i put my computer to sleep this morning, went to school, came back 11 hours later. the sleep light is off and not pulsating. the computer won't wake up, and it is burning so hot that i can barely keep my hand on it for long periods of time. i've had problems waking up before, but never this intense heat issue. i just upgraded to 10.3.3 today. wtf? this computer has given me nothing but headaches since getting it a month ago. are there any resetting things i can do to try to alleviate these issues?

sounds pretty intense... what hardware accessories have you got attached? 3rd party memory upgrade? Do you have any system hacks or modifications? one of those could be causing a problem with PB sleeping.

I have had this happen twice with my 15 inch AL since i upgraded to 10.3.3.
Last night I put it to sleep before going to bed, when I went to wake it up in the morning it was very hot and would not wake. I had to restart it and then everything was ok. Other then ram it is completly stock and nothing was hooked up to it other then the power cord.
