Hi guys,

I have recently installed Samsung SSD 840 pro 128GB to the main slot of Dell XPS L501x and existing Sata 2.5 HDD to the dvd-writer slot with the help of HDD caddy.

I have done fresh install of Windows 8.1 to the SSD partition.

The problem is, sometimes my system boots perfectly but sometimes a blank screen comes. I have to use ctrl+alt+del to restart my system. This happens sometimes twice or thrice before booting windows.


I have already installed windows multiple times to avoid this situation, but no luck :( 

I am already on latest bios version and there is no chance of new bios because Dell has already stopped manufacturing this product.


Please suggest me some solution.

Thanks in advance.
