- It happens while using battery.
- I bought the laptop in August 2012
- My Wake On Lan is disabled in the Device Manager and no Device is allowed to wake the computer
- The link you've sent is a different BIOS than mine. I am using BIOS 205 from this link: https://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultra...rt_Download_36

Okay on the first three, we'll have to look elsewhere.

I just took a stab at your machine. your specs don't offer much,

• Laptop
• Asus

https://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultra...specifications

- Intel® Core™ i7 2670QM Processor
- Windows 7 Ultimate
- 4GB RAM
- 500GB HD
- NVIDIA® GeForce® 610M with 2GB DDR3 VRAM
- Intel HD Graphics 3000

Try checking these out: Windows 7 does not go to sleep

Thanks but the problem is, that my laptop is not sleeping. It's turned off. Not sleeping or in hibernate. Off.
And also i have already tried everything that your link suggest to to. Still not solved. Thanks though.

Did you run this command & it came up with nothing?:

1. To see the list of all devices that can wake the computer, run the following command:
   Powercfg -devicequery wake_armed

This also applies to your laptop turning ON from "OFF".

You recently reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Where did you get the installation media and how did you re-install?
i.e. Did the laptop come with Ultimate pre-installed, and you did a factory recovery?

I got a DVD with Windows 7 All In One from a friend.

In September 2012 one of my friends pushed my laptop one the ground so i had to buy a new harddisk. Since then the laptop has worked perfect. Until i reinstalled windows the other day.

EDIT: I did af formation of the harddisk. So i deleted everything on the harddisk.

What version of Windows was pre-installed when you bought it?
Do you have the factory Recovery discs?

Windows 7 Home Premium i think i was. But i have had Ultimate since September 2012. No i don't have any factory discs. Didn't come with the laptop.

I think you should do a clean install for the licensed version on your COA following this tutorial.
Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

How will this fix my problem?
The DVD i've used worked the last time i reinstalled? :)

I don't know that it will fix your problem.
But when you have installed Windows from a DVD a friend gave you, who knows what will happen?
Did your friend give you a complete/genuine Win OS including the license key?
Did he uninstall it from his machine?
Using the tutorial you will get an install with a known valid/genuine Windows...
