Computer Restart

[DanMc07]

Every time I turn off my computer, it seems to turn its self back on by its self... Like it will turn off for say 10 seconds and then just boot up randomly? :S
The only work around is that I have to turn the plug socket off and back on again.. Any ideas whats causing this??

I used to have exactly the same problem myself. Sometimes the computer would be off for as long as 30 seconds before rebooting itself. Very annoying.

There is some help here -

I had a big problem about two weeks ago meaning I had to reformat, but when I did the problem stopped. It is a real pain though.

Wake-on-lan possibly?

Any of this on in the BIOS...

• Power On By RTC Alarm;
• Power on External Modems including or Wake On LAN (WOL);
• Power On PCI Device;
• Power On By PS/2 Keyboard;
• & Power On By PS/2 Mouse.

If not, could be something wrong with mobo & or PSU
