It is amazing the state Microsoft Products leave the hardware in... period. Maybe this is what Ross was having a problem with...

Thankfully, I found a solution for mine. Who knows, maybe it's even the same problem. What made this weird was that this is a linux only notebook! The problem appears when warm booting from linux to linux. If I had windows installed, then I would have thought of warm booting being a cause earlier. But, I'd never had a problem before when booting from linux to linux before. I don't know whether the bios or linux is to blame. Either way, I now know cold reboots are my friend.
