    I have noticed this issue has been posted up before, but so far have not seen any fixed. Anyway, sometime my M1530 fails to wake up from hibernation/sleep no matter what I do. I have to do a hard reset every time. Also sometimes my laptop would not shut down. It will get stuck at the Shutting Down... with the circle thing, but it will not shut down. Has anyone have this issue before? This happened less often than the not waking up issue, but it does happen. I have tried reinstalling my OS.

    I am assuming that all of Dell's drivers are the most stable. I have used the 177.41 driver from laptopvideo2go, but the same issue happens. Which drivers would you recommend me using?
