Eee PC 1005PE shutdown problem? It appears that in about 50 percent of Windows Shutdowns my brand new 1005PE will not shut off. The screen indicates that it is "Shutting Off" but, after the screen turns off, the ON button and the PowerLED on the lower right stays ON. It already drained my battery. At this point the PC can not be restarted. I have to remove the battery, disconnect the AC cord in order to start it back up.Same occurs in Hibernate shutdowns.

I have a different model (1001P) but am having the same trouble. I also have the Crucial 2GB upgrade in mine. I might test the old 1GB chip to see what it does, I haven't tried much yet...

I'm having the same problem with my 1001P as well. I do have the Crucial 2GB RAM also and wonder whether that's causing all the trouble I've been seeing, including screen scrambling from battery to AC when in "auto power" mode.

I have a Eee PC 1005PE WITH A 2GB Crucial upgrade. It has the same problem that everyone else is having. I did find kind of a solution, although not totally satisfactory, but it will work if you want to keep the 2GB ram. All you need to do is set the Super Hybrid Engine on the High Performance Mode and it will work properly every time. This is why it works with the power cable connected.

Jose, someone in one of these forums suggested a 2 gig memory card from a different manufacturer, other that Crucial. I forgot which one it was but, apparently that one was working fine in the Asus. I am now quite happy with the performance of the factory 1 gig so, I do not plan to upgrade.

Yes, it was the 2 Gig memory update. The PC works perfectly since I put back the factory 1Gig memory. It is quick enough even for real multi-tasking where I just don't need to even try an other 2 gig memory product. It is a really sweet netbook PC.

UPDATE: I put the original 1GB memory back in and haven't had any trouble at all since then. I'm sure that it's the Crucial memory that's causing it.

Did you put 2gb of memory in it?I ordered 2gb of crucial memory aimed for the 1005PE and have had this problem ever since.I thought that updating the BIOS fixed the problem - because after the BIOS update the problem seemed to end.But I later concluded that the restart and shut down problems only happen on battery power. When plugged in no problem.Try shutting down your 1005PE on battery power. Then try it pluggen in. Let me know if you have the same problem as I have.

Mine re-starts with the same adjusted shut-down settings. If I tweaked a setting while in a earlier saved program, the tweak also returns after power-cycling. There's a clear to "pre-set's" function that returns mine to the earlier saved fixed program settings. I went with another unit and can't recall the menu/page. Their customer service was helpful.

Do you have the ASUS Eee 1015PED?I have used it for hours on end and it still doen't get hot enough to cause any issues.

I have had no problems whatsoever. I have had it for over a year now (I think). The battery does get warm so I try to put it in a well ventilated place to let the air cool it as much as possible. This happens whether my computer is on for 1 hour or 10 hours - I do not leave my computer in sleep mode.

If you are using the USB3 port, I am not surprised. If you are using Windows, the power saving suspend mode needs to be disabled. This may be what is causing the shut down.

It shouldn't power off completely. At most it should power down to the low fan setting.

Have not had this issue, but would think you maybe right on the money. Your computer may be dropping "vampires" (Items hooked up to your USB that are using power (although very minimal in this case)). As i generally do a daily shut down I have not had this issue.

Agree with the other responses. Just press the power button again. This should turn it off. If not try holding it for a second. This has always worked for me.

As it uses an external power supply (not just power from the USB port), the power would remain on. I plug mine into a multiple power outlet device which I turn off after shutting down the computer and so the power will not be on all the time.

i just plugged it in and opened the program and it shut down my computer. then when i opened my computer again in would not open. i also tried it on another computer an it did the same thing!

Sorry, I haven't had that problem and can't give specific advice. What happens when you turn it off and then on again? Doing that often clears a problem with a variety of electronic devices.

Hey, I don't have the same problem after connecting to a computer. But when I'm in review mode and delete a photo/video and turn off the camera directly without going back to camera mode, I've noticed that the screen stays on, but black and none of the buttons, not even power, will work. You just have to simply remove the front cover, take out the battery and put it back in. I've had to do this 3 times thus far and it's not a consistently occurring problem, but the solution works every time.

Yes, I'm noticing that it happens after it comes back from hibernation for me. Screen opens bright for a second, then goes dim. I suspect something with the power-saving options compromising the screen performance. Still haven't figured it out :(

Hello Michael. I have never experienced a low battery shutdown myself but with the research I did on the topic, reveals a NO answer. I believe the low battery alarm sounds and continues to sound until the unit is reset or restarted.

I've also had mine not work several times. Try this: go into device manager-Biometric Devices and right click Authen Tec Inc. AES2550 and select properties. Select the power management Tab and make sure "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" is not checked. If it is checked you should un-check it and then save it. This seemed to work for me. The way I found this out is because I have a plugable (brand name) USB hub on my desktop and I noticed that the port that this was plugged into had no blue led on which indicates an active port. The only way I got it to turn on and stay on was by doing the above fix. Hope this helps. I've also had mine not work several times.

Your basic questions have been ably answered by others, but I have to agree that I would not recommend this product. For me, it starts out great but drops out after just a little while. The only way I've been able to recover it is to power cycle. Unfortunately, there is insufficient documentation supplied with the unit to know whether I did something wrong during setup or if it's just bad.

Yes mine too does the same too, but when you switch off the power supply it totally goes off.
