What happens when I boot up the computer again it automatically goes into
sleep mode while it is booting up. I just then have a blank screen. My
computer is a Dell ACPI x86-based PC with the Vista Home Premium with an
Inspiron 530 hard drive. As far as I know I have all the updates from Windows
Update - this is a brand new computer, about 3 months old
