PC reboots instead of shutting down, no software problem. What could be the cause?
- by DaVinci
Hi, first of all: I'm not sure if superuser is the right site for my question and google didn't help.
I have a pc here that prefers rebooting to shuting down. Everytime I try to shut the pc down it reboots, however it is possible to turn the pc off by pressing the power button. The problem is not windows-specific, the Ubuntu LiveCD does exactly the same that's why I said that it is no software problem. I checked wake on LAN, it is disabled and I also resetted the BIOS settings to factory default. That might not mean that it can't be a BIOS problem but I don't know what else to try here. I did not check any hardware yet but nothing exploded so far.
I don't know what could have caused this behaviour as it is not my PC.
The Mainboard is a ASUS P5Q-E P45.
