[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1384470, member: 42497"] With laptops a clean install sure seems the way to go. Do a search of the forums looking at similar problems and most recommended cure is a clean install of Lion. This is nothing new. Clean installs were the preferred option way back in Jaguar days OS X.2 rather than the upgrade path. If you purchased Lion, go to the App Store, hold Option and hit purchase and Lion will come up. Double cluck to download another copy f.o.c. and burn it to a USB thumb drive which will be bootable.
