    hey everyone,

    my MB Air 11inch has recently began to exhibit a strange problem with it's instant-on features.

    e.g: i boot up the MB and after some usage i close the lid, where the MB automatically enters sleep mode. if after 10min i decide to open the lid again, the instant on works as well.

    However, after 30-50 min of letting the MB in sleep mode, it takes almost a whole minute before the apple logo on the back lights up and the MB wakes up..... this problem wasn't here when i first bought it.

    does anyone think this might be a software issue? cause it seemed to have started after i updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.5.
    Another issue is that i frequently get unexpected warnings to power off my MB for no reason and it crashes quite often this past week.

    anyone else have this issue?

    No I don't have any of these issues... It could be a software problem, however doing OS install (using the USB drive) may be the only way to rule out a hardware problem... Otherwise you can try (un)installing any programs that you installed and see what happens (VMs 1st)...

    Thanx, if the problem still persists I'll reinstall the system :)
