Re: Windows XP Pro Shutting Down

NEED HELP >>>> I updated my BIOS, and now I can not shut down my PC, it just
reboots.
"Everytime I enter shutdown mode, it reboots".

I never had CD creater installed, and I never had Roxie Installed.
I have auto restart unchecked In the recovery program.

Not idea on whats going on.

Intel motherboard, P865perl. Intel P4 3.4 Processor. Windows XP Pro 2nd

>>> I had a couple of unknown shutdowns, with Bios Ver. P19.... so I updated to the lastest Bios which is P21. but now I can not shutoff my system without holding in the power botton.

I e-mailed Intel, and so far I received no response.

Also note I have "Registry Doctor" Installed and it has "not" found or fixed
this problem.

Please ... someone help.
