for the past month my comp has been like blacking out while im away. i leave it on 24/7 for folding so i often find the screen black when i come home from school or wake up in the morning, and i have to restart it. when i press reset it hangs trying to detect ide devices when posting (but not complete freeze, because it will react to me pressing del to get into bios) and i have to turn off the comp for a few seconds and then turn it back on then all is well. any ideas why this is happening? its never happened while im using the computer, only when im away for a long time
