710987 2008-10-09 02:50:00 Have you checked the power settings on the PC? To make sure it's not going into standby and for some reason not coming out.

Could pay to check temps in the BIOS too, or get some software like hmonitor (http://www.hmonitor.net/) to make sure it's not overheating.

It maybe on 20 mins.
