    Using Linux certainly won't hurt the system at all, though I doubt you'll learn much that way.

    Go ahead and update the BIOS; you never know when an update will help. BIOS issues are some of the most frustrating things computer techs face; they can exhibit symptoms of both hardware and software issues. Hardware tests don't show anything, and reformats don't help!

    Give the the Intel drivers a try. If it doesn't work, no matter, and if it would have helped and we don't try it, we'll feel like morons.

    You might as well upload a full jcgriff2 report, which will automatically collect the dumps and many other files. See here: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tructions.html

    I think you'll find Ubuntu just doesn't have everything you want. Some of those are program incompatibilities, others are drivers. For example, I know someone who started to use Linux on his laptop, but switched back to Windows because the ACPI features weren't supported. His laptop ran at full power all the time, creating a lot of heat and draining his battery in an untimely fashion.

    aah yes the issues are always there i still cant get my wma lossless rips to play on it...the last time i had tried was 2 years back.

    anyways, turns out the display driver wasn't the latest (even not the latest whql) i've installed catalyst v11.5 and the system feels noticeably much quicker to resume from (and even entering) standby now. :) i've tried many times again and haven't encountered the issue yet...still can't say anything for sure for now judgin by my last hasty post..lol. will watch for a day or two and post back here what happens..

    Jonathan, I followed the link you referred to concerning KB977178 as I wanted to try it. MS gives the choice to download 3 different version. I tried the first 2 (64 & 86) and every time I ran the fix I receive a message saying something like "This fix cannot be installed on this computer".
    Did they maybe included that fix in SP1 or do we have another issue?

    Was there an error code given at all? If so, what is it?

    I really don't know if that hotfix was included in SP1, but I'd guess that it is.

    I don't think so, just the message.

    Perhaps there is something in Event Logs about that. Would you mind creating a new jcgriff2 report and either posting it in this thread or emailing it to me?
