You have a very annoying yet common problem. It is caused
by driver programs you either installed for your hardware
intentionally, or received in a MS update (noncritical.)

You want to determine the last date that things were
definitely normal. Then do a System Restore.

System restore is a reversible, repeatable process in
which your program files are configured as-of a date you
choose. Your settings and data files do not change.

Start
Help/Support
Type in: System Restore Wizard
If you change your mind, one click undoes the restore.

Hi,

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.

This edit automatically ends tasks and timeouts that prevent programs from
shutting down and clears the Paging File on Exit.

You have something that is crashing - and the system's 'automatically
restart' is cutting in. Turn this off: in Control Panel - System -
Advanced, click Settings in the Startup and Recovery section. There
uncheck 'automatically restart'. You can also usefully change the
'write debugging information' to (none) unless you are actively needing
a dump for debugging something, or to 'minidump' if you are getting
errors that you wish to report on to Microsoft. You may now get a Blue
screen failure instead, but at least will get some guidance as to what
is happening, Then Look at the extensive troubleshooter at James
Eshelman's page:
