I might just hard reset and start with that to see if thats the issue....

Nope...I consider it the best version yet!

You didn't put it on your storage card, did you? That'd cause some major issues.

Nope I didn't....I don't have anything important on my storage card....I read up enough when I first got it to know not to do that. Now trying to figure out why it's doing that crap is a different story....it has been a bit sluggish at times as well, which until the screen thing was happening had never happened either.....looks like a reset might be in my future

you should manually turn your device into sleep mode by tapping the above power button. i use to get the DSOF all the time until i start doing this

I do manually shut off my device....that's how I noticed this starting. If I shut it off pressing the top power button a few times, it won't turn back on...hence the BSOD. It has just started doing this recently, but it has become quite annoying having to soft reset the device each time it does that.

Well, you have a couple of options:

1) List here all your recent programs and configurations for us to see or uninstall anything you've installed lately

2) Make sure you read and follow to the T post #4 in this thread

3) Hard Reset

I always recommend to people to have at least 2 or 3 backups on their storage card in case this happens--that way you can just hard-reset and go back to your last known "good" setup.

Mal, you have a copy of a free back-up prog

I'm not aware of any "free" options...

Thats where I screwed up....I don't have a recent backup....I am kicking myself for that one considering I have the back-up software...have older backups from when I first bought my device but nothing from the set up I have now that I like.....the only recent program I had upgraded was phoneAlarm from 1.52 to 1.53

Main Memory programs:
Wisbar Advanced 2
MemMaid
PHM RegEdit
phoneAlarm Lite 1.53
Voice Command
PHM Tray Launch
Treo 700W Speed Dialer

Memory Card:
MobiTV
Opera
SiriuCE

I've had this happen after I completely drained the battery. Even after I charged it, it would refuse to turn on if it was not connected to the charger. I got it to work again with a soft reset and then pressing the power button. This has only happened once.

I have noticed several times where it's a very latent to turn back on. This was usually after I had been using it for very long periods of time. I have a feeling it might have to do with overheating as the phone is usually very hot at that point.

Well, I certainly don't see anything that would cause the problems there...

Very strange: I'd try (if not already) uninstalling WA2: that's my guess.
