Re: Sony FS315S won't shutdown/stand by/hibernate...just restarts instead

Hello,
just saw your post when sending one of my own. I do not purport to be an
expert but I have had a similar problem - no standby, just restarts. When
going to standby I sometimes get the blue screen of death which tells me
that there is probably a problem with drivers. Having just installed a piece
of kit, the coincidence is too great. I have not tried this yet but just a
thought - if you have recently installed anything, try uninstalling it and
see if this solves the problem. Sorry to sound patronising or know-all, it's
just something that I think will work in my case and thought I'd share the
thought in case it might have relevance
Hope it works

Hi, I have a strange problem on my laptop. Whenever I try shutdown,
Windows shuts down fine, after the shutting down windows screen it goes
black and a normal computer would turn itself off, however on my laptop
the power indicator remains green (and so does the WLAN if I have the
switch to on) and then about a second or 2 later it boots up again.

The BIOS is up to date but pretty basic, can't change any power
settings like on a desktop, I have turned of all the 'wake on' features
I could find, I don't have Roxio 5 installed, it does this regardless
of battery/mains, and the same happens if I standby or hibernate, it
just turns on again. The laptop powers off fine if I just hold the
power button for a few seconds even though it isn't a proper shutdown
windows style.

If anyone has any ideas that would be great

thanks
