Hello!
I have a DELL XPS 17 Laptop. Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Recently my laptop has been restarting itself when I shut it down. It would shut down normally but after 1 second, it turns on by itself. I've checked "events" and I have "Event 41 : Kernal Power" . How do I fix this? PLEASE and thank you for your help!.
Welcome to Seven Forums.
Try the following:
Power Button - Start Menu
Don't forget to change power button action to Shutdown.
Hi,
Please follow a few more steps that should fix this issue:
Disable the “Automatic Restart Option” in Startup and Recovery .To prevent the system from automatically restarting when a STOP error occurs:
· Right-click on “My Computer”, click “Properties”.
· Click the “Advanced” tab; click the “Settings” button in the “Startup and Recovery” section.
· In “Startup and Recovery”, clear the “Automatically restart” box in the “System failure” section.
Go to Device Manager. Look for network adapter/s, right click and select "Properties". In the "Power Management" tab(s), uncheck "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby".
