re: Question about When I choose Shut Down the computer restarts instead Wednesday, July 9, 2008 at 7:34 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Myk (1 messages posted) Solved this problem thru the BIOS. This is happening to my old ECS K7VTA3 v6 motherboard. It reboots instead of powering down when I shutdown windows. It happens when I insert a Soundcard on my PCI slot. But when the PCI slots are empty, the computer turns off normally when I shutdown windows. The solution was disabling PowerOn by PCI Card option in the bios. Under Power Management Setup select IRQ/Event Activity Detect. Select PowerOn by PCI Card. Then Disable it. Then reboot and see if it works. Those having a different motherboard bios find this option and do it also. Hope this helps.
