pcchips m754lmr doesn't poweroff

[Sentiniate]

i just upgraded from win98se to winxp.
with the former i could poweroff the pc via software.

the relevant section in the bios (power management setup) had: power
management : apm/acpi

after upgrading i have to shut down manually, i only get the window
with: now you can shut down, and the pc stops there and i need to push
the power button for more than 4 seconds.

i tried setting the bios to apm only but with no success.
any ideas?
thanks in advance

Do you have a problem with moving your arm?

before answering plese check that your brain is properly inserted in
the slot!

my home gateway has an at m/b, if you can understand what i am saying!
therefore i do not have any problem in shutting down manually, but i
like having things working properly ..... obviously it is not your
case!

I have a whole in the back of my head. Do you have the interface I need?
