Computer Shutdown
by sjac - 3/7/08 7:51 AMI just built a new computer (core 2 quad Q6600, ASUS P5K, Geforce 9600GT, 2 gig DDR2 running XP Pro SP2)I am having one minor problem. when i go to the start menu and click on shut down the computer turns off but in a few seconds it reboots, I have to hold in the power button for a few seconds to shut the machine down completely. Any ideas of how to correct this
Sounds as if...

The BIOS and motherboard drivers are out of date. How did you ensure these are current?

Run a "check disk"
by Dango517 - 3/7/08 8:28 AM In reply to: Computer Shutdown by sjacUse registry repair software from here:

(Some of this software is free, some of it is not.)
If this has only just begun, recently then you might use a restore point to revert it to a time before the problem began. If it started immediately when you started the computer for the first time then your stuck with it.
If these three approaches fail, live with it or reinstall the OS. If you take this drastic approach to fix the problem make sure the OS installation disk is clean and not scratched before you load it.
I do not believe this is a problem with your build. This is an OS glitch. If this is the only problem your having then good work on your new computer.
No OS was been specified. This would have been helpful.
