Shutdown/Restart

[Frank Smith]

XP Home SP2 (have had SP2 since pre-release days, so not a new upgrade)

New "feature" when I do a Restart the computer completely shutsdown/powers
off.
Been fine until the other day for a normal Restart.

Any ideas,
Frank

It sometimes does with some machines - I suspect a conflict with the way
the BIOS and hardware work not matching Windows Power management. May
happen pre-SP2 or be brought on by changes in that

Frankly the easiest is to let it shut down then power on again - it only
adds a few seconds, as it would go right back to power up state anyway
