Have you tried using different (or not using certain) USB ports? I have seen problems with Windows 8 and shutdown/sleep/hibernate that were worked-around by going into the BIOS and reducing the number of USB ports and/or disabling Fast Startup.
I'd be interested in seeing if this was fixed in the final RTM build (or the subsequent General Availability Cumulative Update [kb2756872] MS released).

Depending on the BIOS, you can change the number of USB ports that are available to the OS. Did you mean a BIOSTAR mobo? I don't have any experience with their BIOS, but it looks like the latest BIOS for their 945P-A7A was released on 2012-09-17. Perhaps the BIOS update, alone, will fix the issue.

Can u give me a link?

Well, it looks like I misread their download page. The 2012-09-17 file appears to be the BIOS updater application. The latest BIOS shown (available when you click on ver. 8.x in the "Ver." drop-down menu) is dated 2007-11-19:
http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=80#dl
It appears an older BIOS is available at http://www.biostar-usa.com/mbdownloads.asp?model=945P-A7A%20V8.X, dated 2006-09-14.

i already installed that one, thanks anyway

Btw, Fast Startup is enabled/disabled at System Settings > scroll down to the Shutdown settings & uncheck "Turn on fast startup (recommended)."
Fast Startup uses a hybrid shutdown that saves the kernel session and device drivers to the hiberfil.sys on the HD instead of closing everything.
You can also disable Fast Startup by disabling Hibernate.

I will check that when im back home. Is that on the bios or on windows?

U tell me, wich one u think the best for the price!

My lappie had the 'won't stay shutdown' thing...
After I allowed all the windows updates it kind of fixed itself...
I wonder if there are some updates that require a restart that call for restarts only, no shutdowns and we'll configure later scenarios?

[Q] Windows 8 overheating my ultrabook

Strange little problem I’ve got here. I’m using the brilliant Asus UX31E ultrabook which is a 1.8ghz i7.
Didn’t have any problems running windows 7, but just installed a fresh windows 8 last week.
I’ve installed all the updates I could find from the ASUS website but here’s the problem, with windows 7 the fans would only ever come on if you were really pushing it playing a game. Using windows 8 the fans will regularly come on just browsing in chrome.
when you open task manager the computer details recognise that it’s only a 1.8 processer yet it often is being utilized as high as 2.8ghz! This is making the machine overheat, turn on the fans and sometimes have to turn itself off.
I’ve been into power settings and reduced the maximum power usage to 70% and that usually does the job, but then it quickly forgets this setting and restores it to 100% (2.7GHZ!). In task manager the highest task utilisation wise is ‘system’ but no idea exactly what it’s doing..
Is there anything I can do to have greater control over the processor speed or investigate what might be causing the problem?
Asus had some power control software for windows 7 but don’t seem to offer it for windows 8.
Cheers guys

Have you done a upgrade or clean installation from windows 8
if you had done a upgrade please do a clean installation of windows 8
if not then go to the advance power settings in the control panel and set processor cooling state to active

I was wondering if it was a true clean install or upgrade. I read he installed a fresh copy nut wasn't sure if that was meaning clean (wiped the drive) or what. I didn't really notice.alot of heat issues with my last laptop I upgraded; I chose to keep personal files and settings. I do have about 180gb of pictures and movies which were scattered in multiple locations on win7. Now my media is very orderly, as well as my 20gb of music.
Saying all that, I believe when I installed the media center that it cleaned up my files, or it may have just been windows 8, but either way it took some work on wimdows8 to organize my hard drive much better than before. I have scanned my hd for the need to defrag it, but it shows to be dang near perfect. If you have alot of media on your machine I wonder if its doing file management, which is making it run hot, etc. I know phones are different but when I load a new ROM it takes it several hours to slow down the media system usage.
How many days have you been running the system with wimdows8 ? Do you have a lot of Files/media on your machine ?

The majority of the time, the issue isn't with the Operating System as much as it is with a single application. Check task manager while your computer is running and see what applications are causing the processor to go nuts. If it is indeed a system application, then I would suggest doing a complete wipe and fresh install of Windows 8. You can back up your authentication key by saving a specific folder in the File Browser. Do a search on MyDigitalLife for that information.
Doing a quick search on your Processor, it runs standard at 1.8 ghz, and the 2.9 jump is completely normal. It's a feature called "Turbo Speed". With Windows 8 came upgraded drivers, which probably enabled this feature that you've never noticed.

yes it is true
whoever each and every application running sometimes FC itself or crashes while operation which leaves a unmarked thread or loos end of the application (which also termed as viruses when they start further spreading the system)

Windows 8 Pro 64bit

After using for a week, it is a good phone except below possible bugs:
SD card support is not available. I cannot save into SD card for HERE.
Juice defender is not working properly in controlling the data, perhaps due to 4G network.
The battery dies faster after 15% and drop to 0% within 5 mins. My phone shutdown at 8%. Maybe it is a battery issue.
The Antutu benchmark is disappointing and only reach 29k instead of the 40k. 3D benchmark is the weakness.
SOLVED:
[*]Waze display is messy and screwed up. The words and display are fuzzy. Updated to 3.9.4.919 solved the display issue.

Overheating and slowdown performance, Our engineers are try to solve them via software, for the touch problem you can dial *#*#33#*#*to enter test mode to see it's ok or not. The CM12.1 is based on 5.1. you can update to it.

Hello elephone1
1. I have the same problem like this guy http://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5046&page=1&ordertype=1#pid54899 (pictures inside is red color)
It is software bug (will it be fixed?) or hardware problem?
2. Wifi signal is very bad.

Stock 20150617 ROM
1) Camera pics have slight red colour in centre
2) Music player doesn't recognize WMA format music files - won't play the tunes
3) Compass doesn't work - yes I've calibrated it
Other than that I'm loving the phone

Stock 20150617
Wifi is unstable and often lost signal
Inviato dal mio Elephone P7000 utilizzando Tapatalk

Stock 20150617
1) Wifi is intermittent. Sometimes works flawlessly, sometimes very very slow. Signal is good though.
2) Icons get corrupted, for example recycle bin icon when home button is kept pressed.
3) Phone application cannot select which contact groups to show (Gmail, phone, SIM etc) and shows all contacts instead. In the Contacts app you can select any group you like.
4) Bluetooth A2DP streaming is broken! I've managed to make it work only with VLC app, but only for the first song I will play. Next songs won't play, I can only hear a soft background noise.
5) Camera is purple and blur near the edges in low lighting.
6) Compass is unstable, even after calibrating it. Also, calibration is lost upon restarting.
7) More to come...

stock rom 20150617
when using headphone jacks
at low volume there is a hissing noise sound
at level 1 and 2 or any low level sound
there is a background noise
how to fix this?
please have this fix in next updated ROM.

For 20150617: CPU being throttled? Asphalt 8 has frame rate drops even though everything is rendered correctly on High or Medium Settings.

We are still fixing it now, still unsolved, when it solved, I will update it here, Can you tell me more about your wifi signal, as my P7000 works well on wifi,

Thanks for your initiative and taking care of customer satisfaction. I received the phone yesterday, and I already had to spam your forum...
1)my SIM1 slot is not working. I used a normal sized SIM. As I guess it is hardware, I sent a mail to your after-sale email address. http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-5935-1-1.html#.VZuSKyjYBA4

3)encryption doesn't work http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-6010-1-1.html#.VZuVGyjYBA4
4) GPS accuracy reported by the driver is overestimated http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-6010-1-1.html#.VZuVGyjYBA4
5)[solved] autolock not working when using fingerprint http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-6012-1-1.html#.VZuatijYBA4
6)P7000 asks an unidentified password for credential storage when setup for using fingerprint http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-6013-1-1.html#.VZudOSjYBA4
Are these bugs already known and when can I expect a solution? I bought this phone to replace my so buggy Zopo ZP999 and I will not start a 6 months waiting without solution process again.

I'm using the Stock Rom with OTA updates to P7000_20150617.
Mostly the phone works great! But I'm having no end of issues with Bluetooth.
I can pair with my Kia Sportage in-car bluetooth but every time I connect I get no audio unless I disconnect and reconnect. This is very frustrating.
I can pair with my Grandtech APT-X Optical Bluetooth 4.0 Music Transmitter Receiver but if I move the phone more than about 0.5m away from it the audio degrades severely until it cuts out completely. Compared with my old Samsung Galaxy S4 where I can connect up to 6m away.
Other Bluetooth audio devices appear very hit and miss as to whether the phone connects and works.
Any assistance greatly appreciated but I suspect it will be a ROM update to fix these issues.

Poor GPS navigation and unusable compass
Hello Elephone1,
using Stock 20150617 ROM OTA on my P7000
I have only 2 issues:
1. When I use the P7000 for navigation (Navigon, Google Maps etc.) it often happens, that the arrow (actual position) is about 50 meters off the real position. Also the displayed position is up to 100 meter afterwards the actual position.
2. The compass jumps in the shown direction. Even after successful calibration.

totally agree WiFi needs to be worked on, while at home seems to be connects but it slow even next to the router, most of the time i don't get emails nor whatsapp msgs while connected to WiFi, once i leave home and disconnects everything loads like in a stampede automatically
while on WiFi i have to manually open the applications and takes some seconds before loads stuff up
