Running an old but reliable HP dc7100.
Installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. Runs fine, no hardware issues at all except needed to install a graphics card to get Aero effects to work & had to change the sound drivers to get the sound working.
However since the original install the restart option doesn't work. When restart is selected either by me in the start menu or when installing updates the computer shuts down ok, the lights on the front of the machine come back on as if it's trying to restart but nothing happens. I have to turn the power off & back on to get it to reboot.
At first I didn't mind this but now it's starting to annoy me!
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is a link to the specs;
Link Removed due to 404 Error
It's the small form factor/SFF model
Thanks in advance.
