Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' Wednesday, November 24, 2010 at 6:41 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by mkhcpa (1 messages posted) Hello: Your problem could be the result of something like a program or process hanging the computer when it shuts down or it could be the result of something like a modem plugged into the motherboard causing the computer to restart through a PCI bus wake process. To check for software problems go to the Control Plan then Administrator Tools then Event Viewer. Check under system and applications for errors that would cause the computer to restart. To prevent hardware plugged into the motherboard from restarting the computer go into the BIOS then under the power management menu look for Wake on PCI PME and disable or stayoff. To get this setting to work you may have to assign power management to the BIOS. If this setting exist it will be under the Power Management menu.  Written in response to: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down' (Michael: Friday, February 28, 2003 at 5:09 am) There are presently no replies to this message.
