Shutdown computer

I have a computer which softoff doesnt want to work on, I dont know if it is just my settings or if I am just doing something drastically wrong?

Softoff is turned on in the bios. The motherboard is a Soltek SL75-DRV4

After windows98 shutdown where it would normally turnoff a single click is made and a prompt is displayed, this is where the computer hangs.

To test if it was windows or not I installed Red Hat and the same problem occurs when it shuts down.

I have replaced the original power supply and the motherboard(same model).

There is no network card in the computer.

If any body has heard of a similiar problem to this before or has a solution please post.

see my thread about shutting down 98. Not sure what's happening in Linux tho... maybe try turning the "Softoff" option off?

yeh thanx dude, read it and doesnt seem to be the same prob, the bios options dont seem to make a difference... guess its just a ghost in the machine
