doesnt close only restarts

[Stefman]

So, i have formated my pc three times in a row and i have this problem: i shut it down but doesn't shuts down it restarts over and over again. i formated again and didn't put any softw but after a while it just does it again. I don't know for sure if the problem is not from software but please if anyone has the same problem let me know because i have reached my limits

You have to go into the bios setup on your motherboard.

Go to the power management options, and you have to turn off (disable) anything that says 'wake on', like 'wake on lan', or 'wake on pme' or 'wake on ring'.

That's what usually causes that

hehe funny i found this topic. I'm having the same problem. It started about a week in a half ago. We got a new wireless Linsys hub. I'm not using the wireless for my system, but since we put it in my rig won't stay off. It started the night we switched hubs. I turn it off, it turns it self back on 10sec later, or right away. I haven't gotten around to looking at the bois, but reading this topic i'm going to look at it tonight. I was also wondering about the "wake on" thing. Just haven't had time to check it out. I've been turing the system off, them when off flip the power supply switch off, then flip it back in the on position a few sec later and it stays off.
