I had the same problem, and isolated it to my BIOS settings. By selecting "load fail safe settings" the problem went away. However once you select "fail safe" you will need to change several other BIOS settings back to their "normal" state. (For example in my computer the onboard USB gets disabled in fail safe mode.
I believe, but can't verify that the problem has to do with the ACPI settings. However, I am not sure since when I reset the computer's CMOS, using the jumper pin on my motherboard, it didn't fix the problem.
If anyone know what the exact BIOS setting that could be causing this I would be intersted.
BTW, another possiblity, and maybe a better way to go, would be to select "load optimal settings" from you BIOS ETUP menu, copy down settings (especially those that you don't understand), then see if the problem occurs. (It most likely will). Then go back to SETUP, select "load fail safe", and set the settings for all menus, other than power management to the value that they had in optimal.
Hope this helps
