    hello,

    I have a dell xps m1330 and for some reason, when i am surfing the web the computer locks up, screen goes black and then i have to press the power button and it takes me back to the sign in screen. And this seriously happens almost every 10 seconds. Whenever this happens the lock and wifi button light up so i believe it has to do with the wifi card. But the weird thing is, this only happens at home, in school it works perfect. And when run in safe mode works fine too. Can anyone help?
