Hi sixx+seven,

All Dell computers are shipped with a built in Diagnostics utility which can help you diagnose the common problems with your computer hardware. I recommend running diagnostics on your Dell Laptop as the first step. Follow the steps below to run diagnostics:

1. Power on/restart the computer.
2. As the computer boots, press <F12> when the Dell Splash Screen appears.
3. When the Boot menu appears, highlight the Boot to Utility Partition option, or the Diagnostics option and then press <Enter> to start the 32-bit Dell Diagnostics.
4. PSA Diagnostics will run first. If you receive an error during PSA diagnostics check for the code here:

5. To continue onto 32-bit Diagnostics, Press N for No when it asks you to Continue Memory Tests. Press Y to Continue the Memory Tests.
6. Press the <Tab> key to highlight Test System Press <Enter> to continue to 32-bit Diagnostics.
7. Select Express Test, this will run a quick test of devices in the system. This typically can take 10-20 minutes.

You can find more details on how to run diagnostics from the below link:

Run the tests and do reply the results.
