    After much digging on this Forum I recently purchased a XPS 17. All's been fine until the last few days. The issue I have is that when I press the power button to put the laptop into sleep the machine goes through it's run down proceedure. The wireless switches off, then the fans spin up and finallly the laptop hibernates. The problem is that as soon as it hibernates it switches back on a resumes.

    A full shutdown and reboot seems to solve the issue but after a few propper hibernate/resumes the issue comes back.

    Any ideas ?

    My guess is that you may have too many programs and/or too much data and when it tries to go to hibernate, there isn't enough space to write the data.
    When you shutdown and reboot, you clear it out...it works for awhile, builds up and reoccurs.

    Thanks for the advice. Strange though as the only thing running is Windows. Might give Dell a call on Monday to see what they say.

    Solved : Hybrid Sleep was enabled on the Battery and Plugged in profile. Disabled both and problem solved.
