xp professional doesn't shut off on Dell PC by
Petrus Tax
Hello,
Somebody gave me a Dell Optiplex GX 270 PC without a HD. I added a HD and
installed: XP Pro + SP3 on it. Unfortunately, the PC doesn't shut off
automatically, as it should - also not after Restart. I opened the BIOS, but
didn't find anything useful to change or reset.
Any hints? Thank...
