After finish playing any games from the cd-rom,i wish to shut the PC down. But everytime i try to do it, the PC will auto restart itself rather then shuting down. Please help.

Thanks

If you are using w98SE, then MS has Q238096 for that problem. It includes about 15 troubleshooting tips. More often than not, the problem is software related, that is, a third party software you loaded. Hope this helps!

Sorry, forgotten to tell you people that im using Win 2000 Pro. I think that maybe its the software problem also. Thanks anyway.

Afew thoughts,
1) Check the BIOS for Unattended Start, should be DISABLE

2) Check Advanced Power Management, Right click on Desk Top, Properties, Screensaver Tab, Power Management on Bottom, I recommend Power Management Always, and NEVER for anyHard disk or moniotor settings.

3) Make sure the shut down option is set to shutdown, not restart. (Sorry for this one, But I do not know your expertise and I am trying to cover all bases.)

4) You may also want to check the Power management settings in the BIOS at startup.

Good Luck
