ASUS A7V266-E Reboot Issues

[Guest]

Just bought a new pc - asus a7v266-e, 1.8 AMD, quantun fireball plus as, enermax 350w, vantec cck-6035d. Put it together and built it with win_xp. All works great - super fast!, however, every time I try to restart the pc (Start - shutdown - restart), it hangs at the last stage of the shutdown process (this also RARELY happens when I choose shutdown instaed of restart). I do not beleive that this is OS related - this was happening during ALL stages of the OS install.
Error log looks fine, Bios is current, and I have triple-checked the jumper settings (re-built the pc twice also). Any advice or ideas?

Check if you don't have resource (IRQ) conflicts or buggy drivers.

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground .

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary when checking IRQ assignemnts so I went back to the BIOS. Apparently, there are two places to disable the onboard audio (I had only found one before). I disabled this as well as set the "plug and play bios" option to NO, as recommended by Microsoft. Problem solved - I should have been more thorough with my BIOS settings from the start. Thanks for the help.
