I think you're putting it into standby, not shutdown. Alternatively, your BIOS may have a setting that allows your OS to turn the computer off, and for some reason it isn't activated right now. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America. It is forced and the democrats are behind it, with the goal of eugenics at its foundation." -FreeEnterprise, 21 April 2011. Yup, he actually said that. |

I'm gonna agree with Brihard; this does sound like a BIOS problem. So, if you want to update your BIOS or try to figure out what is wrong in your current one go ahead. Realize that you need to know what mobo you have, specifically. Also, updating or messing with the BIOS is very risky, especially since it sounds like you aren't to computer inclined. If you are smart, you will need to get over your fear of pointy ears and take it back to the store. |
