    The alien consciousness is punishing you for disrespecting their tech.

    Nonetheless, ask the emos -- they'll help you fix it. :)

    if you turn it on from sleep, there is a well known issue with vista that the sound doesn't work at all/cracking. I have the same issue.

    If you turn it on from cold, then it's another problem.
