[Saharika]

i have just installed win 200 pro and i have strange problem
i systematically shut the computer down......
and it gives the

"...computer is safe to be turn off"...

hi,
is your cabinet ATX. ie..did it use to switch off automatically before installing win2000 Pro?

for now press and hold the power for 3 to 5 Secs. the system will get switched off.


thank you.

my mother baord is indeed ATX
by the way i think its not windows 2000 problem but hardware it self

about first answer i think my computer is not off as every thing fan ,cpu seems running...(is running) though it says "safe to turn off'

i will try second option...

by the way is it mis intsalling or joing cable pins where one should not have joined...

a amatuer hardwaien just assembled the computer reading guides from the sites...

but other things are ok,.....

is it hardware problem...?
