    Hi Everyone, First time posting so forgive me if I don't give all the necessary info. ----------------Problem:----------------Basically, the nutshell of the problem is the computer goes to "sleep" when it is not plugged into power, it's not immediate but usually happens within 1-5 minutes. After this has occurred the computer won't turn back on unless it's connected to power. The interesting thing, and the reason I'm 99% sure it's a windows issue and not a hardware issue, if I go into device manager and uninstall the ACPI battery driver while still plugged in then unplug the power, it'll run

    :)
