[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1802240, member: 175845"] Using these steps would just be methods to try and test to see if the problem would disappear when using them. Setting up and using a "test user" would help diagnose the problem that might be some sort of software conflict when you are logged in normally using your username. Booting in safe boot mode could suggest the problem is more general and widespread and possibly caused by some third party software that would normally be disabled during the SafeBoot. If the problem disappears when using either of the methods, that will indicate better what the problem and cause may be. As for the console log, just glanced through and it should show something about "sleep" or "shutdown" and what ever happened just before that is what you should have a look. If it's even listed!!! - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
