Shutdown Problems
I have a computer that won't shutdown when I shutdown in Windows. When I go to the start menu > shutdown > shutdown, the computer acts like it restarts instead of shutting down. Is this a power supply problem? Or could it be a Windows problem? Power switch? I am having to "shutdown" and wait for Windows to shutdown, then flip the main switch on the back of the tower before it tries to boot back up... really annoying.

I've been working here for 10 months and it's been doing it as long as I've been here.

Not yet, I was going to try to get as many suggestions a I could before tomorrow. I will not be able to get to the computer until tomorrow morning, then I will try everyone's suggestions.
Anybody else?
Thanks

I think it's corrupt software.
Try this:
Code:
shutdown -s -t 5 -c "Bitch shutdown now!"
