Hello,
My 64 Bit HP p6710f desktop running Windows Home Premium will not (now) restart using the "Start - Shut down - Restart" sequence. If I turn the machine off and let it "cool down" awhile, it will successfully boot again, and it runs correctly as long as I do not either attempt to Restart it. The other factor is that if I shut it down normally it will not complete a boot again for 5-10 minutes, but then it starts and operates as it should. This all started after about 9 months of good operation after purchasing it new.
