Atuo power down problem on ATX
This is a discussion about Atuo power down problem on ATX in the Windows Hardware category; I just installed Win2k in my system and I love it! But it's doing something I don't like. It's not recognizing that I have an ATX motherboard, and won't auto power down on shutdown. The System is: AMD K6-2 400Mhz Asus P5A (ATX Form factor) 128Mb PC-100 8.

The System is:
AMD K6-2 400Mhz
Asus P5A (ATX Form factor)
128Mb PC-100
8.4Gb ATA/33 HDD
Windows 2000 SP-1
Windows has recognized my system as an AT/AT Compatible system, shouldn't that be ATX?
Thanks for your time, anybody's help is greatly appreciated.

OP
Okay since youasked for a post. No I don't have an nVidia based card, it's a Voodoo3 2000 AGP, like I said a few posts earlier. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'm glad you got the problem sorted out, but I believe someone_nt as it right, the Asus P5A is not on the list of supports ACPI motherboards because it doesn't come back from suspend mode the way it should, so Windows automatically rejects the install of ACPI. He sent a very good work around a couple replies up, and I may use it some time when I reinstall.
