PC powers back on a few seconds after I "Shut down"
Hi,
Just finishing a new install of Windows 7 on an SSD, with a secondary standard hard drive.
A strange problem is occurring....when I press "Shut down" in Windows, after about 3-4 seconds, the PC powers back on again.
I can only prevent it doing this by cutting the power in that 3-4 second window.
This started happening just before I began the re-installation of Windows. I had been fiddling with overclock settings in the BIOS but then I cleared the CMOS by shorting the battery terminals. I assume this completed given that it prompted me to enter the date and time again.
Note that there are many threads on the Google relating to random power-downs and power up, but this occurs only after I click "Shut down".
I can only think this is a BIOS issue but I don't know which setting it could be. Apart from the boot priority I don't think I have changed any BIOS settings.
Should I try clearing the CMOS?
Anyone got any ideas here?

Thanks in advance for any help.
