K7sem V 1 Wont Shut Off

[simplesolution]

Ive Already Narrowed This Down To One Of Two Possibilities.either A Power Supply Issue Or Mobo. Acpi Is Enabled In Bios ,problem Is No Matter How I Choose To Shut Down Windows It Logs Off And Says Windows Is Shutting Down You Can Still See The Mouse Pointer But No Response To Any Command You Can Here Resources Shutting Down Hdd Shuts Off, Fan On Cpu Runs A Bit Faster But Still The Screen Says Windows Is Shutting Down .no Response To Ctrl Alt Del Either ,nor Will The Mouse Pointer Move All I Can Do Is Unplug The Unit .now For The History This A 1ghz Duron W 256 Ram And 10 Gig Fujitsu Hdd With A Clean Install Of Xp (done Twice To See If That Would Resolve The Problem) With Same Results.i Had A Case Come In On Trade And The Mobo Was A Spare Thought I Could Make A Nice Pc For Someone To Purchase.now I Want To Pick Your Brains As Well .after All There Is An Answer Out There And I Hope One Of You Has Had This Problem Before.I ALSO SHOULD MENTION THAT AS SOON AS I PLUG IN THE COMPUTER IT COMES ON THIS SHOULD HIT ME BUT IT HASNT YET .

I would check the options in the bios.

May be your board and power supply don't support auto shutdown.

I think your missing something in BIOS settings.In power management,after power failure you should choose "stay off"

Check power management in your Bios.

I Went To The Link The Elder Geek And May Find A Resolution With The Hal .since This Is A Clean Install I Am Not Afraid To Reinstall Again .acpi Is Enabled In Bios No Option For Staying Off After Power Failure But I Do Beleive Now Im On The Right Track Again. Ill Let You Know Soon If This Works And Thanks For All The Great Support.

Go to device manager and Choose View then show hidden devices.
Look for something called ntpower management or something like that.
See if it has a red X on it.
That would mean its disabled. Right click and enable it
