Possibly a 3rd party driver error? I've started gathering
info from the web, but if you have ideas, it would help.

Win2K on an ASUS board now will only go to black screen
during shutdown or reboot request, system does not power
off, nor reboot without my manual intervention (hitting
reset button or power switch). System had
rebooted/shutdown fine during initial install of OS. After
many programs were added is when problem appeared. Even
tried another formatted disk with OS and programs and ran
into same effect, though not after a specific program was
loaded or any other effort that was identical with other
hard disk.

Thoughts appreciated and entertained.

According to Microsoft, this is usually an issue with your AGP slot or video
card. Make sure you're using the latest motherboard BIOS, video BIOS,
chipset drivers and video card drivers. Also try the latest DirectX from
Microsoft.
