Thanks. Motherboard has the latest BIOS from 2008 and wrote for
support to manufacturer (Fujitsu-Siemens). The answer is what I
expect:
"we are sorry, but probably problem is because of the OS and changed CPU.
None of them are supported. Supported OS is:
Windows Vista and supported CPUs are:
38006431 CPU INTEL PDC E2140 / 775
38006431 CPU INTEL PDC E2140 / 775
38009419 CPU INTEL PDC E2160 775 45W"
Nice. So no help from manufacturer as I am using not supported CPU and
systems. Typical problem of brand name and its support.
I still have no idea why system cannot shutdown with different CPU.
Bye,
