This is new build. Old MOBO died. New parts Antec E85 500wat PSU , ASRock 4Core Dual SATA2 MOBO, Intel Core 2 E8500 Processor, Corsair DDR2 2GB, WD 500GB sata HDD --Used parts spare ATI Radeon X1600 PRO 512 MB AGP Video card, 2ea DVD R/W drives and 3.5 Floppy.
Set bios for non raid . Loaded Win XP SP2C and all boots up and works fine. It just will not shut down when selecting start, Shut down computer, Shut down . It says saving your settings I hear shutdown sounds then says windows is shutting down and hangs up. Only way to shut down then is to interrupt power. Hitting reset buttons shuts it off instantly. Holding power switch for few seconds will shut it off also. I have removed all drives except the HDD and still same thing. Reformatted HDD loaded Win XP again no joy. Tried known good power supply from my office computer no help . Removed HDD and installed it in spare computer it boots and shuts down fine in older Gigabyte system. I have downloaded all updates SP3 for windows OS no help tried winsock fix no help. Tried different power settings in control panel no help. Reloaded default settings in BIOS no Help. The OS and all programs loaded so far work it just will not power off. What am I Missing? I am not a Tech so I have probably missed something. Over a dozen builds and this is the first time for this. Any help is appreciated
