FWIW, it does shutdown and power off correctly. 8-)

It's a stationary Dell SFF.
Power options are set to Always on-scheme. Subsettings as follows: Turn off
monitor is set to 15min, Turn off harddisks is set to Never and dito System
standby. Hibernation checkbox is unchecked.
This is a workgroup computer (only one in this particular group) that I
recently installed XP on after having had Kubuntu on it. Basically this means
it's never seen our windows-domain, and thus no GPO's have been inherited.
We do have an energy star power savings-gpo (EZ GPO that you linked to below)
set on the domain though, but I don't see it being inherited to a *workgroup*
computer. I am correct in believing this not ever happening, right?

Is this a laptop Sorin? What do you have the energy power saving settings set
to? Turn them all off. You didn't install EZPro and forget about it did you?

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with a WinXP-machine in a workgroup that always shuts down
(or goes into some kind of standby mode) when I choose restart. I've tried
looking through the bios settings but can't find anything relevant there.
Google is inconclusive on this, as more ppl have problems with the machine
rebooting when they chose a shutdown; my problem is the other way around.
Any ideas on this?
TIA.
