Thanks to Jerry, Jimmy, Mike, Gerald and Doug for sending help.
The blue screen and message in item 1. is new.
1.Holding power button for 5 seconds while Win2000 running brings a blue
screen with message
"Driver-Power-State-Failure". Then power shuts down but doesn't fix for
next time.
2.Holding the button for 5 after Win2000 shuts down kills the power but
doesn't fix for next time.
3.Control Panel/Power shows Desk/Home-Office scheme, never turn off
monitor, never turn off hd.
I think that refers to sleep mode only, not shut down.
4.The PC was originally Win98 Plus. Six months ago put in a new, Intel
mobo. Two weeks ago
an IBM 40gig hd and Win2000 Pro o/s. All was well until yesterday.
Thanks again for your help. Please send other suggestions if something
comes to mind.
