Haven't seen this situation on the messageboard yet. I have all my power
options tunred "OFF". For some reason, my brand new desktop, running Windows
Vista Home Premium, shows me a message saying it's entering power save, and
then it shuts down - in the middle of whatever I'm doing. I have all the
drivers updated, but haven't done anything with the BIOS. I'm pretty new to
all this stuff. Any suggestions on why power save comes on by itself and how
I can prevent it? Also, if I manually turn the computer to "Sleep", sometimes
it will wake back up when I want it to, and sometimes it won't, forcing me to
turn the on/off button and reboot that way. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the world of Vista Crap !...I have all the problems you
describe. Laptop shuts down without warning. Wakes up by itself. I
set Low Battery notification to 30% Still it does not warn me.
Nothing, just shuts down in the middle of something important. God
knows I want to throw my laptop and Vista out of the window !!!

Just do it and shut the bleep up.

Then buy that Mac and complain about it in a Mac group.
