I have just loaded Windows 2000 Pro onto a PIII 733 and it won't automatically shutdown when selecting shutdown. You have to hold the button in for a while for the power to turn off.
I am also having this problem with a Windows XP box running PIII 600.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks

Mil

This can be caused by virus scanning software still running.

TO EASY MATE

You Just Gotta Go Into The Power Options And Enable

Power Supply Or Whatever It Is Called Support

Shutdown Support

You Will See It In There

Its In Power Options
I Had The Same Problem With Shutting Down When I Had WIndows 2K You Just Enable The Support In Power Options

It WILL Work
Goodluck

If Not Which Is Very Unlikely Check You BIOS Settings

But the above should work

Check that you have the latest bios and that it supports ACPI.
