One of my z840 is displaying weird behavior. I'll leave it working on something overnight and the next morning it appears have shut itself down instead of hibernating. When I turn it back on it goes through the normal boot process. When it posts I have to go into the boot menu to boot to Windows. It defaults to booting to Linux. The weird behavior is that despite looking like a cold boot, it says 'resuming windows" and when I get to desktop everything is where it was before with the same programs running and the same windows open. I can't figure out if it is a Windows issue or maybe there is some BIOS setting I don't know about?
