Unfortunately for me, I'm stuck with a (*choke*) AMI WinBios - I haven't got such a setting. :/
(Also, if I set power management to be either APM or ACPI, the kernel doesn't "Power down" like it says it's going to. Am I missing something? (Probably!))
I don't mean to come across as such a newbie w.r.t. the memory detection, lockups, or power management, but the sad facts are that I'm a software guy, not a hardware guy, and most of this is new territory for me anyway.
