Recently i've been putting my computer into sleep mode but in the morning I've been finding the fan going full tilt while still apparently asleep .When I touch the keyboard to wake the computer it stays asleep . I have to hold down the power button to get it to shut down then I can restart it again .How can I diagnose this fault ?

Maybe if i'd posted in the showbiz forum .
Have a look in the various logs it compiles for any error messages during the time it should be asleep. That might give a clue as to what is happening.
I'm not going to recommend this unless you know what you are doing, and the risks involved, but these sorts of issues are normally only able to be addressed with a motherboard BIOS update, which might be available on the Dell website. I'm not going to recommend it though as if the update goes wrong for any reason, you could be left with an unusable computer.
