Toshiba Satelite L455 reboots on shutdown signal
Hello friends:
I know it has been a while since I posted but we have been very busy moving our shop.
I have a Toshiba L455-S5009 with Phoenix bios v1.30, 8Gb Memory and a 500gb Hdd. With Windows 7 home premium.
My issue is that when the machine is given the shutdown signal from the menu or the button press it powers down the boots back up. The system logs show it getting a sleep signal. This is a 3rd clean install of Windows 7 however this happens in 8.1 and 10 as well. The bios was upgraded from 1.0 to the 1.30 because of this issue before I received the laptop for repair. I have looked in the bios and can find nothing to cause this. wake on lan ect. are disabled. I have disabled reboot on error in the advanced system menu to see if it was a blue screen. I have gone to Toshiba for answers but they tell me what I am describing is impossible and yet here we are. I even sent them a video but they don't want to deal with an old yet mostly functioning laptop. This unit came with Win7 installed and it was upgraded to 8 by the customer and was fine until he tried to upgrade to 10 at which point the machine reverted half way through the process and became unstable. after completely wiping the hard drive with dban the issue persists. There is one caveat however. Linux mint 15 works flawlessly and shuts down without issue. I am stumped. anyone have an idea?
