Not my notebook
HP Pavilion 1.4GHz 512Mb RAM
- I know that it MAY be simply hardware issues but hoping not
- Nothing in BIOS. Can't even check ACPI/APM settings
- ACPI Uniprocessor identified, checked from Device Manager. So ACPI is on by default?
- WinXP Home Edition, Can't get to APM settings even from Windows. PowerManagement settings don't do anything about it
- It's no Windows STOP error on shutdown, disabled reboot on STOP error.
- If using "shutdown -s" from command line it DOES shutdown without rebooting but if using Windows Shutdown button from start menu it reboots.
Haven't tried to update BIOS though.
The notebook owner is quite a novice so this is an issue :p Can't just throw .bat on the desktop and tell her to live with it.
Anyone got experience about this? Googled what i could but found only issues related to STOP error. Still assuming that it's APM related but CAN'T GET INTO THE GOD DAMN SETTINGS FROM ANYWHERE
Shouldn't be virus either, the lap only has Word installed on it after getting it from manufacturer, had Antivirus prog + firewall and hasn't been connected to internet. Came pre-installed of course
edit: It managed to shutdown once / 10 times after windows reinstall (full format) correctly. The owner said that she managed to make it shutdown once by having the powercord plugged to wall (So not running on battery) but just once. So using it doesn't matter if it runs on battery or not.
