    Did it before and got random BSOD's, but I didn't have the restart lag. I guess I could try that again, since my laptop has started waking itself up again and draining the battery in its sleeve and I'm at the end of my rope with this thing.

    Yup yup, been there done that. I posted in the other thread that the only hint I could find was that each time it would sleep then wake, it said had a "Completing a failed non-ReadWrite SCSI SRB request" error from stordiag at around the same exact time.

    mine started to wake from sleep with an unknown in the power troubleshooter event logs but I had enabled WWOL in the bios and wake on pattern match seems to allow the wakeup (I think) when the router checks whats on the network.

    What about disabling the network card before you put it to sleep as a test?

    Could try that. I have disabled the magic packet/pattern match in advanced options, so I'll see if it wakes up again.

    Magic packets normally ok, it's the pattern match that seems to trigger a wake up event if the router does a networkmap rescan.

    Anyway, fingers crossed.

    Fingers crossed. Aside, I've not had a BSOD in the two days I've been running ahci with Samsung's drivers. Knock on wood.
