System restarts every time I shut down.

I have a PII 333MHZ system with Soyo motherboard. The system does not shut down when I turn it off. If I try to shut down the system thru windows it restarts again, and if I press on the power button it shuts down and then restarts again. I unplugged and plugged the power supply connector cable on the system board, and it did not work. I replaced the power supply and it did not work. I replaced the front panel that has the power button, and this did not work. I checked the BIOS and everything looks fine. What could be the problem! help.

If your system restarts instead of shutting down, it may be a problem induced by a recently added video card or sound card driver. Before you reinstall Windows or waste a lot of time with other attempted fixes try this: type "msconfig" into the Star menu's Run dialog, then select Advanced, then click "disable fast shutdown." That should fix it.

If you have Norton Antivirus, disable "Scan floppies for boot viruses when shutting down" This is in [Options] [Auto Protect] [Advanced]. Also, before shutting down make sure you've closed all running apps. including screen savers.
