    Finally got my XPS 13 9350. Mostly all good but i am getting an issue waking from sleep - the screen just displays garbage then clears then same again. I have to hibernate or cold boot to fix it. I suspect its a graphcs driver issue.

    From factory it has come installed with an old 520 driver (from July). On Dell's site there is one dated 15th Oct and there's also a beta driver on the Intel site dated Nov 20th:

    Intel:
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/do...a-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-1-10-15-40-

    Dell:
    http://www.dell.com/support/home/au...-13-9350-laptop&languageCode=EN&categoryId=VI

    So anyone else seen my issues? And recommendations on which driver version to install or is there any even newer version avaialble anywhere?

    Mine had the October driver installed when I got it, I dont have your issues but the Display Driver keeps crashing while browsing. Im installing the beta-driver as we speak.

    EDIT: Well, that didnt work... "The driver being installed is not validated fr this computer". ****.

    I forced Windows to scan for a driver update and it loaded the October one. It has fixed my issue.
