Hi,
I recently upgraded my windows 7 to windows 8 pro without too many difficulties. I have an old laptop (sony vaio vgn fz21m with some hardware upgrades, was originally a Vista pc).
I tried the free Windows 8 with a dualboot for a while and everything seemed fine so I decided to buy the upgrade.
Right now I'm encountering two issues:
- When I close my laptop, it doesn't go into sleep mode, it keeps running but the screen turns black and when I open it again I can't do anything except a hard shut down.
- When I select shut down almost the exact same thing happens. It tries to shut down, screen goes black but it keeps running forcing me to do a hard shut down as well (pressing the power button for 5 seconds).
It did not have any of these issues with the dual boot ...
Can anyone help me here?
Thanks!
