Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down'

I have a similar question about When I choose "Shut Down" from the Start Menu, my
computer restarts instead of shutting down.
When I choose "Restart" the computer doesn't restart but it shuts down instead, but
not completely though, the running light stays on but the monitor light goes into
standby, i.e. switches from green to yellow. The only way to continue is to hit the
reset button. I tried restarting from Safe Mode with the same results. Any help?

You could try this, In Registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon,
add or change the value named PowerdownAfterShutdown, changing its current data of
0 to 1. Haven't done it but may work. Back up your registry first so you can restore
if you do something wrong.
