Hi, my problem is this: whenever I shutdown my computer through windows ME, it just reboots. Windows ME shuts down and the system just starts up again. I click "Start" => "Shutdown" => "Shutdown", and everything seems fine, but the next thing I know, there's my video card bios on my screen and I'm starting up again. Even if I hold down the Power button on my case for more than 4 seconds, the computer shuts off, but when I let go of the power button, it starts up again.
My system is perfectly stable when I'm in Windows, I don't experiance any lockups or "BSOD's". My only prob is shutting down. I have to use the switch on the back on my power supply to turn off my computer. When I do that, the next time I start up again, my computer goes into the BIOS and tells me it's loaded the safe config cuz it didn't shutdown properly.
I'm not overclocking my computer. Here's my specs:
AMD Athlon CPU 1400MHz
Thermaltake SK6 heatsink and 5000 rpm fan. I have the fan connected to the power supply with a 3 pin to molex converter.
256 MEG PC 2100 DDR DIMM
Asus A7M266 Motherboard BIOS 1004a
Herculese GeForce 3
SoundBlaster Live
Creative Modem Blaster V.90 PCI DI5655
3Com NIC 3C905B
Adaptek 2930 SCSI card
IBM DTLA 307045 45 Gig HDD
Quantum 13.6 gig Hdd in a removable tray
Plextor 12/10/32S SCSI CD Burner
Plextor 40Max SCSI CD ROM
Aopen 12X DVD ROM
Standard floppy disk drive
2 80 mm exhaust fans
1 80mm intake fan
Enermax Power Supply Unit 350 watt
I don't think this is a software issue. Like I said, Windows runs just fine, no stabiliity issues at all.
Any help would be apperciated.
Thanks
