ASUS S550 wont reboot after Win7 shutdown
Hi. I have a strange one here. I downgraded from Win8 to Win7 on my ASUS S550CM laptop. All drivers look OK in Device Manager but 99% of the time the laptop will not boot - nor can I get into the BIOS screen.
*Sometimes* it will let me get past the ASUS logo screen and when it does, I can load up Win7 just fine.
If I select Restart (as opposed to Shutdown), the machine reboots just fine. BUT.. if I choose Shutdown and try to cold reboot - it won't - not until it lets me out of luck.
I've emailed ASUS (waiting response) as this machine is only 5 weeks old - one week out of its box. I just wanted to put Win 7 on the machine and didn't expect to get trouble from the BIOS.
Does anybody know what could be the problem? I'm assuming that Win7 is telling it to shutdown in a certain way which is causing this BIOS related problem.
Cheers
Paul
