I have deactivated ACPI on my computer because I had a problem with stability due to the IRQ sharing. Now my computer wont turn of automatically.
I have heard that AVPM or APM (Advanced Power Management) can make the computer turn of by itself. Can I get it to do it somehow without having to reactivate ACPI? I do need to turn of my machine sinces i sleep right next to it and i got "plenty" of coolers and airflow through it - hence lots of noise! :)
In short can I get my computer to turn of without ACPI activated?
