Having trouble rebooting

[inveterate]

The system is quite stable,, however it won't reboot all the way. It'd get out of windows then not boot back up. Is this sign of instability or voltage issues..??

If it hangs up during the windows shut-down process, it's most likely a software related problem in windows.

If it hangs up on the bios boot screen or before it gets there, it could be a stability problem.

If it does it consistently, each time you reboot, try a few different things - lower ram speed/timings, lower cpu speed, higher voltages for cpu/ram.

Instead of having settings set to "auto" (like for ram timings, multipliers, etc), set them manually so it doesn't have to re-detect them every time the system boots.

It's a good idea to disable all of the on-board stuff that you don't use - for example, In the bios, I always disable the on-board game port, com ports, parallel port, midi port, floppy drive controller, and hard drive controllers that I don't use.

Finally, just go through all of the bios settings and make sure they're set optimally for your setup. The manual does a good job of explaining most of them, but you may have to search on the 'net for others that aren't very well explained.

I've tried disabling as many things as possible already, but it still not working correctly

i know this is an old thread, but I am having the same exact problem. reboots from windows don't come up. It shuts down fine but it won't come back on. Not even the bios. I have to manually shut it down and then turn it back on. AFter several attemps to fix this, my windows instal became corrupted. Windows said it could not find some kind of file and needed to be repaired. I reformatted and reinstalled no problems. I reinstalled all new drivers, but only shut down the computer comletely and then turn it back on instead of hitting restart everytime. flashed new bios, everything is good.

Did you ever find out what was the problem inverterate?
