I've got a Dell Inspirion 15R-5537 a week back. (Service Tag: <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed as per privacy policy> ) I installed Windows 8.1 from MSDN and everything was fine other than graphics driver from the dell site would give blue screen. I tried fresh installation, installed BIOS upgrade to A06 from dell site.
The AMD driver I downloaded from dell (AMD Radeon HD 8670M Driver ), giving my service tag gave a lot of problem, it makes the screen go blank and nothing happens for a hour. I have to reinstall my windows for this error.
I downloaded driver from AMD site using autodetect. Now, I've a working video driver from AMD and the rest is working fine except for the shutdown/sleep issue.
The problem is:
When I shutdown/sleep the computer(by any means), the screen goes blank, it shows "shutting down" while shutting down but, the power & wireless light is on, and when I press the power button, after any time, nothing happens. I have to press it for 10 secs and then start the laptop. I have searched a lot on the issue and I have a hard time installing and restoring windows and drivers time and again.
