# Dell XPS system issue repair

An **XPS** that will not start, shuts down under load, or throws **blue screens** needs a split diagnosis: **power and thermals**, **storage health**, **RAM**, then **mainboard** if those check out. We do not swap random parts to see what sticks.

## What you might notice

- **No POST**, black screen, but fans spin (often RAM, storage, or BIOS corruption).
- **Thermal throttle** or sudden power-off in games or exports (paste, fans, VRM).
- **Random reboots** after sleep (driver stack, sometimes battery or board).

## How we narrow it

We log **temperature curves**, read **SMART** on the SSD, seat **RAM** properly, and test with **known-good peripherals** where it saves time. On **USB-C only** charge models we rule out **charger and port** before we blame the board.

## Repair paths

Depending on findings we may replace **fans**, **paste pads**, **SSD**, **battery**, or **DC-in / daughterboard**. **Liquid** and **shorts** get their own strip-down; we quote corrosion work separately when we open it.

You leave with a clear note of what failed, what we changed, and what to watch for next.
