    The wifes laptop was blue screening. I did a fresh install. up to date drivers. Runs good but she still gets BS. The hibernation never did work well. sometime if you closed the lid it would never go to sleep or it would never wake up. I think what it might be doing is not going to sleep and over heating. I would tell her to just put it sleep yourself but she chasing 2 toddlers around and sometimes you do not get the extra second to hit a button.

    Does anyone else have an issue like this?

    Without knowing more about the system, it's hard to give a good answer. :(
    What operating system is it running? What video card/drivers? Either of those would be my first suspect.
