I have a tip regarding When I choose "Shut Down" from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down:

If you have a motherboard that supports ACPI, try disabling the 'PME Event Wakeup' setting in the Power Management section of the BIOS. It worked for me (Gigabyte GA-7ZXR with AMI BIOS)

Try disabling RI RESUME in your BIOS. It's under Power Management if you have AWARD bios. This worked for me.

Thank you so much! I installed a USB2+FireWire combo PCI Card, since then it auto-booted by itself >.< Disabling PME Event Wake Up worked great =D

SOLUTION ON SHUTDOWN PROBLEMS I had the same experience on my friends' ibm 2196-31Q running WinXP which was win98SE before, the computer always restart on shut down. I have tried every advice from various forums regarding this type of problem. Some worked for a short period of time, like unchecking the checkbox on task scheduler (start>>run>>type msconfig>>service tab>>uncheck task scheduler) and restoring default on CMOS(presing del,ins and f1, this depend on what you should press, you can see this right after you press the power button to enter setup, bootup then selecting restore defaults and save the settings) but most did'nt. What I would like to add is on how I solved this problem totally, I have noticed that when you're computer shutdown it save settings as it shows in the screen when shutting down, this may refer to small issues of what you're computer remembers before turning off, like the processes running and what are connected to the CPU, if something is different when you turn on the computer, it reconises a wrong pattern according to what it remembers and thus affecting the system, this was the issue on mine. I have discovered that when using my computer while connected to the internet and tried to shut down, it did shutdown completely or just having the telephone line connected, Btw, i use dial up in connecting. Another is it remembers what was connected to it(CPU) before it shutdown (mouse, keyboard, monitor, telephone line and speaker), this can also cause abnormal shutdown. In conclusion, don't change anything before you turn on or off the computer. This worked for this type of computer, not sure to work on others.

Same here after installing an new SATA Harddisk the PC did not shutdown but restarted. I was told to look for wake-up settings in the bios. "Wake-up on PME event" was the only one enabled. Disable did the trick.

This is only accually a problem if you have a decent power supply. For the PME Event to even happen the +5 rail from your power supply must supply more than 1 amp else you won't even have this problem. This is accually a bug in Windows and I'm supprised Microsoft has not fixed it. I'm also supprised that any black hat hackers haven't used it to make any zombie computers.

Windows XP may experience a problem during startup that causes a Stop error message. Depending on the system configuration, the Stop error message may appear too briefly to record the error information. To gather important information about the Stop error message and to verify the cause, follow these steps: 1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery. 3. Clear the Automatically restart check box under System failure, and then click OK. The error message should remain on the screen so that you can record the error information. "Stop 0x0000000a(0x00000029,0x00000002,0x00000000,0x80466d7b" error message after Windows is already installed Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. When this issue occurs, follow these troubleshooting steps: 1. Remove the Easy CD Creator software. 2. Click Start, click Run, type Regedit in the Open box, and then click OK. 3. Locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Security 4. Remove the Etetnt.mpd file that has a revision date of 1997. 5. Locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services 6. Remove the following files: • Cdr4vsd • Cdralw2k • Cdr4_2k • Cdudf

I have a dual-boot machine with this problem on both Vista and XP. I had Creative Cd on both. I removed it from Vista and updated it on XP. I can't find any of these file references surviving in the Vista registry. Any further ideas???
