Thanks, I updated BIOS and Chipset. Wasn't able to reproduce the problem after that. I'm waiting a couple of days to make sure it doesn't happen again and then will report results.

I watched the logs and it looks like it happened again, once. However not conclusive whether that error was related to the same problem, and it only happened once whereas it was happening continuously. I'm letting 2 or 3 more days go by and I'll check even logs again then.

Inspected logs again and it hasn't happened again, so updating BIOS and/or Chipset must have done it. Thanks.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Dell Studio 1558, Win 7 Pro X64. Start &gt;&nbsp;Sleep. Press power button to come out of sleep. 3 out of the last 5 times the laptop comes back with a message that Windows was not shut down properly etc. I looked in the System events log and found that every time I put the computer to sleep an error message is logged when I have the computer come back from it (even in the cases where there is no message on the screen stating that Windows was not shut down properly). The error message in the System log is the usual &quot;The last shutdown at (time/date) was unexpected&quot;.<br />
<br />
Any ideas/suggestions?

&quot;Unexpected shutdown&quot; error in system log after coming back from sleep

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.

Microsoft Legacy OS

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
