Windows restarts every time i shut down!

dane3388 · 28 Jul 2010 at 18:17

Anyone else had this issue or have a solution? I shut it down properly but then it starts up again! Here are the specs:

Windows 7 64bit Pro
Asus P6X58D-E
I7 930
ATI 5870 XFX

Thanks

Also i seem to have managed to lose my overclock trying to sort this issue! Is there any way to revert back to it or load it as a profile or something?

Does it fully shut down first? IE Turn off, then turn back on.

If so, Unplug your keyboard and mouse, They may be turning it back on.

it does turn fully off then back on. I believe i have disabled the keyboard and mouse from being able to turn it back on...

:S that's really weird. I would think it's the mobo doing something weird. have you tried resetting the cmos or leaving the battery out for a few minutes?

I have the latest bios and am now under the impression that it is either a hidden setting somewhere that is conflicting with the bios settings or an issue with the case... Do you think either of these are plausable?

1.
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

2.
Click the Advanced tab.

3.
Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.

4.
Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.

5.
Restart your computer for the settings to take effect.

I dont know how this will differ on windowns 7 because this is from xp but I can only guess the same settings are somewhere within windows 7.

EDIT!

I just found this on microsoft website.

Thanks that didn't work though. I am sending back the bundle to OC tomorrow for them to sort it out.
