Restart Problems

When I try to restart the PC (Dimension 8100) from windows, the screen goes blank and the machine freezes. Although, I am able to restart the computewr when I try it in 'safe mode'. If anyone can help I would be grateful.

    My 8100 has done the same thing several times including this morning. I just wanted to make sure you knew that you can turn the PC off by depressing and holding the on/off button on the front of your PC. You need to hold the button in for more that 4 seconds. Then pres the on/off button again and it should come up. It may go through the disk check due to the way it was shut down.

    @nthony,

    Does your computer freeze when you do a normal shutdown? Does if freeze when you do a normal startup (from an off state)? Or does this only occur when doing a Windows restart?

    Just from a windows restart. And no, I dont have any other problems. Performance-wise the system is great too, I can hit 57fps in the quake 3 demo127 (High Quality) at 1600x1200!!! Its just really annoying that I cant restart my PC from windows. Thanks.
