sorry for like the triple post... just wanted to say for anyone who's had the same problem, it looks like mine was a hardware thing. Something old that I'd connected as an external device. It just didn't agree with my computer, and bad stuff happened. My computer is back where it should be...

Hey guys, just to bump this a little; I'd be grateful for any help as I'm still having issues. Should you want me to attach the latest dumps, let me know and I'll do so.

update - left my computer running but unused for a couple of hours. When I came back, the wireless had gone odd, so I unplugged it, and it wasn't responding when I plugged it back in. Then the computer didn't want to restart (sat on the "shutting down" screen for ages). Looks like we've still...

Right, that was checked, so I just unchecked that. Computer successfully went to sleep after having been awake for several hours, which is fairly promising. On another note, that seems to have improved my wireless, somewhat, apparently. So even if that *wasn't* the issue, quite glad you pointed...

It went to sleep this time, but I'm not entirely convinced the problem has resolved itself. I guess we'll find out when I...

My drivers were the first thing I checked - they're all up-to-date. At one point I thought it might be a new driver upsetting the system somehow, so I rolled it back. That did nothing, so it's been re-updated. Other than the USB stuff, I get 2 errors: Platform Power Management Capabilities:PCI...

Hullo there. Wonder if you can help me: I have a nice little self-build, courtesy of a couple of my gaming friends, that's been running happily and working like a charm since early Februaryish kind of time. In fact, I couldn't fault it at all, until I had to move my computer between homes. Once...
