It auto shuts down fine with XP SP1. However, the machine can still be readily shut down via the case front-panel switch. The first problem you describe may be just a faulty FP switch or a faulty connection from the front-panel switch to the motherboard. The rest of the described problems might result from either the BIOS problem that I described, or a corrupted OS installation ( or both). John Lewis > > >

I just assumed it was a faulty case, but having recently installed the board in a new case the problem remains. I'm stumped.

If so, one of your third-party drivers is causing it. |
