I purchased a Win10 Inspiron 7559 some time ago and after getting fed up with how much time i was wasting on solving Windows 10 problems, I purchased and installed a Windows 7 Pro license and installed it.
In the Win10 days, and now, after the Win7 install, I still have one problem. Occasionally the UEFI boot fails and the Dell bios starts to run memory diagnostics. No problem is ever found. The SDD on which the OS is installed checks OK. A reboot basically does the trick and it loads OK.
How can I diagnose what is going wrong? I read somewhere that installing for UEFI may be different from installing for Legacy. I installed Win7 from a mounted ISO. In any case, how do I solve this annoying situation of the boot occasionally failing?
