My Laptop: Win7 64-bit (clean install) on a Dell XPS1710

When using sleep mode, I'm getting event id 12, source 'HAL' errors. Specifically "The platform firmware has corrupted memory across the previous system power transition. Please check for updated firmware for your system."

This describes what the issue is: http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?e...ce=HAL&phase=1

My question is this: How do I determine what the "platform firmware" is, so I can get new firmware. Is it the BIOS? The Intel chipset? Other?
