Since re-installing, my XP desktop will not shut down from the desktop. Instead, it always does a restart. What's up? |

Is it up to date? Install this (www.microsoft.com). Did you install the chipset drivers after reinstalling windows? |

It may not be restarting normally, it might be almost shutting down, then crashing, and rebooting because of the crash.
Go to system properties and uncheck automatic restart on system failure and see if you get a BSOD instead of reboot next time you try shutdown. |
