if you just hit the power button shortly, once (while windows is running) - does it shut down correctly then?
 
Also if you push and hold the power button does it shut off after 5 to 10 seconds without trying to restart?
 
On another note...... have you tried checking your CMOS settings and motherboard jumpers? These could possibly control this type of behavior. I know on some PC's there is a setting that changes the way the power button works.
 
If you throw pie on it, does it shut down correctly then? :badgrin:

No sorry, couldn't resist! ;). Could be a bad motherboard, but does it actually shut down for good if you hold the power button down for about 7-10 seconds? Have you checked the BIOS for any weird "don't shut the computer down" like settings?
 
did you already have a look at your bios? i remember a friend of mine had a computer that had some setting named something like "after unexpected power off" "reboot/halt/whatever". it could be that your windows dies in the shut down process. and after that the computer reboots (ever had a bluescreen? the same will happpen then).

I too kinda think this is a bios thing with the computer set to restart on power failure and it is thinking that this is what is going on.
 
Are you saying that if the modem card is plugged in it will not shut down but if it is removed it will? It sort of reads like that but is abiguous. You say the modem card works. Does that mean you connect via dialup? All I can say here is that were settings on computers that would allow them to be booted by the modem card so if you had the computer turned off and a call came in it would boot the computer and start say a fax receiving prog.

It's probably just me but I seem to be losing track of quite whee we are going here. Sorry

My mom's computer had this problem awhile back and that ^ is what it turned out to be.

I JUST HAD THIS PROBLEM...

Just yesterday, I had this problem! For me it ended up being a virus. I updated my virus definitions. Stopped all internet traffic, ran a virus scan, let it run overnight.

Then, the problem was solved.

This however, could be completely unrelated...just a suggestion.

Or it may be the prob -- I had a virus a while back on my laptop that wouldn't let me shut down; the power button didn't work, either. Fortunately, there's the brute force shutdown method for a laptop -- unplug from outlet and pop the battery out, then start over in safe mode.


The PCI business has me befuddled, though.
 
hmm check the bios again, and have a look if you see something about "wake up on .." and just disable it all together. it seems somethin with the acpi/apm is kinda f*cked up here :)
 
woot? a y2k bug? i thought that was a legend :D (err well i have seen them in like office apps etc, but never something "critical", more just formating issues).
did you already check for bios updates?

yes, i think its because the bios's date is 1906....that is the error i get when i run linux reguarding acpi.

do this: keep the bios config screen up for about five minutes. write down the day/time and shut it down. unplug it and leave it off for an entire night. the next day, turn it on and check to see if the bios config shows the same time it did before.

back in 1999/2000, i used to be a network admin. one of our print servers went down for y2k. :eek:









... but it was only a backup, so it didn't affect anything. :D
 
can you run the computer without a BIOS battery? i vaguely recall my dad's old computer having a BIOS issue and going to back to the early 1900s. i think he said he fixed it by taking out the BIOS battery, although i guess that would mean date/time in windows was never right when he first turned on the PC.
