Computer Restarts by itself when power management kicks in

[JohnyB]

I have he K7T Turbo motherboard. After updating to the current bios, my computer restarts by itself when power managment kicks in. Anyone else having the same problem? Any ideas how I can fix this?

Dear BIOS&WinDOS-Fight-For-Power-Management Victim-

If power management is enabled in both your puter's BIOS and in WinDOS, that very well may be the cause of some beerburps...

Try disabling all power management in BIOS but leave APM enabled in WinDOS.
Or vice-versa.
Point is, completely ENABLE one of the two power management methods and completely DISABLE the other of the two.

Here's a good allegory:
Sometimes when two HeadHonchoSuits within TheCompanyBuilding each tell one ElectricMaintenanceBluecollarGuy to shut off different lights in the house at different times using two distinctly different means will sometimes makes the BluecollarGuy wanna just say *&%$it and instead go drink lotsa & lotsa beer.
Then the BlueCollarGuy does Illegal Operations & such...
hehehehe

OR...
You can completely disable all power management wherever you find it. This link describes howto:

And then, instead of trusting that some programmer's instructions will get along just hunkydory with your puter's BIOS programmer's instructions, ya just use yer own God-given finger to push buttons so that they're ON or OFF. Works great. And things don't become unstable. Unless, of course, ya spill the coffee on the keyboard on the finger's way to the ON/OFF button....
