    Hey guys

    When i got my AAO150 i noticed that sometimes AAO doesn't go to sleep mode. Screen just turns black and its not responding on anything and i can't get back to windows before i restart my AAO. I have done bios update and my current version of bios is 0.3309. If anyone could help me i would be very happy :)

    Often times power settings can affect this. If your display , hard drive, etc are set to turn off after so many minutes of inactivity, it can appear 'dead'. It takes a moment for the hard drive to spin up, then start the display, etc. Could be these are set to happen before the sleep mode kicks in.
    Also, try the escape key ESC to wake it up from the black screen mode, see what happens.

    Nothing happen when i press ESC or anything else, it seems that only restarting the computer is the only way to get back to windows. And i forgot to say but this doens't happen always. Only about 4 times of 10, but it is really annoying :|

    Have you tried using the power button to wake it up? Just a quick press...just a thought.

    It sounds like it may be hibernating. You might want to disable hibernation and try again.
