I listened, and there was no activity whatsoever. The Caps Lock key wasn't even triggering the indicator on the keyboard, which is a pretty good sign that the system is truly hung, from my past experiences.

Might turning off the "Turn off HD whenever possible" item in the Energy Saver section possibly have any effect on the whole blanking problem? -Adam
