P4 machine restarts with alt+ctl+bkspace and other things

aggietim

Whenever X is killed with alt+ctl+bksp my machine turns off :cry:

. The
only time I have the fluke is when X is killed. Does anyone know if any werid signals are sent when X is killed?

I noticed a hotkey setting in my bios... I thaught I have fully disabled it though.

Machine:
P4 2.4Ghz
Soyo Dragon Lite Mobo
SiS chipset
GForce2

I am under the assumption that my whole problems stem from my motherboard. But, I wanted to see if anyone else if having this problem.

Thanks all!

I have an SIS chipset in an ECS mb and have had the same problem with Gentoo and RH 7.3. Seems to be hardware. Really very annoying.

I think we found a solution for your problem.. my friend is busy installing gentoo on his ECS/Athlon/SIS system which happens to do the exact same thing as your systems... ctrl + alt + backspace rudely turn's the computer off. You will probably find a setting in your bios that will diseble this feature. (yes it is a feature) :S

anyway good luck

Is it under Power Management as "Hot Key Function As"?

The manual says this "Enables you to set the power button function in DOS." I wish they were more detailed about this. Anyway, I disabled this to see how it works.

I too have this problem. I've got an ECS K7S5A motherboard and have set "Enables you to set the power button function in DOS" to Disable.

That fix worked for me too. Loki definately got it.
