    Every time I enter the BIOS and do a Save and Exit, my M14X shuts down instead of rebooting. Is this normal? I just got the laptop today

    Thanks! I was worried there for a moment. My other laptops reboot on saving BIOS settings.

    If you read the description in the BIOS itself, it also tell you when u select on it (Save and Exit), something like Save changed setting and restart the computer.
