    M11xR2, i7@158, ThrottleStop ON, 4 GB RAM

    Scenario:
    -Chrome or some other program is open running fine
    -I press sleep, goes to sleep in like 5 seconds
    -Press Power Button to awake from sleep
    -Usually the PC will be operational nearly instantly and be functional for about 2 seconds.
    - THEN it essentially freezes up for about 15-30 seconds. A LONG TIME.
    -After this time it is back to normal and runs great.

    This is extremely frustrating.
    Does anyone else have similar issues with their M11x?
    Any idea how i should fix this?
    Perhaps reinstalling windows?

    No issue like this for me. Newest Intel IGP drivers and newest nVIdia drivers :)

    Also Intel RST (not really useful for me). I have a Vertex II SSD.

    My sleep works fine but Hibernating takes about two minutes from the time I click it to the time the machine turns off.

    Happily, reinstalling windows did the trick. My M11x feels brand new.
