Hello, I hope someone can help me. Brand new Acer Aspire with Windows 7. It worked okay for the first month and then started to make a noise when the lid is closed - thereby freezing. My power settings are set to Sleep upon closing the lid and Task bar is not on auto hide. I choose updates myself, so there is nothing unwanted. Any suggestions, any help? Thanks.

Welcome to SF!

I suggest a system restore to get to a point before the troubles began.

Thanks for the suggestion - this laptop came with windows 7 so I do not have a disk per se as they suggest when doing a repair.

sorry, I dont know who to do a screenshot but this is what it says:
the following sleep states are available - standby hibernate hybrid sleep
the following sleep states are not available on this system: standby (s1) standby (s2)

The noise level is similar to when one inserts a cd/dvd in the drive - no peeps, just a low grade grrr grrr!!

Thanks, guys!
