It sounds like it may be too hot. Does the case feel hot to the touch? Are you placing it on a hard surface with plenty of clearance for ventilation? try setting up an external fan as a test.
Make a great day!

Roger, it happends only after a cold boot (when I finish my job and go bak home) and in the mornings at office) and actually I place my laptop in may desktop (home and office) so it has plenty of ventilation.
To answer to Gary, yes, you assume right in both cases, I meaned the bios password beffore it bootsand Im using Windows XP. Ill try the bios update I will let you know budies.
What is weird is that it I "shake it" a little it wakes up.... weird ah?

Try the following (with the laptop turned off) before you attempt to update the BIOS:
Reseat and clean the contacts on your
Battery, memory and Harddisk.
The contacts can be cleaned with a pencil eraser if you don't have cleaning fluid.

I cleaned up contacs on memory modules,, wireless modules, bathery and hardisk.
It seems to me that its the hard disk what is causing the problem, thoug I run a bios harddisk check and everything is fine with it.
