Couple of quick oftopic things Commodore 64 had 64k of ram which is roughly equal to 0.064 Megs.
They would have kiiled you for a 8 Meg machine in 1987. Thing two: Yes it sounds like a software driven issue. Try to Update the driver by doing to the manufacturers webside and look for software for that machine. When you boot your system up. In most systems, will prompt you which button to use to enter the BIOS generally within 5 seconds of you turning on the laptop. Either Delete or F2. or some other ungodly key combination. Pay attention at the very start when the screen initially comes up. GL m8
Download the BIOS updates from your manufacturer's websites. Often the vanilla versions are seriously limited in functionality.
I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.
RP Story (Still deciding whether or not to finish)
Ok, I'm googling all over to try and find where to download this. I found one for Intel, but that's not what mine is. Mine laptop is an e-Pro something or other.. I'll have to look at specific name...
There are lot's of websites that have the name e-pro but I don't think they are specififly the manufacture's site for m laptop.
ANybody know a website to download a maybe, universal, BIOS update? I'll keep looking anyway.
