GLO Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 on one of my new builds of XPpro sp2, when i shut down, it takes me to a screen saying "it is safe to turn off the PC now" I then have to hold the power button down for a few seconds to cut the power. How do i set it to power down completely after shutting windows down???Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_house Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Control panel\power options or its a bios setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLO Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 Thanks,Had a look at Control PAnel/ power options but it wasnt an option.Also checked out the BIOS power section and cant seem to see where to modify that setting? Its an Aopen AX6B motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
