I didn't see IBM in the listing, but am hoping someone might identify with this problem. Whenever I run a hard disk utility program, such as defragmentation or PC cleanup, the power will shut down on the unit. It even will shut down when I run the Windows update. It seems so long as I don't write to any significant degree to the hard drive, it remains powered up. I've changed the Power Management to never shutdown - until I get this problem resolved. It would appear to me that my problem is with the hard drive, but I've never experienced this type problem before. Any idea's? Thanks.
