Ahhh. That prompts a possible solution. I would guess that you didn't have time to see if it had a BIOS upgrade available. From watching this list of a long period, I note that many ACPI issues are resolved when a BIOS upgrade is applied. I guess that manufacturers rush the stuff out the door and then later some issues are found and fixes made available. If you've not checked to see if there is a BIOS upgrade available, it may be worthwhile. Even if it doesn't solve the occasional operational issues, it may solve the reboot issues. > > <snip> HTH -- Bill
