Drivers are definitely a good place to start, but if the laptop is older (since it originally had Win ME installed) there's a good chance that as someone earlier said that it's an ACPI/bios problem. ACPI code is rather notorious for being buggy, especially on older boards. Doubt it would make a difference, but if there are any BIOS updates, you could give that a shot as well.
