Bios problem?

[rkeslar]

On my backup computer I installed Win xp sp2. I have to shut off with the power button instead of os. I think there is a setting in the bios to correct this but I could be wrong. Any suggestions?

What happens when you attempt to shut down through the OS? Nothing at all?

Sounds like the chipset drivers need to be installed.
Your most likely missing the ACPI support

I get the "You may now turn off your computer "message
