Will Not Resatrt

[Fred]

Hello:

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to what would prevent WindowsXP
Pro from doing a restart? It will completely shut-down if I ask it to
do that; just refuses to do a restart. Have to hold the power button
until it manually shuts off, then I am able to restart.

Recent events on this Dell Dimension 8250:
Uninstalled WinFax 10.0 Pro
Upgraded BIOS to version A04 (probably a big mistake!)

TIA

Have you checked the power managment settings in the BIOS?
