    Hi.

    I have the latest Bios installed, 9c.17.00, and when I go to the Bios, I don't have any power management optios. It seems that the Bios has not a lot of options to play with. Is this normal? How can I have access to the Bios options of power management (maybe gateway bios don't allow you to change anything, but that would be stupid no?)

    Thanks.

    Try going in to the device manager and device properties then check for power management there. Its more into Windows on this laptop than the BIOS.
