Administrators AWS Posted January 23, 2013 Administrators Posted January 23, 2013 The first thing I noticed was that my PC kept turning itself off if I went away from the computer - if I pressed the power-on button it came on again - so no problem. Then after a couple of weeks it suddenly turned itself off whilst I was using it and I couldn't turn it back on again. I thought it was the Bios so I removed the little battery and returned it after about 20mins - still no joy. Then I pressed the F2 key whilst turning on the PC and then the screen told me that it was starting the default Bios which was great - just changed the system date and everything seemed to be fine. But then after a while the PC turned itself off again and a message appeared that it could not return from hibernation.... I have gone to the power settings and changed what I thought was causing the problems to 'never'. My PC is almost two years old and has never behaved like this before. I have only installed the updates. Should I do a restore or have I done the right thing by changing the settings? I do not know exactly what the settings should be for a desktop computer or what they were before the updates. I tried returning it to the default settings but that removes all the 'never' flags and says yes to hibernation etc. I do not leave the PC turned on all the time - just turn it on and off as and when I need to. I would be grateful if someone could tell me what the correct settings should be? View this thread
