PC Reboots when shutting down
Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2010 9:25 am
Hi All,
I have installed LinuxMint8 on my pc (single os) and have a problem in that when I shut the machine down it goes through the whole shutdown cycle fine and then promptly restarts.
The only way I can avoid this happening is to keep the start button pressed for about 6 seconds during the restart cycle which forces the machine to shut down. I don't really like doing this as with the best will in the world there is always some hdd activity and I don't want to trash my disk.
Would appreciate any help on this one
Thanks in advance
