advanced power management support causing problems

[malguru]

in system properties the ! sign is next to the aforementioned on booting up it causes the system not to boot up first time . sometimes the system will only go to safe mode and it takes a good 7 or 8 attempts to
run properly
what is the power management for and how can i fix it without haveing to reinstall?

You should be able to enable/disable apm in your bios.
Also try booting into safe mode (f8) and check the control panel settings for power management.

There is also a small chance that you have a faulty power supply with the power-save features/circuits not working as they should.

But given that control panel indicates a software conflict - it's probably not a power supply hardware issue.

Does the error flag give you any details you can post here??

SORRY AXEL IT DOES NOT
IT JUST INFORMS ME THAT IT IS NOT PRESENT OR NOT WORKING PROPERLY
THERE ARE SETTINGS TO FORCE APM 1.0 MODE OR
DISABLE POWER STATUS POLLING
ANY IDEAS???
