Well i've got a new computer, but i have some problems with it.

It brand new, put some stuff on it but already have 60 processes. That's not really a problem, everything works lightning fast but I still think it's quite much.

Secondly, when putting the computer into sleep, the powerbutton turns yellow, and the computer shuts down. So far so good, but after 2 minutes the computer turns back on without no reason. I've disconnected mouse and keybord and it still does it like that, so that can't be the reason.
It only shuts down since i've set a password too. When my useraccount wasn't password-protected sleep mode only dimmed the screen, which is quite weird imo, I don't get all this.

Third problem: I have used 72.3GB of my C: harddrive already. While my laptop with thousands more on it only uses that much of space. I want my laptop files and configuration on the new pc eventually, but I haven't copied music or anything now already, so it's really much used space for just vista and Adobe CS3...
When I select everything in C: (hidden files and maps included) and click properties, it states 21.9GB, which is acceptable. Then why does it say I've used 72.3 when rightclicking the drive that contains just all that in 'my computer'?
Recovery is on a different partition so that can't be it (HP a6320.be)

Fourth problem: While booting up it sometimes does with the wrong screenresolution. Then I have to go to ATI Catalyst (2400Pro), click detect to get widescreen resolution options, select the good resolution and click apply...
sometimes it's fine. Again something I don't get..

thanks in advance

If its a new PC, and if it doesn't have a lot of stuff on it I would just format and install the OS from scratch.

Sounds like you have Vista.

Vista comes with 58 running processors when freash if i remember correctly (Ultimate at least).

The yellow button is "Hibernate" its not shut down. The resolution thing sounds like a Driver issue, unrelated to Windows. Try updating the driver.

So baiscly just reinstall OS from scratch like MeEtc said .

Okay thanks. Well it's good that it goes into hibernation, but it must not come out automaticly after 2 minutes...

And what about the harddrive thing? Somethings not right there...

No it shouldnt be good that it comes out of hibernation, or the hard drive thing. Run a chkdsk in the mean time (in the vista start bar type in chkdsk). If i was you, just wipe it before you got everything moved over. Alot sounds.... wrong.

Well, the screen thing is resolved, installed a new driver

Chatting with a HP guy, he says the 50GB are shadow-copies of the windows restore thing, they aren't shown in the explorer he says.

Haven't got an answer about the hibernation thing yet

Well i was pondering about the hibernation thing, the only possible conclusion other then some werid as power problem. Would be a setting in the BIOS. Have a poke around, some BIOS's allow a timed awakining from sleep/hibernation, if thats set to 2 mins, then that would be the problem. Easy fix .

If its NOT that, something deep down in the Vista machine is causing it to forcebly awaken. Have a look in scheduled tasks(type in task sch in Vista menu and hit enter).

But on that note, does it still do it during "Sleep"?

(If you didnt know what the diff between the two is, Hibernate saves sessions to memory AND harddrive, so if power goes out, you still have your work(As RAM cant hold data without power(well 10seconds it CAN last)), while sleep just saves it to RAM. The question why not only use hibernate? Well it takes longer to get into(As it dumps it to HDD).

Hibernation thing is resolved, networking card was blocking it. However, there do seems to be a problem with the HDD. 50Gig or restore is wheigh to much. Also I can't make a partition VDS can't pick up information of the HDD. It's like the disk doesn't now for itself what's used and what's not... checkdisk didn't help

Go into Accsessorys, click Disk Clean Up. Delete the shadow files.

And before i told you to go into advanced in the power settings and check the settings.

And dont really know how to help you on the "not detecting" properly thing.

VDS was stopped in services, that's why it didn't work. However, cleaning up the shadowfiles doesn't remove the unexplanable 50Gig... HP asked me to do a system restore, and they said if it remained the disk is probably broken... hmz.. all the rest works fine now

Oh well, good to know, most of its fixed now
