PC Reboot

[Roger Troughton]

Can anyone tell me why my PC automatically reboots after I
have performed shut down? The PC appears to shut down
normally then about 15min later it automatically brings
itself back on.

A couple of things here...

1) You could have Wake-On-LAN turned on. This is a feature
that some network cards have to allow the machine to be
turned on when traffic is sent to the machine. If you
disable this it should stop it from rebooting.

2) You could have APM or advanced power management turned
on. This can cause problems for the machine if the BIOS of
the machine doesn't support the features. Go into your
control panel and into 'Power Management' and disable APM.

Hope it helps.
