I've got a CP F730US that I just installed a new hard drive into out of my daughter's Toshiba (it had a completely broken screen that she couldn't use.)
Anyway, I loaded up my Compaq recovery disc and all seems to be working as well as it did before my original hard drive went bad. In other words, its Vista and I have tons of little problems that drive me postal . Yes, I hate Vista!
My computer was having power issues before the new HD and now its having them again but slightly different. If my computer goes to sleep (which it is programmed to do after 15 mins) it locks up and I can't turn it back on. All the little lights are on (screen off, of course) but I can't get it to turn back on. I eventually have to hold the power button down and "hard boot" it off and turn it back on .
I have my computer programmed to go into hibernate when I close the lid. This usually works but I must remember to close the lid or it will go to sleep instead and lock up on me. As a bonus of the sleep, it burns a lot more battery power with all of those lights on and who knows what else.
Please help.
