Hi

My PC is a Aspire iDea 510 with a Intel Core(TM)2 CPU T5500. 1 GB RAM.
I'm running a 32-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack
1

I normally leave my computer 'on' after finishing working, and after 15
minuttes it goes into 'sleeping mode'. During the night the computer
automatically wakes up to search for software updates. If any update
(normally Windows-updates) forces the computer to restart it often (not
always !) apparently does a normal 'shut down' but immediately after
freezes - before I am allowed acces to the BIOS and Windows begins
loading.

I have to 'kill' the computer by pressing/holding the on/off button on
the front, and reboot manually in order to get in contact with the
computer again. By doing this everything seems to work fine

Anybody with a hint ?

Rgs Peter

Don't be so obsessed with searching for updates. Turn that off and
let Windows Update tell you when updates are available - normally only
happens once a month on the second Tuesday (IIRC).

Manuall put your computer to sleep and forget about it until you want
to manually wake it.

Works for me here.

Thanks Bill

I'll try that one
