No markings on this motherboard, guessing it is an MSI but has a 533 Cel processor.
Computer had XP pro on it. Worked okay until shut down, would go through the shut down process and can hear the hard drive shutting down, but would then give message “It is now safe to shut down your computer”
Press the Switch on case but would not shut down, unless you held the button in for a few seconds.
This computer shuts down its self with Win98 installed, but with Win2000 or WinXP you get the above message.
Only power suggestion in Bios is Power off option, instant off or 4 second then off.
I have tried all the usual things changing ram,video,power supply etc etc. but due to the fact that shuts down okay with Win98 do not see why it would be hardware related.
Even tried a different case, thinking about the on/off switch on the original case.
I do not think it is doing any damage to shut it down by holding the button in for a few seconds, when it says it is now safe to shut down your computer BUT just wanted to get your opinion first.
I am taking it that the different command line for WinXP or 2000 is not suited for this old computer, would I be right. Thank you
