All,
I have a very interesting problem.
I bought an Acer Aspire M3920 Desktop without any OS installed.
M3920 has the followig spec:
Acer Aspire M3920 Desktop - Desktops | Ebuyer.com
Next I install Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Edition on the machine. This is an original OEM Edition of Windows 7.
After the install of the basic OS you try to shutdown the desktop and it will not.
It will go as far as showing the shutdown screen with the rotating circle.
The circle freezes and nothing else.
Even after installing all the Acer drivers still the same problem, but with the difference that when you shutdown you will see the shutdown screen and then the screen goes blank but the desktop does not switch off. Only the 5 second hold on the power button switches the machine off.
Now I install Windows 7 32bit Home Premium Edition on the machine. Again only the basic OS without any specific drivers.
Success, the desktop performs a normal shutdown as expected.
BIOS settings are the same between both install's.
I do know that the M3920 uses an EFI BIOS instead of the normal BIOS. I do not know if this might have something to do with it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Raoul.
