Vista - System freezes after being idle!!

02-17-2008

Vista Home Premium on a new DELL Inspiron 530 since 9/07. Was just fine
until couple of weeks ago when it started to freeze after sitting idle for
even short periods of time. Thought it was the driver for my NVIDIA card and
downloaded latest driver twice but that did not work. Contacted DELL at
least three times and nothing they tried solved the problem. Very
frustrating when the sstem has to be restarted all the time. Please help.

The problem I had with my brand new Dell Inspiron 1720 (Feb 08) was with the
anti-virus software that I chose when ordering the laptop - PC-cillan
Internet Suite 14. As soon as I uninstalled that software it didn't give me
any more hibernation or shut-down issues. Trying to get Dell to reimburse
me for the software that didn't work out of the box.

I just joined this forum about 1 minute ago. I have the exact same problem in a Toshiba Satellite L300D, Vista Home Premium 32bit. I don't know what possibly causes this, but if I find an answer I'll post what I find.
