My Windows has been restarting when I choose to shutdown for the longest time
now. I have tried everything i can think of. I cant even figure out what is
causing the reboot because even with the "automatic reboot" box checked off
its still rebooting. I never did have Roxie Easy CD Creator installed on my
pc. and I flashed my BIOS with the latest version. I'm all out of
ideas...does anyone know anything else i havent tried. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Will for the links, they are very informative but i tried everything
and still didnt work. I finally got fed up and formatted my comp. installed
XP again and without installing any drivers or programs, just windows xp, i
tried shuting down and yet still it reboot its self. it has to be the
motherboard. i checked the MB providers site and couldnt find anything. I
think its time to buy a new one...
