windows 8 windows 8 restarts randomly on closing lid

[News Bot]

Hi,

I had windows 7 working fine on my Dell Inspiron 15N laptop for more than 2 years. Recently I upgraded my OS to Windows 8. Its working fine as far as the routine operations are concerned. But I am facing this issue - Whenever I close the lid of my laptop

to just put it to hibernate mode without manually doing it via Settings, the laptop restarts itself next time when I come back and press the power button. It does not come back to the state I left it in before closing the lid. This issue is happening to me

again and again for past 2 weeks. Also, when I try manually put the laptop in Sleep /Hibernate mode and press the power button it comes back on without any issue. 

I am using Power savings option in my laptop for battery performance.

 

It has been a constant headache for me now and Today I almost lost my unsaved work due to this random restart of Windows 8.

 

Please let me know what I should do to resolve this issue.

 

Thanks in advance. 

Cheers,

~Ed
