At normal shutdown the computer starts up again 1 second after the fan stops. I have tried removing the start button and the re-set button`s. the only way to STOP it is with the wall switch.


I run windows xp professional with service pack 3. 2.2 ghz Intel core 2 duo, Mother Board is a Gigabyte tech 81865GME-775-RH R2.0 Bus Clock 200 meg. Bios is Award software Int FE with 2032 meg of INSTALLED memory The hard drive is 500.10 Gig.
Please has anyone got any ideas what is causing this prob.There might be a SETTING for that in the BIOS. I'm thinking something to do with MOUSE movement, or possibly something in the Power Settings.Boot to safe mode. Now try to shut it down. What happens?Hi Alan, re computer will not shut down.
Yes have tried that with no result, plus a few others that have been sugested,
now it looks like a visit to the local repair shop.
Will post on here when i find out the results cheers Gaslamp.SOUNDS like a faulty power supply.Also sounds like a power supply problem to me. Had a similar problem before and had a spare p/s so decided to try it and never had that particular problem again. It's also possible that the power button may be stuck in the 'on' position. Can you hear the distinctive click when you press it?
