XP Pro auto restarts on shutdown

December 16, 2007

Recently purchased a new desk top, with XP Pro... machine auto restarts a few

seconds after I shut it down. I have unchecked the automatically restart in

start and recovery section of advanced system settings, but no change. Any

ideas please.

Hi, Hockleyman.

This question used to come up a lot in the XP newsgroups (not necessarily

64-bit; you DO realize that you've posted into a newsgroup dedicated to

64-bit Windows, right?), but I haven't seen it in a while. Try this website

for lots of ideas and possible solutions:
