Here's a bit of a strange problem: whenever I shut down my home-built
desktop (Windows 2000, SP4)--using 'Shut Down', not 'Restart'--after
the OS closes out and the machine powers down as it should, as soon as
the fans have shut off the whole thing fires back up again: fans kick
on, the MB comes to life, BIOS boots and Windows fires up again. If I
want this machine to stay shut down, I have to flip the back power
switch off as soon as I hear the fans shutting down.<snip>
zeke, I've read all of this thread and replies, but can't see if this
PC ever did shut down properly, and now has this problem.
If it has always been like this, it's likely that you didn't have the BIOS
set to ACPI when you installed the OS. In most cases, it's not
possible to correct this without re-installing the OS as a new HAL is
needed.
To non-destructively test this idea, try an install to an old/spare hd,
if you have one.
HTH,
