Shutdown Problem

[The Baba]

My buddies machine will not shut down...It just keeps restarting...

I tried TSShutdn Utility, different Shutdown commands, ShutNTdown patch, a
poweroff.vbs file, turned off startup and shutdown WAV files, and disabled
restart on system failure...Nothing's worked so far...

I decided to do a clean install of XP...Same thing...

Could it be a BIOS problem? If so, am I pretty much stuck with it?

It was one of the first places I went for help, and it didn't...Strange
thing though, it just started shutting off...I don't know why, but it's
working fine now...As I said before, welcome to the world of Windows...With
my luck, I'll drop it off tomorrow and it'll revert back to
restarting...I'll just keep my fingers crossed...
