I had this once with SP4 on a re install, using a machine that has had no
problems before and I believe it may have been caused
by a bad file copy during SP4 install, I had to reinstall again and it
worked ok the second time.

Have reinstalled this and other machines several times, and used different
copies of SP4.
I believe that the problem may lie with ACPI support. I found some articles
that suggest using the F4 BIOS version and not the current F9.

The problem is where to find a 5 year old BIOS version!

It seems that I am not the only person to have run into this problem. I have
not found a clear solution yet.
