i have a 2.16 core duo MBP w/ 2gb ram and 10.4.8.

i have it set to password the screensaver. sometimes if i leave the computer for a while (an hour plus) and it goes to sleep (either because screen is closed, or enough time elapsed), when i go to wake the computer up i run into issues....

A) instead of re-entering my password and going back to work, the computer is in the state that it is after a hard reboot...meaning i have the blue background, grey login box, and the OS and desktop all load fresh once I press enter.

B) i am greeted with the screen from A, but instead of allowing me to log in, it freezes, hanging at the rainbow swirly curser when i first press a key to enter my name...then i am forced to restart with the power button.

this happens maybe 1 out of 5 times...

any help?

adam

Have you done the Firmware updates? that could help you may have a problem with the PMU Power Management Unit that is restating the mac instead of sleeping, take out your battery and unplug it then press the power key this wil reset the PMU....
I hope I was helpful, if not please help me.....
