Rebooting Computer Problems
Having a hard time rebooting my computer. First I have to turn off the computer (but AC power is still on), other times turned off AC Power. Both times my computer goes into DOS Mode. Sometimes I am able to reboot other times almost impossible. Sometimes clicking on F1, F3 or F5 (or Control Alt Delete which closes the window) it reboots. Other times not so. The keyboard does not work sometimes to scroll to the appropriate on screen suggestions. Have gone to F2 set up Utility and reentered date and time and also for the Recovery Memory Device to first go to USB port.
Further, the Recovery Memory Device does not work (installed in the USB port). I have gone to F5 Diagnostic, no problems detected… then clicked on YES reboot… and it works. So now I leave my computer on all the time…. To use it.. and do not turn it off. Have had this problem for two weeks.
Any suggestions… also should I try and use my Weekly Back Up of my system and install the back up for three weeks ago? What should I click on when a date with folder opens and what area to click on?
Also, should I go to System Utility (from Control Panel) and change parameters to click on?
Any help will be most appreciated.
