Hello Pat, it's possible the reason you are experiencing a speech loss is because some other program you have running is doing something, or waiting on something and during this wait period, Window-Eyes is prevented from speaking. Sometimes programs wait for some sort of response from who knows where, and until this happens, other things don't work right. Of course it's very noticeable with Window-Eyes because of speech not responding. if this happened to let's say Winamp or Media Player, perhaps the music would stop, or would stutter. if it happened to the browser, perhaps no new web pages would load and it would appear to be frozen. This also explains why when pressing the power button, you get speech back for a bit as the machine is shutting down, because the program which was hauling the system may have been shut down. So until we can find out what other program you may have running and which may be contributing to this problem, we won't know what to suggest. It's annoying for sure and frustrating, but this is also the reason why not everyone is having the same issue as you.
