The only (maybe) significant clue I have is that if the "A" drive light blinks on and off then I know that it going to boot up,  When that light doesn't blink then I know that I'll just have to turn it off and wait for the machine to "wake up" again - as I said this can be days literally.

Not sure if you mean "hibernating" as defined by Microsoft and others or if you just mean it won't turn on.  If the latter, you may be having power supply problems.  See my separate posting on "power supply connection."  Your symptoms sound like mine.
