    Whenever my computer goes into standby for a while, I come back from wherever I've been, hit the power button/any key to awake from standby, and I get a blue screen then the computer reboots. Anyone know anything about this? :confused:

    Corrupted OS, or registry I would say. That or a memory leak.

    Perhaps its time for a reformat?

    It could be a number of things. If it has only started doing it recently then it could be some recent change. Also, usually the automatic error reporting system would come up after something like this and then be able to tell you a little more about what has happened.

    All in all a reformat may take care of it though.
