I had that problem until I recently did a clean install but I wouldn't do
that just over this problem. I think something in a recent windows update
went wrong.

or maybe it doesn't even go there... it seems like it does a power off
when
I press standby... sometimes, when its on standby, and I press power
button
to return to windows, I get the desktop screen without any icons and
everything freezes.. I have to reset the computer.

can someone tell me whats happening please? thanks.
