After installing Windows XP Pro on a friends PC, the PC wants to re-boot itself after going througha shut down sequence. Before I start looking into the registry, I thought I would see if any one else has experienced this problem. I ask our IT pro, but he too is at a loos.

Thanks

There is a good shut down trouble-shooting guide posted at www.aumha.org

Some problems were corrected with patches you can get from windows update.

Also, make sure you have the latest drivers for all hardware.

I had a problem with a motherboard and modem not getting along in XP.
Both work fine together in W98, and individually in XP, just not together in XP.

i had three clients in one week with this same problem but it might not be yours. they had a virus, they had the klez. virus. it drove me crazy from a hardware standpoint i thought the jumpers or cmos was messed up and even the power supply.
