Check the Bios. There is a setting in there, I forgot what its called though. Its something you need to disable/enable. I think its a ACPI function.

This is a problem windows usually fixes alone i think. It has done it to me before, and never has after the first time or so. If it keeps doing it, try what shawn said.
Post your results.
