Shutdown Problems
I am having an odd problem with Windows 2000. When I tell it to shutdown, it just reboots the computer. I'm wondering if it's a problem with my hardware or its some configuration problem in the software.

Thanks.

I am not familiar with that board, thus i ask if it is an AT board, as I also have that problem with an old machine built on an AT board.
It could be that 2000 tells the board to shut down, but because the AT supply cannot be soft switched, it stays on and resets.
Just a thought.

I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.

OK, two years on, I have finally managed to fix this shutdown problem with the P5A and Windows 2000 by using ASUS's new BIOS revision - 1011 Beta 005. Simply enable APM after up[censored] to this revision, and your system *should* power down properly on Shutdown!
