I can occasionally get win2k to shutdown, if it feels happy. I can't get it to restart or sleep or hibernate properly. I need the sleep function for STR support from my m/board.

Do you have ACPI turned on in the BIOS? Do you have APM turned off? If ACPI doesn't appear in the BIOS or you cannot change it, your system will not properly support hybernate or sleep. Solution is to change the MB.

Its probably a setting either in Windows 2000 or a bios setting that is preventing you from restarting in warm boot mode. As far as the sleep mode not working....the above exlpanations are probably correct. To fix the problem with not being able to restart. Might entail a complete format of the partition that Windows 2000 in residing in. That may be worth the trouble to start completely over just to fix that problem.
Summary: On a P4-512, running Win 2000 Pro, when I "shutdown" the computer "restarts" instead. Can anyone suggest a solution to get back the proper shutdown? Thanks. ...
