Question

Dell XPS 15 goes to sleep whenever processing

Hi there, I've been having a problem where my Dell XPS15 9570 would go to sleep whenever the system starts to exert itself, both during playback and/or exporting. If it's a low resolution video it's usually alright, but when it goes onto 4K footage and/or HD with a lot of effects it'll just go to sleep on its own.

 

Anyone has the same problem and knows how to fix this problem?

>runs on a lower capacity when only on battery power

 

OK... that says laptop... which, as far as I know, means NO FAN for cooling

 

IF your laptop has cooling vents in the bottom, find and buy a laptop cooling platform... a platform with a fan or fans inside it to blow cool air into the laptop

If that is a laptop (not everyone knows model numbers, so supplying more information is good) do you have the laptop connected to the AC power adapter?

 

I don't have a saved link about a computer going to sleep, only this about a more severe stop

ADDED... if that is a laptop, you need to monitor the internal temperature, since a high temp can cause a shutdown

It's an XPS15 9570 (32GB ram, 8750H processor, 1TB Samsung evo 970 SSD, Nvidia 1050TI-MaxQ). 

 

Thanks a lot! This seem to correlate with the problem I have, given that the problem doesn't occur when the CPU/GPU runs on a lower capacity when only on battery power.

 

Any idea how to work around this?
