| | RE: My computer restarts after I shut it down 1. Have to had a look in your Power options? 2. Nothing in Task Scheduler to kick it back on?

| | RE: My computer restarts after I shut it down Hi HGee, How do you connect your machine to the Internet? Disconnect completely (if you have the network icon displayed in the system tray area on the right-hand side of the task bar, it should have a red cross on it when disconnected). Once you have done that, try shutting your machine down again. If it stays shut down, then you have found the cause of your problem. To solve this, you will need to alter some settings in your BIOS - specifically you are looking for the following options: wake on mouse/keyboard and wake on lan (WOL). I suspect that it is the latter setting that you are looking for, and you need to set this to DISABLED. Check your manual for instructions on accessing the BIOS in your machine.
