Windows 7 Locking up, winsock reset is only fix
We have quite a few laptops that are locking up when turned on. Sometimes a reboot will fix this, other times, we are forced to reset the winsock. I've ran Dell diagnostics and the drive diagnostics. I've seen nothing that is wrong. The event log show various items, but the only critical item is a kernel-power. The rest are errors or warnings. I've also updated the bios to a newer version too. Tech at Dell are pushing a reinstall of the OS, which really is a last option.

It's not all of my computers, but various ones. All worked fine during setup, but started to have issues after my users got them.
