| | Vista Ultimate and XP Pro shutdown and immediately restart System Configuration: HD1 - XP Pro with all updates HD2 - Vista Ultimate with all updates I switch OS at boot time via F10 key. Problem: I select Turn Off computer and system executes normal shutdown procedure. A second or two after shutting down it Restarts. If I press the Power Btn. and hold it down until the system shuts down, power remains off. This occurs using either OS so I suspect something common to both; perhaps the power supply? Any suggestions? |

| | Re: Vista Ultimate and XP Pro shutdown and immediately restart Look in the Event Viewer. (Click start, type eventvwr.msc) The error is going to have an entry at each shutdown. You will probably be able to use the Properties of the file mentioned in the error to identify the failing device (that causes this 'restart or error') -- Please use the Communities guidelines when posting. http://www.microsoft.com/wn3/locales...help_en-us.htm Use the "Ratings" feature. It helps the new users. Mark L.

| | RE: Vista Ultimate and XP Pro shutdown and immediately restart Thank you both for replying. I replaced the power supply and system is now shutting down without restarting.
