Inspiron 1525
Hello, I have an Inspiron 1525 and am having a few problems. Recently I had virus issues and ended up doing a system restore, and then some issues arose. Whenever I turn on the computer a message flashes and it beeps at me and says AC power adapter wattage and type can not be determined...blah...blah....continue with F1, F2 to run set up, F3 to not be reminded and F5 to run onboard diagnostics. I tried F2 and went back and set it to factory settings again but it did not solve the issue. I've been reading around and seeing this is a design flaw and have tried a bunch of things but nothing has worked. Does anyone know of something that has worked for them, or anything I could do?
Also, I don't know if this is the same issue, but the computer will not let me shut it down! I press shut down, or hibernate or anything, even if I hold the power button it will automatically restart every time. I have no idea why. I have to unplug the machine to shut it off. Is this the same issue and is there a fix. Thank you so much for any help or guidance, have a great day.
