Laptop keeps unexpectedly shutting down while in sleep.

Hi Seveners,

I am new to the forums, so anything I do wrong here, please do correct me ;P.

The problem I am having is my laptop (all model details are on my profile, but I have no idea if they are added to this post or not) keeps unexpectedly shutting down during sleep mode. It goes a little like this:
1) Feeling tired so press start and presses sleep.
2) Computer goes into sleep mode
3) I go to bed
4) Wake up to find my laptop has rebooted, and is on my BIOS password screen.
5) Log in to find the "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown" error screen.
This has happened more than once, which is really annoying. I have tried updating all of my drivers, completing all windows updates, uninstalling recently installed programs, doing a virus check, etc. I am having no luck and I was wondering if you gurus of the internet could help me out with this.

Thanks,

Ben

PS. If you needed any more of my PC's information, I took the liberty of including the .txt from CPU-Z

1. have you checked harddisk turn off time @ Control Panel\System and Security\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings
2. may be a you have problem with you new video driver try a old driver or if you have a driver dvd then use it
I think video driver cause off all that, what I got with nvdia 320.49 whql certified driver.

Another option is Control Panel > Power Options > see pic for changes.

If this doesn't work try these

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Disk Check
