SOLUTION ON SHUTDOWN PROBLEMS I had the same experience on my friends' ibm 2196-31Q running WinXP which was win98SE before, the computer always restart on shut down. I have tried every advice from various forums regarding this type of problem. Some worked for a short period of time, like unchecking the checkbox on task scheduler (start>>run>>type msconfig>>service tab>>uncheck task scheduler) and restoring default on CMOS(presing del,ins and f1, this depend on what you should press, you can see this right after you press the power button to enter setup, bootup then selecting restore defaults and save the settings) but most did'nt. What I would like to add is on how I solved this problem totally, I have noticed that when you're computer shutdown it save settings as it shows in the screen when shutting down, this may refer to small issues of what you're computer remembers before turning off, like the processes running and what are connected to the CPU, if something is different when you turn on the computer, it reconises a wrong pattern according to what it remembers and thus affecting the system, this was the issue on mine. I have discovered that when using my computer while connected to the internet and tried to shut down, it did shutdown completely or just having the telephone line connected, Btw, i use dial up in connecting. Another is it remembers what was connected to it(CPU) before it shutdown (mouse, keyboard, monitor, telephone line and speaker), this can also cause abnormal shutdown. In conclusion, don't change anything before you turn on or off the computer. This worked for this type of computer, not sure to work on others.
