Shutdown = Restart ???????

Did you change any hardware recently? I had this problem when I installed a new sound card

I had the same problem when I changed my sound card.. But when I re installed the OS again..there was no problem like that....

it can be also due to VIRUS.
so better scan ur pc.

this can mererly be due to any system file u have recently changed or updated. this occurs when u try to install any update or any driver which changes the system components. try to perform a SFC(System File Checker) utility it might solve ur problem.

correct it ma surely help.

My computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Startup and Recovery -> Settings -> remove tick mark from automatically restart

Tried ur method batista ................. problem is still not resolved

the same thing happened to my friend's lappy. He installed a batty old copy of mandriva that his PC seller gave him, and the problem stopped once he shut down from mandy. This was 2 months back.

huh I have posted same prob....

I reinstalled xp but on 1st shut down it restarted so there is not at all any question of trojan and viruses.

Few days back I mounted sound card on pci slot as had a prob for onboard .
So wht should I do ?

sometimes i use ubuntu or slax live cd....... could this be the problem?????
