Hi Everyone
I have been using the Smart6 software, which includes Quickboot.
You just check the box,OS QuickBoot, then click Save the settings.
Simple.
It's ideal to just press the Sleep button on the keyboard and the computer powers down in to standby mode, I presume,
and when I press the left MB the computer starts up and reaches the login stage in about 10 seconds which is great so I dont leave the
computer running all day if I dont get back to it, so I would really like this to work properly.
I am not worried about resuming programs left open, and I always shut down most applications.
It has worked fine for 2 or 3 days at a stretch but then sometimes you press the sleep button and walk away
and 30 seconds or 2 mins or 5 mins later it starts up without pressing any buttons or being anywhere near it.
When I uncheck the settings then recheck them it works once or twice but always ends up re-starting by itself !
Then if the mains supply is switched off the computer can hang and requires a reset.
Has anyone any ideas to fix this please
Can this sleep mode or standby mode be done using the bios settings?

Hi and welcome.
I really don't like these bundled programs and this is typical of the sort of issues that they often display. I would suggest removing them completely from the system and then make sure that your BIOS is running the latest version of the file that is available. Also make sure all your chipset and other drivers are also up to date.
Once done if your machine is 100% stable you should be able to set up the same sort of usage from the BIOS. If your machine isn't totally stable for any reason forget trying to get any of the sleep option to work properly until resolved.
