BY THE WAY, WHEN MY COMPUTER SHUT OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN, I NOTICE THAT MY BIOS
IS CLEARED I CHANGED THE BATTERY TOO BUT THAT DID NOT HELP TO PREVENT
SHUTDOWN PROBLEM SO FAR BUT COMPUTER NEVER SHUT OFF AFTER I PLUGGED IN TO THE
WALL PLUG POINT DIRECTLY. HOWEVER, HOW STRANGE IS THAT TO CLEAR THE BIOS IN A
COMPUTER AFTER SHUT OFF? THEN WHEN RECONFIGURE THE BIOS AND I THINK COMPUTER
DID SHUT OFF ITSELF ONE TIME AFTER THAT AND IT DID NOT CLEARED THE BIOS THAT
TIME! WHEN THE COMPUTER SHUT OFF, I CAN STILL THE KEYBOARD NUM LOCK LIGHT WAS
ON!

JUST TO GIVE MORE EXTRA INFORMATION THAT MIGHT HELP!
MYSTERIOUS PROBLEM HAPPENING TO MY FRIEND IS NOT SOLVED. MINE IS SAME THING
BUT MUCH BETTER AND I AM STILL SEARCHING FOR ANSWER HOW STRANGE THAT A
COMPUTER CLEARED IT'S BIOS ITSELF AFTER SHUT OFF ITSELF.
