I just installed a new motherboard (DFI "AD77 Infinity")
and Windows XP Pro. Everything seems to be working except
when I try to turn off the cumputer through the start
menu (turn off computer- Turn off)it starts up again just
as if I hit restart. Can somewone help?
Thanks TDS

Disable your function to automatically turn off the computer power upon
shutdown. Some mistake this signam from the operating system as the user
pushing the power button to boot up. Others won't turn off without this
option on.
