have you tried actually noting down the apparent "reason" i.e. whatever the OS indicates as the possible problem and putting it into a google search ?

I'm a linux user, and that "trick" usually gives me some idea of what too look at. If it's happening to you, then the chances are, that it's already happened to someone else and they may well have posted some info about it on the web.

Sorry I can't be of any real specific help.
