Hi

Sometimes this points to an incorrect wiring problem on the MoBo power block, where you have the Power and Reset wires connected. Make sure you don't have anything crossed in there first.

Go into your motherboard BIOS, and check the Power Management settings. More specifically, check that the "Power On after Failure" (or something similar) is OFF, and that your wakeup events (such as RTC, WOL, etc.) are all turned off.

The easiest way to confirm is to instruct the BIOS to load either Optimal or Failsafe defaults.

If after all of this, you still have a problem, then there may very well be faulty wiring, or the motherboard itself is "bad". Possibly the power supply is shorting in some fashion as is incorrectly sending the "power up" signal.

Ok, now I understand why my initial advice failed. Perhaps I should have been more specific - my apologies.

Do not change any other settings other than those I specify here.
  1. Shutdown your computer (if you want to force a shutdown, hold down the power button until the hardware shutsdown)
  2. Turn it on again, and during POST before Windows boots, press the DEL key (some computer BIOS programs require that you press F2 instead).
  3. When in the BIOS, locate the Power Management settings.
  4. Make sure that all WakeUp events such as RTC, WOL, etc. (as I mentioned earlier) are turned off.
  5. "Save and Exit" the BIOS
  6. Allow Windows to boot
  7. Use the correct Shutdown procedure. If all is well, the computer should shutdown correctly.
If not, then enter the BIOS again as I describe above in steps 1 & 2. Find the command to "Load Optimal" settings, then "Save and Exit" again. If the computer again fails to shutdown normally, try using the BIOS "Failsafe" defaults.

If it STILL reboots when you ask it to shutdown, then I suggest you call in your warrantly and have the the motherboard replaced.
