re: Question about When I choose Shut Down the computer restarts instead Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 5:54 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by b.boognish (8 messages posted) I know this thread is old, but the problem is still valid... Try going in to your bios and clicking the "load fail safe defaults" tab. I had exact same problem on a fresh install. the failsafe defaults thing worked for me. All I had previously changed in my bios was the boot order. I made the HDD boot first. for some reason this was the problem. Now I have to wait for it to check the floppy drive before booting, but at least it will shut off instead of just rebooting when I tell it to shut off.
