    Having some problems with my new sager P8150. When I put it into sleep, it occasionally crashes, so when I start it I receive notification of the crash, and the screen is offering a list of stop options (safe mode, normal, etc).

    Any ideas what could be causing the crash?

    I tried a few optimization tweaks, but they seemed to make windows more unstable, so I reverted to my original restore point. Since Ive only tweaked by reducing the pagefile to 1GB. It isnt a huge issue, but it's frustrating im having a new machine crashing on me.

    Do you have a SSD in your lappy? If so, which one.

    If its an SSD, update its firmware. updates seem to reolve such common problem.

    If problem persists, download some RAM testing sofwtare such as memtest86 etc which will scan your RAM for any fault. Sleep related crashes are mainly caused by faulty RAM's.
