There are several possible causes for this. Laptops are notorious for dust buildup and overheat issues. Take compressed air and blast out the vent areas. If you can push enough air through the vent leading to the CPU cooling fan, that may clear out dust clogging the fan, preventing proper CPU cooling. The next possible issue is a threat. Boot into safe mode - keep repeatidly pressing F8 key as soon as you power on - until a menu comes up. Using keyboard up/down arrow, select "Safe Mode" (with networking if available). Next, install Malwarebytes (free version) and perform a full scan. Also scan using your current antivirus. hope this helps, Danny

Dell Inspiron 17R 7720 Special Edition Laptop NO OS told at all how sad is thaT? 10 year old today, the big battery that old is NO GOOD. came new w7 or w8 and did you upgrade to w10? (is a go) drop the battery off the bottom fails now on AC power only? hummmmmmmm so easy to do that first... did you? batteries are no good this old. and short or overload VRM inside. oops. it is not a DISPLAY or MONITOR AT ALL IT Is a PC LAPTOP Well the screen goes blank and the PC os is not set to sleep mode? or (w10?)_ set to screens saver mode,. does the screen fail OMG in bios PAGE 1 held there.???>???? BIOs screens do not sleep ever, see that trick power on, hammer esc, and go to prompted page 1 of the bios if these test fails the screen is bad or the PC overheats. THE CPU SHUTS off if too hot at 90c. all do that. and is normal if allowed overheat, even laying on blanket or bet. we can run HWinfo32. for free and see the CPU overheat no need ever to rip off the heat sink cooling pipes. bios fails or does not, that is a binary path to the truth./. fails bad screen or overheats (or other causes even huge battery shorting (gee remove it first and run on AC power only) bios does not fail that means windows 10 is messed up, corrrupted or simply set up wrong ... easy no using just fingers , and HWINFO32 free and safe. or the display drivers are not from DELL.com get them load them. the only drivers that work and are not INFECTED are here w10 too. if only windows 10 is mess, bios works all day. install the w10 drivers, from dell.com the disable all sleep modes if still fail do the dell recovery or reload w10 the hdd must be tested and i see you did via F12. the PC does not fail in BIOS is a windows problem or boot to any Linux demo media, and linux runs all day then windows is a wreck, and the cures are tedious. (all sleeps off) or reload w10 did you now windows has reset (ms dot com read) and has w10 to w10 inline upgrade mode? <<< amazing fact, even no data loss. and goes to day1 settings Instead of wild expensive guessing next time ask for help and lots of free tests to do and not go broke and not suffer long down time. and learn to use Hwinfo32. see cpu temps. and more. https://www.hwinfo.com/download/ learn that CPU slows down before the last step, the CPU shuts of at 90C (by DESIGN and saves it;'s own bacon every time!!!) newer GPU do the same thing and newer SSD , yes the same thing NOW. learn and how to sees that at any time with a free app. all PC sleep , if allowed, if the wake from keys are dead, that too fails. just turn off sleep to prove that. if sleep is hard stuck push power button for 10seconds and that magic intel ship resets and power turns on now. amd or intel the same way. any good tech knows all this.

The docs, including the service manual, for the Dell Vostro 238 are at this web page. If you're looking for an actual circuit board schematic, you're probably out of luck. If you need the board layout for jumpers and so forth, the service manual page 28 is for you.

Computers and televisions do not mix well. The television doesn't understand the computer Operating System and video signal. Hopefully, our Computer Guru Larry Ng will be along soon.

i reccomend combo fix and clamwin, combofix, is dangerous if not run right but you can find it online with a user guide. clamwin is just a free antivirus. you can also download loaris or trojan hunter but that costs money to purchase.

This is basic troubleshooting. First without any information, when is the last time you cleaned the inside of the computer, and do all the fans work? I once had a computer start doing this, it was from over heating. Let's start there. It could be one of thousands of things that have gone wrong. Next, is there a reason why it was not updated? I am not a fan of frequeny system updates, but sometimes it's unavoidable.
