It sounds like in his BIOS settings that he has "Suspend To Disk" selected for the suspend function. You suspend by holding down the power button briefly. To turn off the computer however, you hold down the power button until the machine powers down.

I realize I could be totally off, but it sounds like he just isn't holding down the power button long enough...

When the computer detects that the battery is low, it will suspend (in whichever mode you have selected -- in this case, Suspend to Disk). It sounds like he was working, the battery got too low and automatically suspended itself.

As far as it hanging, can you be more clear? Normally, when you suspend to disk the computer will go through some process of saving whatever you have in memory to a special partition on the hard drive. It's possible that somehow this partition got corrupted but that might be jumping ahead a bit. Could you clarify?

Hope this helps,
Jess
