Combination of both.
Disable all power management in BIOS, and find and delete the file called "dosstart.bat". |

If this is 98SE, go get the shutdown patch from MS.

Thanks for the help! I went an looked again and found out there are a couple of causes, my problem turn out to be IRQ. MS sugguested disabling IRQ Steering, restarting and trying shutdown, did and got the normal shutdown screen. went in to the BIOS and changed it to give video card own IRQ and everything is fine. Thanks again for you replies! until the next crash peace
