is approx 3 months old.
