I have a friend with a Compaq Presario running WXP Home,
don't remember the Celeron speed, about 360 RAM, and
when she does the normal Start>Turn off computer>Turn off
thing it shuts down, then after about 3 seconds restarts
itself. Anyone know why?

you can try to use command "shutdown -f -s -t 0" to shutdown computer
if also fail, try to remove all accessary parts and then test your mainboard and power supply ok or not

This sounds like a PSU problem, or a connection to your front panel connectors. Check both.

When was the PC cleaned last?
