Re: XPE is frozen after leaving XPE without any user-input for a l

Not sure what else would be causing this issue. Admittedly, power
management issues are not my forte, so there's probably something in this
that I'm missing. If the BIOS is already configured to disable
power-management, then it most likely is a software component that's doing
this for you.

Does the system stop recording consistently after a certain measurable
amount of idle time? (eg. 5 minutes?) Or is it random? If it's random,
this would seem to indicate a software bug or a hardware problem. If it's
consistent and reproduceable, it still sounds like a power-management issue.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what else to suggest. (Anyone else here have any
ideas?)
