Compaq Laptop Turns off when closed

Guys,

This might be better addressed in a Compaq group, but I had such great luck
here with a previous problem, I thought I'd try it.

After recently reformatting my hard drive on my Compaq 2580 Notebook, and
downloading all the drivers from the website, I now have an issue where when
I close the notebook, it seems to turn off, but not really. In some cases,
if I press thr power button, the welcome screen appeared and I was able to
continue where I'd left off, but other times, it did not come back on and I
had to do a cold boot.

I'd really appreciate any ideas anybody has.

Thank you

Hi,

Go to control panel and then double click on power options. There will be a
profile for the laptop mentioning what is to be done for each action. What
does it say when the lid of the laptop is closed. Mostly it will be sleep or
stand by. You can change that to hibernate.
