Using Mandrake 10.1 on an older model Dell XPS 700.
Installed great, starting to get to know Linux but found a troubling issue....
When trying to shutdown, the machine will stay on, so I hold the power button in for approx. 5 seconds and machine turns off. A few MINUTES later, the machine turns itself back on.
The machine has Windows XP Pro on another partition and if I switch over to Windows and shutdown, the machine will turn off and stay off.
Help.
p.s. I'm VERY NEW to Linux so please be "gentle".
Regards,
