Well I still don't have a solution to my problem, but i have eliminated non-factors
and narrowed it down. I suspect a thunderstorm that occured while i was away. Long
story short, i believe my motherboard might be causing the problem since the only
thing not surge protected was the cat5e cable running straight from the network jack
in the wall into the i/o panel on my mobo. Anyways, I'm having it looked at tomorrow.
I doubt anymore advice could help, but if anyone feels they have some useful information,
it couldn't hurt to post. Thanks again, Eric...
PS - my system was working fine before my problem occured, so it couldn't be a BIOS
that doesn't support ACPI causing my problem, but thanks...that probably is infact
the case with many others.
