Recently I encountered a problem when installing the Chinese version of Windows XP. He installed Windows XP system very smoothly, but the installation could not be shut down properly. What should I do if this happens?
computer configuration is: K6-2 266MHz @ 300MHz, MVP3 (AT plate) motherboard, 160 MB SDRAM (PC100), FUJITSU 10G hard disk, CMI-8330 ISA Interface card, video card is SIS6326, AT power.
over to see the original operation after the shutdown, not display "now safe to shut down" (if it is ATX motherboard ATX power supply plus, of course, is the automatic shutdown), but the re-start, only manually Forced shutdown.
situation actually is not normal shutdown in windows98SE is a very common situation. Common reasons are:
1. for the operating system and the motherboard ACPI or APM support is not perfect. Various hardware other than
2. motherboard supports ACPI or not perfect for APM. BUG
3. hardware drivers.
4. motherboard BIOS needs to be improved.
5. system for rapid shutdown support is not good enough (only windows98 terms). Before
6 off some memory-resident program shows exit and shutdown process and system conflicts.
7 virus.
8 failure disk subsystem, such as IDE driver and system compatibility is not good enough.
course there are many other reasons, I can not attempting to repeat.
because a friend is a new installation of the operating system, in addition to the sound card drivers (other operating systems due to hardware comes with drivers), yet various applications installed. Therefore, the author focused on the problem of insufficient support for power management in the motherboard and operating system. Adhering to the principle of easy and difficult, first enter the CMOS settings interface of the motherboard, in the power management, PM control by APM is turned off, after booting into the system, then shut down, the computer still restarts.
restart windowsXP, in order to enter the power management control panel, click on the "sleep" menu, then Enable Hibernation is not selected, then check the "Enable Hibernation", may yet bear fruit.
re-enter in the Power Options control panel, click on the "Advanced Power Management" sub-page, the system displays: The machine supports Advanced Power Management (APM), the APM can reduce the power consumption of the system. At this time, "Enable Advanced Power Management Support" is selected. Without hesitation, I will remove the "Enable Advanced Power Management Support". It will cost more power, and it will not shut down properly. The next step is of course shutdown, OK, "There can be safe shutdown now" a few words came out, haha, quite kind.
in this case is because the system supports advanced power management is not good enough caused by the failure to eliminate or upgrade the BIOS, but this board is age-old, may have been not find an updated BIOS, so never Try, for ATX motherboards, it is recommended to still enable advanced power management, otherwise there may be trouble.
