Computer Restarts After Shutdown

[Boothlock]

Right, so my computer which is a decent gaming rig with an Asus P8-Z77 and an i7-3770K, but the problem is every time I Click 'Shut Down' within Windows, the PC shuts down but within a few seconds th PC restarts returning me to my Windows OS. If I hard shut down then this does not happen. Any thoughts???

i had the problem with win 7 now using win8 and it hasn't happened since the the new OS install.

i also had problems  standby and hibernating it. i think its something to do with how windows tells your computer to shutdown

Is your windows up to date? Try installing a service pack see if that works?

Try updating your windows or using different version of windows

My windows is up to date latest service pack but it has been happening across updates, the button definately says shut down ;). Its not the end of the world just really annoying..

I had the same problem and I solved it by going to the Device Manager then properties for the Network adapter and under the tab Power Management I unchecked "Allow this device to wake the computer".

 

This solved it.

Thank you, even though the module that was restarting my computer wasnt in use this still fixed it!

Hello, I am having this same problem and I have tried changing the setting in device managers as suggested and that did not fix the problem. Any help would be awesome
