There is a registry setting called Powerdown on shutdown or something like that...Can't remember the exact value but I did on my friends PC who has the same problem...Quote:

The said could be said about your "sentence".
ACPI = Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. An Operating System (OS) that supports this interface can receive computer hardware events such as the power and reset buttons, if the motherboard also supports it.
When you click the power button, windows will do a quick shut down.
Thanks for the details...I understand it now...Quote:

The problme was the windows didn't shutdown when I press Start->Shutdown and I have to hit the Power button...I thought this is going to crash my HDD so I quit playing games I like but I think I have an option now...
