This morning when I wanted to start my AW15R2 laptop it didnt start directly. Had to try it multiple times. Which was odd. But after 3 tries it did start but not where I left off after I put the laptop in hibernation last day.
But when I wanted to shutdown. The laptop goes trough the whole process of shutting down but starts up again after all the lights just turned off.
A hard shutdown with the power button does work. I reset my bios but that did not help. Turned off fast boot, also did not help.
Anyone a clue how to fix this?

it also happens when I try to put the laptop to sleep......
No clue what is causing this. -
Buggy BIOS/DSDT in the SMBus section

Windows 10?
1- Go to Search, type power options and click on Power Options from search results
2- On the left side of the window click on Choose what the power button does
3- If needed, click on Change settings that are currently unavailable, under Define power buttons and turn on password protection
4- From the enabled options under Shutdown settings section, uncheck Turn on fast startup (recommended) checkbox to disable Hybrid Shutdown.
5- Click Save changes button to save the modified settings. Close Power Options window when done.Last edited: Apr 13, 2016rinneh likes this. -

Booting the first time yesterday was already troublesome. I think something got messed up. -
Other than that, I got nothing....Sorry
I'm just gonna stick with 1.2.2 as it seems anything after that is just botched and riddled with issues...... I really wish there were custom BIOS' -
Yeah stick with 1.2.2
think that disabling deep six sleep or something like that botched the system.
Or jsut a freak accident with the EC. The laptop itself works fine. Just it wont shutdown from software. GOing to call them today what to do about it. -
Well they are going to swap my motherboard tomorrow.
Hopefulyl a good technician will do the job. or else I can do it better myself. -
