Hi, i would like to know why when I go to start > turn off computer >shut down > my computer restart and the only way i can shut it off is buy turning off the switch at back.

when you select shut down it brings up a prompt with a drop down box does it not? Make sure shut down is selected. If shut down is selected or you don't get a prompt box, with an administrator account start->run type "cmd" then at the command prompt type "shutdown -s"

dont really know ??????// :S

this sounds very strange
the only thing i can really surgest is that it could be a really gay virus or summin i have neaver had a problem like this and i would have thought the only way to stop this was to back up your good stuff , format c drive and reinstall the operating system as this is most likely to be an error with the operating system.
i would also reccomend calling microsoft ( as long as you have a legal copy of windows) and asking if they could offer any help this is probably your best bet.

hope this helped :)

Virii cannot be "gay," they do not have a sex. :p
There is an option somewhere that you can change what the computer does when the power button is pushed, maybe it could change that, too.

Coming form you thats hard to believe with your tactical ambiguity and all

Now back on topic, do you have normal settings under the power menu in your BIOS?
