    My P7805 freezes on restart with Windows 7? When I restart my computer screen goes black, the hot key lights stay on but no reboot or anything, I have to power it down with the power button. Any solutions?

    I changed my power setting to High Performance and it seemed to work. I Think changing your power setting to anything different will work.

    Edit: this did not solve the problem :(

    Thank you TANWare,


    This fixed it;

    From this thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=5405092&postcount=34

    1- Start menu

    2- Right click "Computer" select "manage"

    3- Select "Device manager" from the left hand pane

    4- Expand the "IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controllers" node in the device tree on the right hand pane

    5- Right click the host controller node select "Update driver software ..."

    6- select "Browse my computer for driver software"

    7- select "let me pick from a list of device driver on my computer ..." and you should see:

    1394 OHCI CompliantHostController(Legacy)
    Update to that that’s it

    Aha, I've had this problem too but haven't been bothered enough to actually do something.

    Btw flynnaz you're missing the last step.
