Make it a warranty issue.

Since no make, model or details were offered this looks to be your answer.

Check Two Things As Well..

We cured one such problem here by updating the chipset/motherboard drivers and the wireless adapter drivers. Since you didn't tell us the brand name, model number, motherboard type, etc., there's not a lot of other information which we can provide.

I see that you've posted problems in the XP AND Vista forums.. Hopefully, there are different computers using different operating systems?

Hope this helps.

For now, from Dell.

Since it's very likely under warranty we give it's maker the first shot ar fixing it or replacing the laptop.
