NT Workstation 4.0 won’t reboot

by fernandezg2 . Updated 25 years, 12 months ago

I have a P5-166 clone with 64MB RAM and 2 GB HD running NT 4.0 workstation. I can do a shutdown without a problem but I cannot execute a reboot. When you try to reboot the machine appears to do what you ask but when the screen goes blank (right before the actual reset) the system hangs.
To isolate hardware or software I installed Windows 95 and tried the same exercise and the system reboots without a problem.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Everytime a program that requires a reboot isinstalled (which is just about all of them) the system hangs.
I couldn’t find any info on this in Microsoft’s knowledge base.
Thanks,
Gus
