RE: Power Down auto restarts right away

[Guest Gordon Bentley-Mix]

Same problem here: I press the power button on my laptop (which I've

configured to 'Hibernate' the machine), it goes to sleep and then wakes again

straightaway and displays the password prompt (because it's set up to prompt

for password on waking). I enter my password and try shutting down through

the Start menu instead. This time it reboots instead, so at the login screen

I click on the red 'Shutdown' button in the lower right corner and _finally_

I manage to kill the bloody thing!

 

I'm hoping that the cause isn't the same as Magnus's because my computer

(Dell Inspiron 1525) is only a couple of months old. I suspect the problem is

more closely related to Suee's in that it seems to only happen at home where

I have a wireless network. However, I don't have the same solution available

to me as my wireless card is built-in... :-(

 

I note that this thread started on 4 July. Does anybody have any more

progress to report?
