I have a older pc that has windows 98 on it. When I try to shut down it will beep three times and startup again... any ideas why this occurs?

First, boot from a floppy, and see if it shuts down from holding the power button in.

If it does the same thing, I suspect that you have a problem with the power control circuit on the motherboard.

You can check the power management settings in BIOS setup and verify that items such as wake on Lan or ring are disabled.

all tested already power button will turn it off.. settings in bios that you suggested are disabled

First i think you should run msconfig and uncheck any duplicate entry in the starup tab, and also disable the fast shutdown in the general tab.

hope this help

already installed that.
