Vista Shutdown issue

I have a problem since a month before SP1 came out. I never installed
the beta. I have Vista Ultimate 64bits all updates done.

When i shutdown my computer turn off correctly. Then within 10 to 60
second the computer turn on. First time i thought i hit restart or
hibernate by mistake. I never use these 2 usually because hibernate =
scrap a hardisk and restart never sure memory cleared (i'm a
programmer so i play with memory alot) so i prefer shutdown and power
back manually.

So i tough next that Wake on Lan was my problem. I check by bios and
it's fine it's off. I updated my bios and same result the problem
still there. I searched the net without any result.

What's weird is if i shutdown my computer and when i saw it power back
on i hold right away my power button so it shutdown before windows
even think of starting it turn off and never ever power back on by
itself.

Other test i did is uplug my mouse and keyboard, sometime some feature
wake computer on keyboard or mouse acivity which is the case of
hibernate. No result, still power back on, so hibernate is out of the
possible problem.

Yesterday i started to get **** at that i decided to remove my network
cable and shutdown my computer. I left it alone for a complete hour
and it never power back on. So i logged in and went check my network
card properties, since my motherboard is wake on lan = off i must be
windows settings that overcome that one.

In the network card configuration. I found a wake on lan and it was
off already, but i saw another one that has wake up in the option name
(don't remeber im not on my computer right now) and there is like 5
options to that option. And it was "Magic Packet something" selected.
I put it to none. save configuration, turned off my computer and it
never turn back on anymore. So i was happy to find the issue. Later i
come back to my computer play a game of quake wars and decided to go
sleep, so i shut it down and the *********** decided to turn back on
again.

Anyone have any idea what i can do more. Outside that problem my
computer runs fine.

i doubt it can be usefull but before someone ask here my specs
(my pc is not OC everything stock):
P5W DH DELUXE
E6600
Corsair XMS 2 DDR2, 2X1024
MSI 8800GTX
Antec Neo550 (PSU)
Audigy 2 Platinium
WD Caviar 300gig 7200rpm 16m cache.

What happens if you type the following on the Start-Run line?

C:\Windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00

i already tried that before but i just retried, still no result. I
does shutdown but it start back up again.

I recheck the network card settings again to check if by any chance
the windows setting about network card have come back to default, and
no it kept my changes.

Really weird that the first time when i change the settings it worked
but not the second.

i'll tried recheck if my bios has another kind of wake on lan feature,
but i doubt.

BTW i checked the options for the network card here the 2 of the im
talking about:

Wake on Shut down
(choices)
- On
- Off (current)

Wake up Capabilities
(choices)
- Link change
- Magic Packet
- Magic Packet & Patterns Match (was default)
- None (current)
- Pattern Match

yesterday i changed the wake up capabilities from magic paket and
patterns match to none and i shut down and it never boot back.
But later i open back my computer, played a game and shutdown and them
it rebooted. The option seems to have fixed the issue only once.

But like i say by uplugging network cable the problem diseapear so i
know it has to do with wake on lan like feature.

Have you tried another power supply ?

I just installed my other computer 450watts power supply but i had to
use the onboard video because it would be to short to power my
8800gtx. I tried and still does same thing. I retried the Lan cable
off while closing and on 4 tries it power back on once. So wake on lan
seems to not be the problem after all. although removing the network
cable solve the problem 75% of the time.

I also tried put my old 80 gig hard disk with windows 2000/xp
partitions and both boot fine and they both shutdown correctly. It has
to be windows vista the problem.

Hi got exactly the same problem (Vista basic )
restarts automatically a few seconds after shutdown when connected to the
mains
problems disappears when on battery only
a shame nobody seems to have the answer !!

Hi All,
Have been reading about the problems you guys have and they are are of a
similar nature to the one I have.
I start the shutdown sequence and windows says..... Logging
Off...then.....Closing Down .... then the screen powers off but my PC just
keeps running, I then have to press & hold the Power button untill the
machine powers off. When I restart everything starts as normal, this has only
started to happen about 4 weeks back,up till then it all worked fine. I have
not added any programs or software except Windows updates ...you guys seem
more cluded up than I do and was hoing you could help?.
Regards
John

Sounds like it's going into "Sleep" mode.
