    After I let my computer sit for about 10 minutes the computer goes black, basically the screen powers down but the computer is still on. How do I bring my computer up again? touching the touchpad or keyboard doesn't work. I know sleep doesn't work I'm not sure if this has to deal with the sleep issue.

    thats sleep
    the aao doesnt get into sleep properly, so cant get out of it.
    the odd person has been able to get it to sleep properly once in a while, but it still doesnt resume.

    Thanks for the reply Rory, sucks that I'm stuck with only shutting down. Is there a way I can make my computer never sleep when idle? EDIT: it is in power savings section
