    Check the settings in the bios.

    To get to the bios you'll need to press either del , f12, f2, f10 or one of these ( a little tip is to bash the keyboard - then you'll get an error asking if you want to enter set up!!

    you should in the bios find power settings which should help. Im guessing you have a reinstall of windows on it.
