Peculiar start-up problem
This just started recently...sounds more like a hardware problem, but though
I'd ask the question anyway. Have a 4 year old compaq pc running windows xp home. Go through the normal shut down procedure startturn off computerturn off. Machine goes through shut down as it should and then completely shuts off. If I wait 10-15 seconds, it turns back on. The only way for me to shut down is to unplug from the power strip. As I said, I am assuming it is either the start switch or the power supply...but if anyone has other ideas... Thanks -- kah |

Check your BIOS for any "Wake On..." settings that may be enabled.
