    I had that problem on 2 older PCs here. Windows Update fixed one of them, but the other still rebooted everytime I said shutdown. In the end it was fixed by disabling hibernation or APM completely - can't remember which, sorry! :(

    I had a similar problem with my old machine. I don't know if the MS links above address this solution as I haven't looked at them, but disabling "Wake on LAN" features in my system BIOS and Windows sorted it out.

    turns out it was because of easy cd creator
    just uninstalled it and that sorted it.
