Computer doesn't shut down -Ethernet
I am working on a friend's computer. Just installed Windows 7 but when I shut it down, the OS shuts down but the ethernet connection won't let it shut down completely. It did the same thing under XP before upgrading.
This case is an older high-end Thermaltake X with vertical Thermaltake light on the front. When shutting down of OS completes, the light beings to flash rapidly. If I disconnect the ethernet DSL cable it does turn off completely. I cannot find any "wake on LAN' setting in the BIOS. (Maybe I did but it is disabled.)
Here is what we have:
Motherboard: Abit. AG8 (Intel Grantsdale-ICH6R)
BIOS: Brand: Phoenix Technologies, LTD
Version 6.00 PG
Date 08/20/2004
MS Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
Installation Date: 19 February 2010, 12:52
Has anyone run into this problem and what is the solution?
