New Virus - Computer Bios Resets Automatically
Julian:
(hmmmm) if you open command prompt with admin privileges type in this command "powercfg -a"
I want to see what supported sleep states you have. Plus if you have a dead battery the bios power management settings may set to default.

Already new battery.
See file attached;
Julian:
in your bios under the power management do you have it set for s1 and s3? I usually only use s3. Try setting it to s3 only in the bios and start your computer up and put it in sleep mode and hit the space bar after it goes to sleep to see if it turns back on. and let me know the results.
Edit:
sorry forgot to put that in for you.
this will show all the devices on your system that support waking it up on S3 sleep state
powercfg /devicequery wake_from_s3_supported
this will show all the devices on your system that support waking it up on S1 sleep state
powercfg /devicequery wake_from_s1_supported

happened twice already.
MSFT didn't catch the event
Only thing new, a new problem...
Where did it come from?
( http://xfactact.com/ )
replaced the battery; sometimes it still won't come out of sleep mode without a hard reset, at least the bios don't reset anymore.
but why MSFT dont alarm me or catch the event?
Ideas?

thank you for your replies;
however, been using this system 4 years or more already, have Plug N play setup in bios. I suspect, its a new virus that is related to resetting system bios so it is easier to hack into systems...
