Hi

Recently, I had the closest thing to real hassle I've had since I got my machine - often, it wouldn't sleep or shutdown. I reset the power thingy inside and it fixed the problem.

Now, the problem seems to have reappeared. Surely I don't have to keep popping my machine open? I lose the monitor connection, but the machine stays active, requiring a hard shut-down/restart.

What causes this kind of thing?

I've only got the graphics card installed, but the battery might be the issue. I'll look into this and possibly change it. Thanks for the suggestions.
