I have the 1005PE MU17 and I"m having the same issue. The only way I can get it to restart is by removing the battery and manually hitting the power switch. I don't know if it is an issue with the unit or some strange bug in Windows 7. The funny thing is I had to do the same thing to a unit in BestBuy. Before buying I tested the keyboard in a local store and I had to unplug, remove the battery, and manually restart the machine before I was able to use it in the store. At the time I did not think anything of it but now I know that is an issue, I've had to do this about 6 to 8 times in the past 3 days. I have the 1005PE MU17 and I"m having the same issue.

Like Mark Nelson I gave up and went back to the original 1gb that came in it.But here is a link from a Amazon review from someone who thinks they found the right memory for the ASUS 1005PERoy Fowler says:http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=hynix+2GB&x;=17&y;=14is the link to Amazon for the RAM stick that is working fine for me...i received it from OEMPCWORLD and altho it says Hynix at Amazon the stick itself says Netlist...either way it works great!

Sally,This link will bring you to the discussion which ends with Roy's recommendationhttp://www.amazon.com/Windows-Starter-Hanging-on-Shutdown/forum/Fx2RQB1JRRXF02D/Tx2QM5PYIJN1USP/1/ref=cm_cd_fp_ef_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B00322PYZO

My computer works fine with the original 1gb ram chip so I am wondering if it was the 2gb chip I installed that caused the problem. I originally bought the crucial 800ghz module rather than the 667 as I had read that it would not cause any problems even if the computer could not fully use the 800. The Asus website does not even list this computer, let alone the memory recommendation so I am at a loss. I returned the 800 to Amazon but hate to replace it with the 667 in case that is not the correct memory either. Any suggestions would be helpful.

SallyThe 667 will not work.So far people who have installed the 667 & the 800 crucial memory in the 1005PE have had problems.

I am having the same problem with mine, except mine has never worked. I got the E-2 error the first time I plugged it in. Have you figured out what the problem is?

I am having this problem too. I tried the power reset and tried playing with the screen to reestablish the connection, but neither worked. Are there any other suggestions out there?

1) did you make sure the heat sink was applied properly? what kind of temps are you getting @ bios when you reboot. 2) power supply: how old? what kind of wattage? 3) Have you tried doing any other intensive tasks like gaming or running a test app like SuperPi? Does it shut down then?

There is a fix online for this problem. I downloaded it and installed it today. It's listed under the 8500 firmware solutions. Just don't make the mistake of deciding to upgrade to the next release. I did and now I can't get it to install -- Fatal error. So I have no HP Solutions, and I can't scan anything. I dread the thought of calling for help tomorrow and try to get a resolve...

I added the 800hz crucial 2GB upgrade and the same thing happens when it restarts after updates. Normal restarts and shutdowns are fine, but just those restarts after program installations etc. are causing this. I'm thinking of upgrading to windows 7 home to see if it gets better, but I don't know yet...

Have you found any solution yet? I'm facing the same issue right now and I can't get it to turn at all. Anyone can enlighten? Greatly appreciated.

Yes , it does give problem sometimes. I have to restart or shut down for it to function normally!

Did you manage to upgrade the RAM - I am holding on to my purchase for the same. I am comparing betn Aspire One 533 and 1015PED. Aspire one RAM upgrade is as nightmare as it was with eee pc 1008HA. Wondering what's the scene with this one.Please let us know.

Hello . Am I never expirienced that with mine. The problem was it kept freezing and the screen kept blinking so I returned it back for full refund. I think it can be fixed I just didn't waste time.

Here is my last post on this subject.Yesterday, I took a day off from work. Since turning off the alarm for just one day is a pain, I decided to simply turn off the Aluratek for the night, and then turn it back on in the morning. BIG MISTAKE. Now, it will not run. I get the startup "splash" screen for a few seconds, the screen goes blank, and then NOTHING. It is now just a $130 nightlight.Too late to send back. So, I will hack into it and find a better way to use it. If I can build some new code, I let others know.

Thanks, If I can get/keep a connection I'll try downloading the driver. Already did the power saver. No luck for me there.

Did you press f2 on restart? Not on initial start but bring it up then do a restart. I know that sounds weird but that is how I got my HE to see the 2GB memory. Hit the f2 key multiple times to get to the BIOS screen. When I installed the 667 mhz memory on my HE the vids were choppy, I replaced it with an 800 mhz and the problem is gone. Maybe I got a bad module, who knows?

Thanks for the answers. One more question, did any of you did a new install? based on the answers it seems that most or all of you just replace an old/broken board with this one. I am actually looking to do a new installation.

I've had this computer for about 3 months and haven't had this problem (or any problem for that matter)... What have you downloaded recently? Maybe a program or something you downloaded caused this. Worst case scenario, used "system restore" to reset the computer back to a certain time when the problem didn't exist

i just plugged it in and opened the program and it shut down my computer. then when i opened my computer again in would not open. i also tried it on another computer an it did the same thing!

Same thing. Unpacked my 255W and ran the updater and it just died. Software System Missing. What a piece of crap... I plan on taking it back to SAMs and buying a Tom Tom.
