But does that actually keep RAM powered up during a power cycle? I thought that was only for ROM and other non user memory, not a battery backup for software. As to hibernating, I'm certainly not choosing that, although somehow the PC may be going into this state on it's own. I'm getting the BSOD and then holding down the power key until the PC shuts down. Maybe somehow it's going into hibernate mode, but still I would think that if you pull the battery out of a PC it wouldn't store previous state. And I"ve never had it do that before. Everytime in the past when I pull the battery it boots up from scratch. I'm thinking there's some type of serious BIOS issue where the PC is storing user-based software memory in some place that it's not supposed to which would also explain the BSOD with the "non-paged" memory faults. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:237628 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
