| 510293 | 2006-12-28 02:47:00 | When I shut down or want restart my screen comes up with "entering power saving mode" and the Num lock light comes on.It does not shut down or restart unless I press the reset button.It does not do it every time but more often than not and it makes no difference what Os I am shutting down. | kjaada (253) | ||
| 510294 | 2006-12-28 03:16:00 | That is likely to be a setting in the BIOS which is causing this, since it's OS-independent. Look for something like "Power Management". | Graham L (2) | ||
| 510295 | 2006-12-28 03:25:00 | Or possibly it's the monitor telling you that it is not receiving a valid input signal, and so is resting until such time as one arrives or the power goes off. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 510296 | 2006-12-28 03:32:00 | I have checked and played with the BIOS but nothing makes any difference. Not sure on the signal thing. |

| 510297 | 2006-12-28 03:36:00 | Try disconnecting the monitor lead from your video card while in normal operation, wait a few moments and see if you get the same message. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 510298 | 2006-12-28 04:22:00 | No that said video card is not connected to monitor | kjaada (253) | ||
| 510299 | 2006-12-28 04:47:00 | OK, my bad. If it's not a laptop, temporarily remove the monitor lead from whatever it is plugged into at the 'puter end. If it is a laptop, don't. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 510300 | 2006-12-28 05:17:00 | Same result as above | kjaada (253) | ||
| 510301 | 2006-12-28 10:00:00 | Dang, it sounds like your OS is shutting down, but the process hangs somewhere, and leaves you in limbo. Maybe bumping this up will attract someone knowledgeable. Good luck. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 510302 | 2006-12-29 18:17:00 | I could live with the first problem but now when I shut down I have to press the reset button several times to get BIOS to start.The HDD busy light just comes on for a few secs then flickers and nothing happens.I was told to turn off power saving but I would guess that is controlled by the Os and there is no os until it is loaded. |
