Best fix(s) seem here: http://forums.viaarena.com/messagevi...VIEWTMP=Linear

I worked on some of these for COMPAQ Repair agent and here in NZ we were installing a type of Plastic Spacer around the CPU - was not sure if it fixed it for good, but the above link seems to offer really good options that seem to work - most without having to open the laptop.

Cheers!

Hello again to all! I just wanted to come back and let you know what the problem was with this PC. It was not the motherboard as most people I talked with told me because I replaced it unfortunately, but it was in fact the graphics card instead! Now though, I have come across another problem When I turn on the PC it will finally boot just fine and not in this power save mode, but now it seems to be stuck on the logo screen. When powered up the screen just shows: HP Invent and stays there, nothing else and I cannot even do anything because the keyboard won't even seem to work. Any ideas on this one? Thanks!! :cheesy:

I read this long tale of woe with interest as I have today caused the same problem on my fairly new custom built machine. I say caused (which means that it is not a hardware problem) because I tweaked the following setting (don't ask why!) in the BIOS: Advanced, Ex Sata.....changed from ex Sata to PCI-E which, when I checked the motherboard manual said couldn't be done!! I was trying to solve another problem and changed this setting on the basis that I could change it back. But like our friend my computer (not this one) boots straight into power save and I am at a complete loss for a solution.
My point is that (unless the setting caused it) there is not a hardware problem, I just need to get into the BIOS to reverese the setting.

Any ideas would be most appreciated
