Windows XP does not work properly off the solution

Friend Lu recently 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? Of course, I should take it.

My friend's computer configuration is: K6-2 266MHz @300MHz, MVP3 (AT board) motherboard, 160 MB SDRAM (PC100), FUJITSU 10G hard drive, CMI-8330 ISA interface sound card, graphics card is SIS6326, AT power supply.

In the past, after the shutdown operation was performed, it was not displayed "It can be safely shut down now" (if it is ATX motherboard plus ATX power, of course, it is automatically shut down), but restarted, only Can manually force shutdown.

In fact, the shutdown is not normal in win

dows98SE is a very common situation. Common reasons are:

1. The operating system and motherboard support for ACPI or APM is not perfect.

2. The hardware outside the motherboard is not perfect for ACPI or APM support.

3. The bug of the hardware driver.

4. The BIOS of the motherboard needs to be improved.

5. The system is not good enough for fast shutdown support (only for windows98).

6 There are some resident memory programs that exit before shutdown and conflict with the system shutdown process.

7 viruses.

8 Disk subsystem failures, such as IDE driver and system compatibility is not good enough.

Of course there are many other reasons, and I can't go into details here.

Because the friend is a newly installed operating system, in addition to the sound card driver (other hardware is driven by the operating system), various applications have not been installed. Therefore, the author focused on the problem of insufficient support for power management in the motherboard and operating system. After grasping the principles from easy to difficult, first of all into the motherboard's CMOS settings interface, power management in the PM control by APM shut down, boot into the system, and then shut down the computer still restart.

Then start windowsXP, enter the power management of the control panel, click “hibernate> menu, then enable hibernation is unchecked, and tick ““ enable hibernation”, but it still fails.

Re-enter the power options in the control panel, click on the "Advanced Power Management" sub-page, the system displays: This machine supports Advanced Power Management (APM), using APM can reduce the system's power loss. At this time, "Enable advanced power management support" is selected. Do not hesitate to remove "Enable advanced power management support", more power consumption is not enough, can not shut down properly, more awkward. The next step is of course shutdown, OK, & ldquo; now safely shut down & rdquo; a few words came out, haha, quite kind.

This example is due to the system's lack of advanced power management support, or can be eliminated by upgrading the BIOS, but this motherboard is a long time, may not find the updated BIOS, so never Try, for ATX motherboards, it is recommended to still enable advanced power management, otherwise there may be trouble.
