3. Press Enter

On a Windows XP computer:

2. Choose Run
3. Type cmd
4. Press Enter

From an open command prompt window, you can type shutdown, and then the option you wish to execute.

Hello gabeymybabey,

If the computer is using Windows XP, do the following to restart the system:
•Click the Start button
•Click Turn Off Computer.
•Cick Restart
The computer will restart after the shutdown process finishes.

STEP: Run the Preboot System Assessment (PSA)
Additional Information

1. Ensure that the computer is powered off.
   
2. Press and hold <Fn> and press the power button to power the computer on.
   
3. Release both buttons. The PSA diagnostics sequence begins.
   
4. Make note of any PSA beep codes or PSA error codes
   

Check for PSA Error codes on support.dell.com.

If all Test Passed. Then Perform Dell Factory restore or OSRI.

The Laptop is not responding to the Software request sent to the BIOS or one is not getting there.
Best Solution is to make sure all of your Microsoft Updates are performed. Not just the Critical ones... but all that apply. You may see several hardware driver updates.

This will help the Software and Hardware to communicate with each other...

This problem cannot be solved by anyone but a trained technician.

It will liklely requires one of the following repairs

1) new motherboard
2) new CPU
3) New CPU fan
4) new ATX power supply


This is my honest opinion after 100+ PM repairs personally.

best of luck,

If your computer constantly restarts while you are using it, or if you are trying to shut down the computer after it has stopped unexpectedly, click to clear the Automatically restart check box. If you clear this check box, you receive an error message when the computer stops responding. This error message may describe the cause of the problem. You can also review the system log in Event Viewer to view the critical stop error that occurs when the computer restarts.

1. Click the Start button, right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
2. Under System Failure, view the Automatically restart check box. If the Automatically restart check box is selected, Windows automatically restarts if the computer stops unexpectedly.

Thanks & Regards

Rule of thumb test ram out first usally that is the cause what does the code say on the blue screen

Hi, I had the same problem, for a workaround this is what I did. I made a new shutdown shortcut. Now when I click on it the pc shutsdown fine. I actually put mine on the taskbar. Here's how I did it...

XP Users:
1. Right click the Desktop and select New /Shortcut.
2. A screen will appear asking you for a Command Line. Here's what you put in that box:
For Shutdown:
Shutdown -s -t 0
For Restart:
Shutdown -r -t 0
For Log Off:
Shutdown -l -t 0

After you've decided which of the above options to use, click the Next button and give the shortcut an appropriate name.
Final Notes:
1. Now that you have the nifty little shutdown shortcut on your desktop, you may want to drag it to your taskbar for easier access (and less chance of accidental clickage).
2. I didn't like the nasty looking icon that XP gave my shortcut (it was too Win3.1 for my taste), so I changed it.

If this helps you plz rate this 'fixya'. If not leave a comment & I'll be happy to try to help you further. Thank you kindly.

have you checked that acpi is enabled in the bios and also look in control panel, then power options and check the shutdown options are correct and not set at restart.
