Hello senoghteh and tberman333
I am sorry, but to get your issues more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .
On a positive note I also found this thread on that very forum that may be of interest to the both of you as it addresses the exact issue you are asking about and has a solution. http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-HP-ProBook-EliteBook/Windows-HP-Probook-4545s-hangs-whenever-it-wants/m-p/6259557/highlight/true#M175222
Good luck I hope this helps. Have a great day!
