At first, you need to launch Google Chrome internet browser and visit Gmail account page. Enter the correct email address and password and directly go to internet settings. Select cache and cookies button to remove that is stored into the browser and select the Gmail IMP files and the right click on the screen. After that, you can inspect element and then select resources tab that will be at the top of the developer tools Windows. Select the cookies and click on the mail.Google.com and thereafter click on cookies button. You can simply close the developer to refresh the page and select all cookies to delete soon. Now you have to select the cookies to get connected with your browser and select the settings page of the Google Chrome. Select the advanced button and show the privacy in the General settings and select cache and cookies button. Now press the refresh button and click on the cache and cookies button from Google Chrome internet browser. Scroll down at the bottom and then click on remove button at the end of the task.

There can be several reasons why Gmail is not loading on your Dell XPS 8700 Desktop. Firstly, you need to make sure that you are using a browser compatible for using Gmail. The browsers that support Gmail are Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari.
(Note: Internet Explorer does not support "Desktop Notifications" feature while only Google Chrome supports "Gmail Offline" feature.)

If you are using a compatible browser but still unable to load Gmail, make sure that you are using a browser version compatible with your Windows version. To check this, you can refer to the respective Microsoft Support page of your Windows version. Following is the link for Microsoft Support Center:
http://support.microsoft.com/

If you are still unable to resolve the issue, you can try one-by-one the following solutions suggested by Google Support:

Solution 1:

A few programs like internet security apps, anti-virus, or a few firewall applications can prevent Gmail from loading. Some of the common examples include AVG, Avast!, McAfee, and Norton. If you are using any one of these, you can try disabling them temporarily and see if Gmail loads correctly. If it loads, contact the support team of the respective software causing the issue so that you can make necessary changes in its settings to support loading Gmail henceforth. In the meanwhile, you can enable the security program you previously disabled to keep your system security intact though this may disallow you to load Gmail till the changes in the settings are made.

If temporarily disabling one or more programs listed above do not resolve your issue, enable them promptly and try the next solution mentioned below.

Solution 2:

Have you added any extensions or add-ons to your browser recently? At times, such additions may also prevent Gmail from loading correctly. One quick way you can use to confirm if one or more extensions or add-ons are restricting Gmail from loading is to try using safe mode/ incognito/ private browsing mode of your browser. This will disable all the extensions added to your browser and help you to check if any one of them was causing issues for Gmail.

Note:
1) To use "No Add-on" mode of Internet Explorer, you can refer to the following link:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-browser-addons-affect-computer#1TC=windows-7
2) To use "Safe Mode" in Mozilla Firefox, you can refer to the following link:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode
3) To use "Incognito" mode in Chrome, you can refer to the following link:
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95464?hl=en
4) To deal with add-ons or extensions in Safari, refer to the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3230

If disabling extensions and add-ons helps Gmail to load properly, you can try going into the normal mode of your browser and disable add-ons or extensions one-by-one to check which one is causing the issue. If you are able to detect the one that is preventing Gmail from loading correctly, you may need to refer to the support page of the respective add-on for proper resolution.

If these solutions do not resolve your issue, refer to the following Google Support page to find some more solutions:

Internet connection is slow or its just refreshing the page continously.

Sometimes when a video loads from the Internet (referred to as "streaming"), it can get "stuck" in your browser at some point before it finishes. This is normal, and is usually solved by refreshing the page up to a few times. However, if the problem persists, you can try switching Internet browsers (for example, if you're using Internet Explorer, you can try Firefox, Google Chrome, or Safari). If the problem still persists, YouTube's servers are probably overloaded, so it might be a good idea to wait a while.

Uninstall the Adobe Flash player and reinstall it and then see wether its work or Not

Are you by any chance using TrendMicro Internet Security? I had that exact problem and I had to disable the TrendMicro toolbar in my browser in order to get that to stop. For some reason, Gmail does not like being monitored. This may even be true with any other major Security software like Symantec and the rest. Disable the security toolbar and it will not freeze up on you.

If you're not using a security software at all, then please advise what browser you are using. As in: IE 7, IE 8, or Firefox?

try doing a system restore on it. To tell You the truth I can't stand Norton because if You miss one of the updates it just doesn't seem to work. I had Norton a long time ago and got rid of it. All My family and friends that had it got rid of theirs also. Hope that helps You out. You can contact Me at [email protected] if You have more questions.
