By chance do you have Roxio CD burner software (version 4 or 5 ) installed? There are known bugs with this software and W2K that produce the shutdown problem you are having. Inspite of Roxio's comments on their web-site, generally the solution seems to be to remove the Roxio software and replace it with something like Nero etc. which does not conflict with W2K?
