toddah0 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Will start in safe mode but not in normal. Have tried every diagnostic in safe mode, uninstalled every unnecessary periphial, config selective start up, diconnected sound card, second HD and cdr to check for shorts. Nothing. I'm totally stumped. The machine is not connected to the web and it was used the night before solely to burn cds for date transfer to new system.

Gurgelmeyer Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Have you tried a step-by-step confirmation to see where things start to go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Some one could be pulling a prank on you. If you put shutdown.exe with appropriate switches into your startup folder then the computer will do exactly what you are describing. Check the startup folder and see what is there.

jeeva Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I think it's a Protection Error, after that my old pcs show the "It's now safe to turn off the Computer" screen, on newer systems the PCs does that automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
