I've installed Windows xp and everything is working fine, except for the

'It is

press

doesn't work!).
I enabled APM in the power options (thus tab APM is available), but this
causes the machine to restart!


You don't have an AT power supply on this MB, do you??? If you do, it
will NOT shut the power down.


If he did, the front power button would work instantly. Good try though!

It's probably a combination of BIOS settings, mainboard and how Windows read
the hardware when it was installed.



Whoops!!!! I missed the comment about the power button.
