    I'm having trouble getting my w3j to turn back on correctly when coming back form hibernation. I hear the windows noise but my screen doesn't turn on. I've also had it lock up in stand-by/hibernate.... I heard these issues were fixed with the latest bios (207 i believe?) is asus.com the best place to get the bios? Also i heard changing the hard-drive timeout solves problems but should we really need to do that in order to get the notebook to work properly?

    So whats the best idea as of now for fixing issues?

    bios or reinstall to whole drive without dual partitions. Both seem to fix the issue. Also someone posted to uncheck the box that says prompt for password in the power management from control panel
