system restart on shut down

Specs of the system.

gigabyte GA-8PE667 Ultra, Radeon 9700, P4 2.66, Corsair XMS 2700DDR (512), Chieftec Case, Vantec 470W Stealth PSU..

Here is my probem. When I click start, shut down. The pc does its thing for shutting down. Fans stop, HD stops then like 1-2 secondes later is turns back on.

Hi there
All you need to do is to disable Advanced Powermanagement - disabled then you need to enable it.. and also check the settings for Win2k /Xp in the powersettings in control panel..

Hi, i am actually the guy with the problem, Airmack is jsut my friend who is helping me out.

Andyms18a- I went to where you said, but when i clicked on settings for system startup and restore i found nothing that said "Restart on Errors". There was a option that said on system failure restart, but thats it. I am using win xp pro by the way. Its odd, but when I make it so the power switch has a 4 second delay and i press the switch for 4 seconds, it fully shuts off. So maybe that can help you *shrugs*

Hpro- Where do I disable Advanced Power Management

Any more help is truly appreciated, thank you.

Andy, the actual option was- On System Failure: Automatic Restart, btw. Anyways, I did that, restarted, and I didn't get the blue screen. I guess my computer was not part of the "probably". Any other suggestions? By the way, just to let you know, at the moment I have NOT installed my motherboard drivers or anything. If that could have anything to do with it *shrugs*. Its ironic, for a month I want my comp to work, now when it works, I finally want to shut it off, but I cant.
