Computer resets instead of shutting down
Hi,
I just finished installing a Gigabyte P4-Titan mb (GA-8VT800-L) with a 1.7 Ghz Celeron with XP Pro. Installed Win XP-Pro and all the updates from MS. However, the one anomoly is that when I click to close the OS software it appears to be closing down but then it resets itself and restarts going right through posting all the way to loading the OS instead of simply shutting off. I've never run into this one before. Any ideas or suggestions? -- Jan Alter or |

I doubt this will help you, but I had a Win98 computer do that to me several months ago; when I took it back to my friend's house, though, it worked fine with his monitor/keyboard/mouse. Jon |

Thanks for responding. The problem turned out to be a setting in the BIOS.
Disabling the PME (Power Management Event) setting let the thing turn off. This piece of information came to me via someone in another NG that I'd posted. -- Jan Alter or "Jon Danniken" wrote in message ...
