Hi All
Ever since installing W2k SP3, I have been having shutdown problems. Every time I tell the machine to shutdown it reboots. If i go through the start/shutdown, it restarts. If i go through the "Ctrl-Alt-del"/shutdown/shutdown, it restarts.
The only way I can get an actual shutdown is to do one of the following
1. Attempt a shutdown normaly and press the on/off switch during the post
2. Use the power on/off switch on the back of the machine in the power supply. O
3. Pull the plug
I usually do #2 or #3 and wait for scandisk to "do It's thing"
Often when I attempt to do a "norma" shutdown, it gets to the blue "windows" background - NOT A BSofD screen and hangs. If I "pull the plug" then, it will only "do the scandisk thing" about 50% of the restarts
Thanks in advance
