    I don't push any buttons. If I try to hibernate or sleep the computer, it will go blank but never turn off, then it will restart back up and resume windows and finish on the log on screen. If I unplug the computer it will usually stay off, but if it's plugged in it will restart every time. What is going on??!!?

    It's been doing this since I got it in July.

    hmm I have 176.44 installed currently. Like I said this has been doing this ever since I got it even before doing any driver upgrades.

    I will try the newest nvidia drivers and see if that helps.

    I had that problem on a M1210 I had, all i did was do a overall update on the machine and it corrected the problem.

    I'm having the same issue right now, but I have the Intel Chipset driver, not NVIDIA.
