So I experienced a lot of BSODs and random reboots and before I could make the restore CDs, my laptop was essentially broken. It rebooted, attempted to set itself to factory settings and promptly froze. Now when I reboot I get a dos prompt saying "Your computer can't come out of hibernation" and "Status 0xc0000225".
F8 and F9 don't do anything however I can use Esc to get into the Bios stuff that I refuse to tamper with. Hopefully I can exchange the unit for another one where I got it or hear back from Asus in the meantime about getting it fixed. It's brand new and only had Steam installed on it, silly me for assuming that it would run fine out of the box(it did, I didn't check these forums until after the problem, only to learn of all the tips....)
Any ideas in the meantime to attempt a fix?
