Well, we have finally resolved the issues we had with our Dell Inspiron 5515 laptops.  My wife's laptop died (naturally, *after* the warranty expired), and I traded mine in on an HP laptop.  Replaced the wife's laptop with an HP.  So far, no issues with either one, and we've been able to run continuously *without* BSODS!  Can you imagine that!?  Bought the wife's laptop from Walmart, and got mine from Costco.  Wife's was a Core i5 with 16GB ram and a 512GB SSD.  Mine is a Core i7 with 16GB ram and a 1TB NVME SSD.  Neither laptop has the finger print sensor we got used to with the Dells, and the power button is in an odd place (6 buttons to the left, from the right edge along the top row of buttons) on the keyboard.  Got a $300 Costco trade-in on my Dell.  Ironically enough, we still owe Dell the balance that was due for the Inspirons we were making  payments on.  Frankly, we're glad to be done with them. I *could* have wiped my still working (after a fashion, ignoring the frequent BSODs) laptop and given it to someone to use, but I didn't feel right about giving away something I knew was defective.  Dell wouldn't admit it was defective, but we all know *this* model of Inspiron is most assuredly defective. Frankly, I'm glad we're done with these two headaches.  They've been nothing *but* headaches the entire time we had them.   The jury is still out on the HP laptops that replaced them, but so far, we've not had any issues that weren't corrected with updated drivers.
Dell Insprion 5515.   Frequent, and I mean today alone: 5 - 7 BSOD errors.  I have wiped and reinstalled Windows 10 Home, upgraded to Windows 10 Pro, then upgraded to Windows 11 Pro, twice.  Updated drivers, ran Windows Update, it's all current.  Ran Dell Support Assist.  It finds no issues with hardware or out-of-date drivers.  Yet, I continue to get BSOD errors.  Below is the analysis of the crash dumps of the past several BSOD errors.  While this report is only of the several that have occured today, it frequently mentions thermal issues.  I don't know what to do to fix any of this.  My wife has an identical model laptop (they were bought at the same time, same model, same configuration).  She has had *no* BSODs.  I have run the quick scan by Dell Support Assist, and the extended scan.  It finds no issues.  Yet, the BSODs continue.
