Hello,
I recently built my own computer. So I noticed about the 2nd day I built it that I switched it off, like not to sleep actually switching it off and about 3 minutes later it would boot back up! It sometimes does this but then it stopped. But I switched it off LAST NIGHT, so I DID NOT put this to sleep and at 7:30 AM It booted back up! For the last time, I did not sleep the computer I hit SHUT DOWN.

Thanks, I hope you can help me :)
Tom.

Are you getting any error messages when this happens? Sometimes this indicates there is a problem. To get Windows to shut down without rebooting you can try one or both of the following:
Change an option in System Properties:
1) Click on Start
2) Type sysdm.cpl in the search dialog box and press Enter
3) Click on the Advanced tab
4) Click on Settings under Startup and Recovery
5) If there is a check beside Automatically Restart then click to remove it.
6) Click on OK to close Startup and Recovery
7) Click on OK to close System Properties
8) Reboot the computer
9) Shut down the computer to test to see whether or not this helps.

Another possible solution involves editing the registry: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/window...
Only use the second option if you are comfortable with editing the registry. I suggest you make a backup (export) copy of the registry before making any changes.
