:smile: Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

Thanks for the help... now i know that theres an error when shutting down

error message says "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL"
I have taken all the pci cards and booted the computer and shutting down with the same error...
anyone have any ideas?

Are all of your drivers updated? Also, what version of XP are your running and is it updated? I know Win XP had that problem when it was first released.
