Hi Michelle,
I do not know which would be the best forum - I don't really travel outside of this one, lol!
Probably http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum10.html would be best. Post a link to this thread if you post there.

You should also try this to help diagnose the problem:
-- See if you can boot into Safe Mode via the linky here and then see if you can restart normally.
Stuff like this is hard to diagnose. I just helped someone with a compy which wouldn't stay in sleep mode. Turned out to be a pesky driver that was "waking" it.....

Safe Mode --->http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...utorial61.html

I'll try to check back in a timely manner, but "real life" has intruded upon my online time and I am not sure when I'll be able to post again with any regularity....
