Hi and welcome to fixya!

There are two ways to restore this machine to factory settings;

First is thru the Recovdery partition in the hard disk itself:

• 1 Close any windows currently open and click the Inspiron's "Start" button. Select "Shut Down" and choose the "Restart" option.
  
• 2 Tap "F8" when the Dell image appears on the screen. Continue tapping the key until the advanced boot menu loads.
  
• 3 Scroll down to "Repair Your Computer" and press "Enter" to access the DataSafe local backup screen. Click "Next." Select "Dell Factory Image Recovery and DataSafe options."
  
• 4 Click the "Restore without preserving new or changed files" radio button and click "Next." Click "Next" three more times and click "Restart" to restore the disk drive to its original condition. Follow the on-screen prompts to set your operating system settings.
  

If the hdd was already repartitioned or corrupted, the second option should work:

• 1 Insert the Dell recovery disk in your Inspiron's optical drive and close the "AutoPlay" window when it appears. Shut down any other open programs. Click "Start" and select "Restart."
  
• 2 Tap "F2" as soon as the Dell image appears on the laptop's screen. Scroll to the "CD-ROM" option and press "Enter." Tap any key when you see the "Press any key to boot" option.
  
• 3 Press "Enter" when the setup screen appears. Press "F8" and highlight the Dell's hard drive partition. Press "Enter."
  
• 4 Follow the instructions on the screen to choose the Inspiron's operating system options. Click "Finish" and remove the recovery disk from the optical drive. Click "Start" and select "Restart."
  

Hope this helps!

Hold down the power button for 10 seconds. That will hard-shut the PC. Once that is done, fire it back up, and try again. Somethimes, windows will act goofy shutting down. Especially Vista when it is left on too long without shutting it down.

There could be a corrupted file. I would try to give dell tech support a call

Check your computer bios settings. There is a power managment section. Turn off power managment or set it to os controled. Check dells support site for any acpi drivers that you may need. These are needed for suspending controls.

Hope this helps.

1.if you are using vista rather thatn clicking on the shutdown icon,click on the arrow next to it and choose shutdown.

2.wait for your computer to completely shutdown before closing it.(xp/vista)

3.Check your computer for viruses with a good antivirus software.(xp/vista)

Right Click on desktop--> Properties--> ScreenSaver-->Power--> Advanced
