I have an old HP Pavilion 4563Z with 98SE.
I have re-installed the operating system. I did not have the HP disks. I used a Microsoft 98SE disk. I re-installed the proper drivers. I also have loaded the Microsoft updates including the ones relating to shutdown issues. The computer works fine except sometimes at shutdown.
When I shutdown sometimes it seems to loop back on as if you clicked the re-start button. This is not every time, but most times.
Then I have found if I actually do click to restart after this has happened and let it re-boot, when I hit Shut Off , it will shut off properly every time. I have re-loaded 3 times. I even used a different but know to good hard drive with the same results.
Is this something in the BIOS or some other setting that I am not aware of.
BTW I have 0 wrote the hard drive, f disked and deleted from there, tried different methods to make sure the hard drive was absolutely clean prior.
Thanks,
