My Win XP Reboots Instead of Shutting Down, Help

Not too resently ago I upgraded my Windows XP Pro from FAT32 to NTFS...cleanly. About three days later my machine wouldn't shut down correctly. Instead, it would act like it was about to turn off, then reboot. If anyone has any ideas to fix this (other than re-format) then I'd like to here them.

If it DOES come down to re-format I think I could live with the problem, but it is slightly annoying.

P.S. My PC is a...
AMD AthlonXP 1700+
256MB DDR PC-2100
Gigabyte GA-7VTXH (+, upgrading this weekend)
eVGA GeForce 2 TI (64MB-DDR)
Western Digital 40GB NTFS
DVD
CD-RW
Zip 100
*If any of this is relevant tell me

I tried upgrading my BIOS and it still does the reboot thing...any other sugestions?

I'm use Nero 5.5
I don't think that's the issue though as it worked fine before I upgraded to NTFS.
P.S. I'm not blaming NTFS, it is just a turning point.

Check out this site, and then come back and tell us your results, Kanaz.
