EVO Won't wake up....?`

[shatner]

In the last few days I have noticed my EVO unable to wake from sleep. I can press the top button but only the bottom soft keys light up and the screen remains dark and unresponsive to touch. I have to pull the battery ala TP2 to get it to reboot. The reboot also takes quite a while. I have uninstalled everything I have installed since I rooted this at the first of the year. However this is really just a two or three day old problem. I used the phone extensively in the first three days after a painless successful root with no issues.

I searched but couldnt find anyone else in my shoes so far, any insight?

Thanks!
