RE: Computer half turning off
this is a very common problem
what is happening is when the computer attempts to load data onto the soundcard it forces itself into a lowlevel mode to prevent hardware damage
it sounds like there is a problem either with the sound drivers or the sound card is dieing
i usd to get this with my SB-Live 5.1 when i was using Via hyperions 4.34 and lower on my Aopen AK73 pro a on a Via KT133a chipset
this is caused by a bug in the south bridge
the not coming out of standby i can possibly help you with
have you got use DPMS turned on in the bios
this is a monitor state mode and when some video cards switch to low power they cannot escape it
alot of suspend/standby mode problems are as a result of incorrect ACPI settings in the bios
firstly i would try updating your chipset and soundcard drivers to try to fix the system crash problem
