Dear CH,
The computer details are indicated in the picture:
(http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t70/shortguy014/system.jpg)
The Problem is when I try to reboot my computer out of sleep mode. There are 5 little icons on the bottom of a Satellite computer, one meaning plugged in, one meaning on, one meaning using battery, one that flashes, the CPU and SD Card light. But when I turn my computer back on from sleep mode, the screen comes up as soon as I log in then I see my desktop or whatever programs I was running but cannot navigate, it seems as If it is frozen. I look down to see that the CPU light isn't lit up, not even flashing.
NOTE: This doesn't happen every time, only occasionally. That's why I can write this but I don't see why it does it.
But If I hold down the power button and then reboot my computer (completely) it works. If you need any more details please tell me, but I don't know what this means. It is a brand new laptop so I don't know why it would behave in such a way?
Look forward to the info.

Can't see the picture, but it sounds like it is not coming out of suspend/hibernate properly.
Perhaps you could type the make & model & what OS you are using?
Maybe you should return it as faulty.

When I reboot out of sleep mode I use the Power Button. The Power button does not shut down the computer only into sleep mode. I didn't do a Disk Cleanup prior to this, meaning I didn't accidentally delete hibernation files.
It isn't faulty because I have two of these computers and it happens on the other one too. I have Vista Home Premium and a Toshiba A200/H01

Known problem with these models. Even worse with Linux! Try suspend instead of hibernate?

K, thanks will do. But How do I suspend?

Some times this is refured to as stand by.
