Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' Tuesday, January 15, 2002 at 2:58 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by rodders (1 messages posted) I have a tip regarding When I choose "Shut Down" from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down: If you have a motherboard that supports ACPI, try disabling the 'PME Event Wakeup' setting in the Power Management section of the BIOS. It worked for me (Gigabyte GA-7ZXR with AMI BIOS) Responses to this message: re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Paula C: Sunday, February 24, 2002 at 1:38 pm) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (antihacker: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 at 6:10 am) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Computer Solutions: Sunday, March 9, 2003 at 1:19 pm) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Malcolm Anderson: Sunday, March 30, 2003 at 6:10 pm) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Mike Kudrow: Thursday, October 23, 2003 at 11:41 am) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Ren of Heavens: Saturday, May 1, 2004 at 3:14 pm) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (ton: Thursday, June 10, 2004 at 6:03 am) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Oscar: Thursday, August 18, 2005 at 6:23 am) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (leafy: Friday, January 12, 2007 at 6:17 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (rodders: Tue, Jan 15, 2002, 2:58 pm) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Paula C: Sun, Feb 24, 2002, 1:38 pm) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (antihacker: Wed, Jul 31, 2002, 6:10 am) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Computer Solutions: Sun, Mar 9, 2003, 1:19 pm) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Malcolm Anderson: Sun, Mar 30, 2003, 6:10 pm) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Mike Kudrow: Thu, Oct 23, 2003, 11:41 am) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Ren of Heavens: Sat, May 1, 2004, 3:14 pm) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (ton: Thu, Jun 10, 2004, 6:03 am) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (HolyGuy: Fri, May 20, 2005, 9:18 pm) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Subharanjan Gupta: Sat, Aug 18, 2007, 12:14 pm) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (jpaquette: Fri, Sep 7, 2007, 6:16 am) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Oscar: Thu, Aug 18, 2005, 6:23 am) re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (leafy: Fri, Jan 12, 2007, 6:17 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows XP Discussion Forum
