Usually, modem or network cards cause this problem in XP.

Start by making sure that you have the XP updates for the Sound Blaster installed.

Next, try the sound card (and any other plug-in cards in different slots.

It is not impossible thatthe Trident card is the actual problem.

Check out the XP shout down trouble shooting guide posted at www.aumha.org for more ideas.

Check your bios setting, see whether your APM is enable.
Or
check your motherboard manual for jumper to enable APM.

and

Check the power setting in bios, some bios have power-on mode try all mode which one work for u.
