When I select shut down from the OS, the computer reboots instead. It's an Abit motherboard, Windows 2000 pro machine. What's going on? Where do I go to fix this?

Control Panel/System/Advanced/Startup and Recovery. clear automatic reboot box. investigage event viewer and performance logs for more clues. did it ever work. what changed.

I have tried turning off the automatic reboot already. That seems to have no affect.
Event viewer shows no worries. Thanks though. :-)

You need to disable the "PME wake up even" in the "power management" in the BIOS setup.

Went into BIOS, Power mangagement. I did not find a PME Wake up, but I did find a Wake up by PCI card, which was already disabled. The only thing enabled in that screen was ACPI. Thanks though
