Hi Simon,

I tried it and didn't work, I did go on failsafe mode to check the conf 
file and turned out to be the same, using the trident driver, I checked 
the kernel parameters and the apci was set to off, I changed that on the 
main kernel and now it's working fine. I still have to find out how this 
switch may impact on the performance of the machine tough.

But thanks for the idea

Jose
