    Sometimes when my computer gets put to sleep, and I try to turn it on it does nothing. I can hear that the computer "turns on" and the little lock with the 9 on it lights up but the screen stays blank. The only way I figured to get around this was to hold the power button to manually shut down the computer and then reboot that way.

    I've heard of this being a problem when doing a reformat clean install but I did that over a month ago and this sleep problem has only started a couple of days ago.
