Shut Down Problem with Intel DP35DP
I an running an Intel DP35DP, with Windows XP Pro, 1G of RAM (soon to be
4) a SilverStone Tech powersupply at 450 watt. I am taking advantage of the RAID array and have two Western Digital 230G drives on there and they're running without any problems. When I shut down a few minutes ago, both drives powered down, but the fans and blue power LED stayed on. I hit the rest button and thing happened. I had to reach back and use the manual power switch on the PSU. As God is my witness I haven't changed anything on the PC, but I do have a RAM upgrade planned. |

There was probably a service running that didn't want to terminate. Instead of using the regular shutdown, you can use the one that's in "Computer Management." (I think then it's something like "Action- Properties-Advanced-Shut-down-Shutdown/always" but I don't have it in front of me right now.) That allows specifying that all services are to be forced to shut down. BTW, instead of using the switch on the back, you should have been able to press and hold (for about 6-10 seconds) the front panel power switch. -- The e-mail address in our reply-to line is reversed in an attempt to minimize spam.

But Windows had already shut down and terminated. Remember, the screen was blank, and went into power save mode and the hard drives powered down. |

Just make a shortcut on the desktop containing C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 04 That works well for me. |

Windows is completely out of the loop by this time. How can a process still run when the hard drives are powered down and the screen is blank? |
