Computer won't shut down

Post by zolborg »

I have a client with a computer that wont shut down.

When you go through the motions, start, shutdown, it does the usual stuff saying windows is shutting down etc.

Then when it usually shuts down, it makes a click and reboots.


I'm a bit stumped at this point. Assume its a motherboard thing. Checked the bios, but cant find anything obvious to change in there.


Any suggestions...............??
