btw, mines hangs on a black screen after i click shut down

mine doesnt do anything

well read that knowledge database

problem usualy originates within bios power management options or advanced power managment options in windows

read u lazyboy

i read that thing ^^^^^ it didnt help i have windows xp

I looked in power management nothing to change

I havent changed any options in bios yet....

i just re installed windows this morning and i still have the same problem...

bios...

if you dont try it out, nothing will help

Perhaps you should look at the task manager and find out what is running. Chances are something's hanging up and preventing the system from shutting down.

And as for viruses, go to www.pandasoftware.com or www. antivirus.com and use their online virus scanning utililty. Maybe you missed something.
