re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' Friday, January 12, 2007 at 6:17 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by leafy (1 messages posted) This is only accually a problem if you have a decent power supply. For the PME Event to even happen the +5 rail from your power supply must supply more than 1 amp else you won't even have this problem. This is accually a bug in Windows and I'm supprised Microsoft has not fixed it. I'm also supprised that any black hat hackers haven't used it to make any zombie computers.
