    I did see a long thread on a problem like this. with no answers. I can get to the windows log on screen and it locks and then blue screens. I am running 11.6 on the video. I ran a blue screen checker to find a HAL.dll causing the problem. AW tech supportb wants to uninstall the ati drivers and reinstall the old dell drivers. Its kinda the same problem when I allow this thing to hibrinate on its own, like the other thread on that issue.
    Nothing but problems with this rig since I got it. Had replace mobo, one video card and several calls to AW who always want to change all kinds of setting that do not fix any problems.

    does anybody have a fix for this.

    Thanks
