re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' Monday, March 7, 2005 at 11:04 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Brie13 (1 messages posted) I am having problems too, I just reinstalled a clean windows copy onto my mom's pc, she had her computer built by this unknown guy and he put in an MSI motherboard, and the drivers seem kinda sketchy. He also put in a TAIMAG ethernet card D-0120 and I have a prickly feeling that it is causing the problem, because it took me forever to find its driver. Her first issue was that she was losing connection every 20 mins or so to the internet, even though the modem and the networking showed she was still "on" but packets were not being sent. I installed Windows Home, Norton Antivirus, of course the VGA and Sound drivers that came with the motherboard, and XP did not find the ethernet card on its own like it should. I took the thing out and put it back in on another PCI, and it found it. But when i had to reinstall again because of a rebooting problem, Xp did not find the ethernet card yet AGAIN. DOH!! Should i get a better card and driver that works with XP in a nicer way and try again?
