I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 3537, and for the first few week or so it worked perfectly. But then I made the mistake of updating to windows 8.1. My first problem, where my computer does not wake up, may have occured prior to 8.1, as I shut down my laptop most of the time prior to 8.1. When I try to wake up my computer from sleep or hibernate, it appears to do something (the lighting changes), then just sits there with a black screen. I then have to hard restart. I have already turned off the fast startup option, and run the power troubleshooter, as I have seen suggested for this issue in my googleing for a solution. My bluetooth stopped working right after my update to 8.1. It could find and pair to a bluetooth headset I own, but immediatly disconnects, never connecting for more than a few seconds. I removed and reistalled the windows 8.1 bluetooth driver (have already updated all drivers for windows 8.1, in hope to fix this issue) and now it refuses to even notice my headset, which I often use with my ipod, so the headset is not the issue. In device manager, it no longer shows the 1705 bluetooth adapter, instead showing a generic one. My wifi is working fine though, which is a bit strange, seeing as the wireless and bluetooth drivers come together, and the 1705 dell wireless adapter is showing up fine. No little yellow tringles have ever shown up, even when the 1705 bluetooth adapter was clearly visible, as I have seen in other posts. Any help would be appreciated. Also, my laptop is not the touchscreen model, despite what my service tag keeps telling me, if that makes a difference. Has i7, 8gb ram, switchable graphics, (intel intergrated and amd 8850), if there are any other relevents specs, please let me know. Thanks for any help that you can give.
