Hi Bob,
I wanted to touch base with you if you have a minute, my computer went in sleep mode while I made dinner last night - after couple hours - I touched keyboard to wake it up and clicked to shut it down & right before it had a chance to shut down my screen went black & message came up again... it was fien the night before I used it for a few hours then shut it down & got home last night & fired it up was fine few hours then as I said I went to cook dinner & well you know the rest.... any other ideas would be great.

Thank you very much - Shari
