it is one of those built-in mainboard, PCChips M789, 256 DDR, 40Gb/ WinXP SP2, i came across the same spec before but this one act differrence.

If the M-board has the capability there is a setting in device manager (when you get there, go up to view and check "show hidden devices") for turning that feature on and off. I can't remember the name of the device right off the top of my head, but it will usually be the only one with a red mark next to it (if your running XP). Right click and select enable.

My system kept hanging & wouldn't shutdown erratically. Just the other day I figured out this was my issue:

After applying it, so far so good. Hope that helps ...
