I can tell you what it isn't, though.  I've found power management has nothing to do with it, so don't bother fooling around with your BIOS, like I did.  ;-)

Ummm, yes it does, and why are you touching your bios? if you install ATM when installing windows, it works fine until you start screwing with things.

3> Set up Windows properly and minimally

It really annoys me that Microsoft removed MSConfig in Windows2000 (but put it back into WinXP). I use AppPaths to keep Windows clean.

Unfortunately it is sometimes impossible to avoid this. Remote desktop, ODBC data sources, microcrud vb.net framwork server & other rubbish like that, which is useful rubbish  :-)

oh yeah, forgot to add, i don't shut my comp down using windows shutdown (heh heh, lucky i spotted the typo  :-) ) i made my own little vb proggy which closes all processes (if not possible it ignores them) and then does a force shutdown anyway  :-D
