re: Power Off Loop Monday, July 12, 2004 at 6:36 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Susan Roper (3 messages posted) Don - thank you very much for your response. I've checked all that you suggested and come up blank. All the power supplies are working fine and the peripherals have been removed and it still auto restarts and shuts down "improperly" over and over an over. Each shut down occurs about 10 seconds after the main menu shows up. It's almost like there is a bug in the start up process, because it shuts down so consistently at the same time..... I appreciate your help!
