not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes

I'm running winXP pro and for a while now I"ve had problems shutting it down. I"m not sure if it is my hardware, ide, or whatever that is causing a problem. Here goes.

I have a Shuttle AN35N ultra mobo which runs on a nvidia chipset, amd 2200+ cpu, 200 gb hdd (forget if it is seagate or western digital). It's a basic setup that I made a few years ago. I've been running it fine for a few years and for the past few months now after i formatted it it gave me the BSOD and i would have to manually push the power button off to turn it off. Now trying a new winxp disc i am finding that instead of giving me the bsod it would just reboot the comp.

Does anyone know what the problem could be and how I could fix this?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Go into your bios and change the setting to automatically reboot upon crash. The BSOD should sit there, write down the error number then go searching for an answer.

 

sounds like a mobo problem
