PC will not shut down

[Me2Ewe]

I need some intellectual help here.

My computer will not shut down I tried unchecking the 'Automatically
restart' check box, with no results. As soon as I shut it down it just
restarts the same as if I selected restart form the start menu.

Any ideas?

Thanx Bruce

See if anything here helps and good luck:

Disable everything that reads 'Wake up' in the BIOS settings. Also, I have
seen this behavior if you have a CD/DVD in the drive during a shutdown.

Check your BIOS and see if there is anything in there..

PCs restart themselves from a shutdown 99.9% of the time due to a hardware
conflict..If added any,either disconnect or move to another slot,or anything
unplugged or plugged in that should/nt be,recheck all....

I had the same problem after downloading the servicepack 2 and solved it by
