    Hi,

    The exact error message might help.

    Next message will be my generic driver update methods.

    Check your BIOS/CMOS for Wake on Lan, Wake on Modem and so on.

    Hi,

    You should check the above and maybe recheck after update you major drivers.

    Could be a driver related issue. Update your drivers manually by looking at System maker and
    Device maker's sites.

    This is my generic how to for proper driver updates :

    This utility makes it easy to see which versions are loaded :

    DriverView - Free - utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,
    version, product name, company that created the driver, and more.
    http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html

    For Drivers check System Maker as fallbacks and Device Maker's which are the most current.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write down the make and complete model of your
    video adapter - double click - Driver's tab - write down the version info. Now click UPdate Driver (this
    may not do anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers) - then Right Click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    this will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat that for Network - Network Card (NIC), Wifi, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own software and drivers and any other major device drivers you have.

    Now go to System Maker's site (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (as rollback) and then Device Maker's site
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI as examples) and get their latest versions. (Look for BIOS, Chipset and software
    updates at System Maker's site while there.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - Right Click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in Device Manager - Drivers tab to be sure the version you are installing actually shows up. This
    is because some drivers rollback before the latest is installed (sound drivers particularly do this) so install a
    driver - reboot - check to be sure it is installed and repeat as needed.

    Repeat at Device Makers - BTW at Device Makers DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - check manually by model.

    Manually look at manufacturer's sites for drivers - and Device Maker's sites.

    How to Install a Device Driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html

    If you update drivers manually then it is a good idea to disable Driver Installations in Windows Updates,
    this leaves Windows Updates ON however it will not install drivers which will usually be older and cause
    issues. If Updates suggests a new driver then HIDE it (Right Click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.
