Is this a desktop computer or a laptop? ? I am not familiar with Dell model numbers. I had a Dell computer at work and unfortunately when it did this we discovered it was the mother board. Check with Dell and see if there is a warintee for your mother board as many were recalled in the past including the one I was using at work.
