I finally had a few minutes to go back and take another look at this
problem. I have gone systematically through everything in all of the
posts but unfortunately have not been able to get to the bottom of the
problem. More specifically, I have done the following:
1. updated BIOS;
2. checked for offending software as per one of the Microsoft
knowledge base links;
3. checked Event Viewer for system-error events that seem to be
associated with a shutdown-nothing;
4. unchecked automatic restart in system/advanced-no errors on
shutdown, however;
5. rechecked several times the power settings in BIOS-"wake on LAN
from S5" is disabled and also cannot be changed either in the old BIOS
or in the new-nothing else in BIOS power set up (there are only four
settings) seems in any way related to the problem.
In short, I at a dead end!

I purchased a new computer in December (MB = Intel DQ965GF). It
works
wonderfully but it always restarts even when I have told the system
to
shut down. I have repeatedly checked all the potentially relevant
power settings in BIOS and can see nothing that could cause this
restart even after a deliberate "shutdown."
Do you have any events defined in Scheduled Tasks where the "wake
computer" option is enabled?
Did you check any wakeup triggers defined in the BIOS are enabled,
like
"wake on LAN" or "wake on timer"?
"always restarts" doesn't tell us WHEN it restarts. Does it restart
immediately after powering down? Does "restart" actually mean the
computer never did power down but instead warm rebooted? Does the
computer power up for the "restart" after some period of time after
powering down? Are you actually hibernating instead of shutting
down?
Hmm--immediate restart--same as if one selected restart!
Go into the BIOS and check any power management options there.
