    I've had a problem with my SZ-450NC for as long as I can remember now, and I can't figure out what is wrong and how to fix it. Basically, my computer, running Vista Business, won't sleep.

    When I try to put my computer to sleep, I seem to have a 50% chance of success. The computer will start to go to sleep, and then right when all of the lights SHOULD power off and the computer should be asleep, the power light and and bluetooth light stay on and the fan speed goes to 100%. There is nothing I can do to wake the computer up -- it is essentially frozen. In order to reboot, I have to hold the power button down for a few seconds and then power it back up.

    Sometimes, however, I will try to put the computer to sleep and it will be fine. But then I will wake it up, try to put it asleep again, and it will fail once again.

    I tried doing a forum search and google search but it was to no avail. Does anyone know what might be the cause to this problem and how I might be able to fix it?
