BSOD when computer goes idle
I got a new computer at the end of August. Since I've had it the computer keeps shutting down when idle. I've called Dell multiple times and they just keep having me do a system restore. They recently came and replaced the motherboard and reinstalled the OS. I keep telling them when the problem starts occuring but since running the MCPR tool isn't working, their solution is to keep restoring to factory settings. Their next step is to replace the computer entirely but I'm pretty sure that's not going to solve anything.
The computer came with McAfee installed, and I uninstalled it (uninstalled through control panel > restart > ran MCPR > restart) before installing Kaspersky. This is when I believe the problem starts occurring. I've tried emailing Kaspersky and they just told me to run the MCPR tool and declared the issue resolved. Uninstalling Kaspersky might solve the problem (though disabling the program doesn't) but I have a 3 year subscription and I really don't want it to go to waste. There is another computer in the house that is also an XPS and running Windows 7 so I'm hoping that there is a way to resolve this where I can continue using the program.
I don't know if this is relevant but the computer only seems to shut down when idle when I leave programs running? If I leave Word or Firefox running the computer will shut down if I let it go idle without fail. But there have been a few times when I haven't left anything running and the computer wont shut down.
And in case this is any help this is what I get when windows tells me it shut down unexpectedly:
