    My Sony Turns itself off in sleep mode!!

    I have the Sony Vaio NW series laptop. Cost £650

    Ive had it about 6 weeks.

    The last 4 odd weeks everytime i put my laptop in sleep mode either by clicking for it to go into sleep mode or just by shutting the lid.

    The light glows on and off orange as it should in sleep mode but everytime after about 3 minutes the laptop turns itself on, the green lights come on and i can hear it and then it just turns itself off!

    sometimes when i turn it back on windows shows a message sayin "windows unexpectedly shut down and is looking for a solution"

    So i hope! and guess it must be windows that is causing this problem? i have windows vista premium but ive ordered the new windows 7, it should arrive shortly, im going to do a clean install of that so it wipes everything and starts fro mscratch on windows 7.

    Will that fix my problem? does anyone know any solutions? it is so annoying.

    Thanks
