Computer restarting on shutdown

[hellomcfly]

this past week one of my computers began to restart when i did a normal windows shutdown.
no hardware changes have been made recently.
because it was my internet/aim computer i slapped a version of ubuntu on it to see if something was wrong with windows. the problem still accurs

any ideas ?

I would try a bios update.

reset your BOIS see if there is anything in there that has changed.

this computer does not have a floppy drive ! and it appears it is not bootable via USB

hmm

Ireally think your having a bios problem. Do you have a floppy you can temporarly install? You need to figure out a way to get your bios updated or reset....
