    Whenever I wake up the computer from sleep, the wireless card is always off and there's no way to turn it on (i've tried the manual switch, i've tried enabling/disabling). So I try to restart, and when windows shuts down, the computer stays freezed with a black screen.
    It's not something that happens sometimes, it happens every single time I put it to sleep. Ideas? Suggestions?

    Thank you

    Don't ask me why but the problem seemed to be the gpu driver. I was using DOX drivers and since I uninstalled them and installed nvidia's through win update, i'm not having this problem anymore.

    I know this was a known issue with W7, which I had, seems odd that uninstalling the gpu driver solved the problem.

    The way I solved it was to go to the Wireless card properties, and on the power managment untick "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
