    Hi there,

    I have a Sony VGN N320E, and lately it's had a couple of problems. First, for no reason it restarts itself often. This mostly happens when it's not being used, when it's in stand-by mode. There is no pattern to these restarts, sometimes just after it's been turned on, sometimes when it's been on for a while, and it does this frequently, but like I said with no pattern.

    Also, the laptop screen freezes up and turns black, no icons show at all, only the background. I have to restart it to get icons back. Sometimes I loose the entire screen and a white notice covers the entire screen with a note 'click here to restore your background' If I click on this, the icons and screen are restored. This problem happens when the laptop is in use.

    I hope someone can help me out, give advice or such for these problems because they're happening more and more often. Very annoying!
    Thanks much,
    Buggs
