Windows XP >> my pc shuts down
Hello, I've just started to have a similar problem....
When I try to perform disc cleanup, my computer shuts down and restarts
instead.
Disc cleanup has worked OK in the past.
I found the following error message.......
"AMLI:ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO port address
(0xcfc), which lies in the 0xcf8-0xcff protected address range. This could
lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical
assistance."

Follow-up..... I decided to try disc cleanup one more time this morning (I'm
stubborn that way), and lo and behold, a miracle occurred overnight during
the 7 or 8 hours that my computer was shut off..... The disc cleanup worked
as it should!!! (despite 3 failures last night)... Didn't do anything except
have the computer shut off and calling my computer repair guy this morning
(he can't look at it till next week, .... now not needed)
