[hachiman]

Hi

Just made a PC Today from an

2500+XP Chip
ABIT NF7 Mobo
1024 DDR 400Mhz Ram.
Win XP


However the computer will not shutdown.
It instantly reboots.
Aldo when i Right Click my computer it says i am using an Athlon 1100??


Any idea whats wrong?

Thanx

Did you configure your BIOS options? Sounds like the FSB isn't at what its supposed to be. Change FSB to 166 and reboot.

Thanx.

I actually sorted it by setting it to Auto.
However the PC still won't shut down corectly.

A friend thinks it's because i used my olf Case which has a 300W PSU and he thinks i need a 350W?


Is this correct?
Nothing in thr manual indicates that.

what happens when you try to shut down...does a message come up that it is now safe to turn off your computer?

No

The computer does what looks like a reboot.
No error message appears.

Sounds like maybe an APCI problem?

i had the same problems with my gigabyte board (intel). went into the onboard configuration menu. I disabled some of the wake on "---" events and it cleared it up. dont know if that will help but, u can always look around in there for other things like what your bios tells your computer to do when u push the button...bs like that.
