Had my P2B-DS system on the bench, trying out some different video cards. (Felt the Voodoo 3 I had in there was cool, but ultimately limiting what I was doing with it. My currently homeless 9700 Pro wouldn't fit on account of its chunky Zalman cooler, so I settled on a more humble Radeon 9200.)
Anyway, it's always bugged me that this machine never shuts itself off on shutdown, and gives a screen that I imagine most XP users have never seen:
I've never been able to figure out what its issue is. Obviously I've played around in the BIOS, but there's not a whole lot there:
I'd been running it pure Win2k for a while, but took the opportunity to switch it up to a 98/2k/XP triple boot. Almost didn't notice at first, but was mildly shocked when I realized Win98 was suddenly able to turn the system off. Win2k and XP still stop at the "safe to power off" screen.
Yeah, it's a pretty low stakes issue, but it's also such a simple one I figure I must be missing something obvious. Any ideas?
