Hello,

We're gonna try something but you have to follow directions carefully or you could risk ruining your installation of Windows.

EDIT:
As suggested by Rabmac you should backup your registry prior to following these steps. I have provided a guide to doing this below. This will allow you to recover should you accidentally change the wrong value or delete a key or any other potential mistake.

■ Download the ERUNT zipped file here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/erunt/dl/97/
■ Extract the files to your Desktop and launch "ERUNT.EXE"
■ Check both System registry and Current user registry, choose a location you will remember for your back up and click OK

END EDIT


We're going to change a registry key called "PowerdownAfterShutdown."

Follow these steps *carefully*

■ Click Start and type regedit and press enter.
■ Expand the following keys (folders): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows NT -> CurrentVersion
■ Now locate the key (folder) called "Winlogon" and click it so it is selected.
■ On the right side of the screen you will see a list of Values.
■ Find the value called "PowerdownAfterShutdown" and doubleclick it. If this number is 0, change it to 1. if it is 1, change it to 0.
■ Close Regedit. Don't touch anything else in there.

I'm confused a bit by what you said.

Are you saying after you initiate shutdown... your computer turns off then comes back on by itself? OR ... are you saying it goes through the shutdown procedure but stays on or hangs?

Before following this nice piece of advice you may want to download ERUNT and backup your registry.

Good advice. I've modified my original post with this information.
