Is there anyway the red button in the start menu can be set to shut down the
computer instead of putting it to sleep mode?

This is because my network card (ASUS Striker Extreme MOBO with NVidia
nForce networking controllers) crashes whenever my computer enters sleep
mode.

In addition, I shut down the computer much more often than putting it to
sleep.
 
Re: Start Menu Sleep button

What OS do you have that the red button puts the computer in
the sleep mode?

Mine requires the yellow button to go to the sleep mode.

Re: Start Menu Sleep button

Go to Control Panel and type power in the search, select change what the
power buttons do.

Re: Start Menu Sleep button

Sorry, I'm using Vista HP x64.

I've checked Control Panel and power button is set to shut down and the
other to sleep mode.
Just to clarify, because my OS is Portuguese, there's shut down (turn off
the computer), hibernate (save session and turn off computer) and sleep
(low-power mode). Is this correct.
Don't these Control Panel settings refer to keyboard keys?

And yeah, just noticed the button is yellow, but when not selected it seems
red...

Hi fs_fan,

Go to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options then Change Plan
Settings. Click on the blue hyperlink "Change advanced power settings".
Expand Power buttons and lid. Expand Start menu power button and change it
to shutdown.
