Sleep & Shut Down Issues

[Steve]

When my system attempts to go into sleep mode, or I attempt to shut it down,
the system hangs and a loud fan turns on and the system becomes unavailable.
The only way to resolve this is to unplug the desktop and plug it back in and
reboot the system. This happens everytime I try to shut down or put the
system to sleep. Any thoughts?

hughtee,

Thanks for the reply. I have traced the problem to a corrupted BIOS on my
motherboard of all things. I flashed the BIOS and the problem has been
resolved.

Thanks again,

Steve
